The Corrupted Chosen One

The Chosen one is corruptable though special interactions. When killed, the cycle of rebirth can cause other effects. Early in the CO's life, they are more suceptible to subversion, but may have more potential for strength when unopposed for long.

I have chosen most values arbitrarily and have not tested for balance. This mod will likely make the game easier since you are able to directly affect the Chosen One's enshadowment, stats, sanity, and motivations. Some of my desired features may need to wait for an update to the modding interface; quite a few mechanics are unchangeable at the moment (v0.8).

The number of turns in between dreams is based on the last time a dream event fired, the type and level of dream events that are possible, and other environmental states like CO vulnerability, and location ward modifiers. Specific logic is detailed below.

Each dream event is assigned a level based on its apparent ''strength'' and effect on gameplay. Based on the event level, the dream will require a set level of shadow and/or infiltration to fire. The next dream's cooldown will then be adjusted for the level of dream event that was fired. Additionally, each group of events has an individual ''last dream'' and cooldown tracker to prevent duplicate events from firing successively. If an event is refused, the ''NO'' cooldown is used for both global and per-group cooldowns. Dream events are divided into 5 levels with higher levels becoming more common as conditions are met.

Global Condition for all Events:
Per-Group Condition:
