Description
Welcome to OBO, the Overall Balance Overhaul, pronounced "oboe" (yes, like the instrument).

OBO is itself split up into many smaller mods to make finding, using, mixing and matching easier for users, and to make updating them easier on my end. Please read the main collection page for more info, as this description will only cover this submod specifically.

This is the Knife rebalance mod, which simply increases the damage dealt and range of your not-so-trusty melee weapon.

RATIONALE:
A shadow of the sledge from SS3, the knife was underwhelming and disappointing (it doesn't even give health with the perk that heals you on melee kills!).

Now, it's only slightly underwhelming. It's far more reliable as an off-hand choice, and a double-slash can kill most medium enemies, including Scrapjacks, and at a range that's less likely to get you chomped/stomped/stabbed by whatever it is you're trying to kill.


CHANGELOG (X means unchanged):


Damage: 130 to 230
Swing radius: 2.5 to 4

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a damage multiplier for the knife.

You could just do a damage multilplier for some enemies so it wont be to OP.

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, I made the damage pretty high. The reason I did is that I wanted the player to be able to dual-wield with a knife in your off-hand and kill most medium and smaller enemies with a single stab, to make the knife more viable. I might reduce the damage a bit, because killing a Werebull with one stab is fun, but may be a bit much. If I do reduce damage, it will definitely still kill a Kleer in one shot though, since it's already risky to try that and I find it fun when I get it right.

I think the damage is already to high. You could one shot a kleer with a KNIFE. I think it should be like iin tfe and tse where it almost klls the kleer.
