Constitution Buff - 7% to 11%

Description
Because apparently 15% was still too much for some people

A simple increase of the Constitution bonus to life : the bonus has moved from 7% to 11% per Constitution point. The idea is to face several problems of the base game :
- Constitution is not an attractive stat to increase. Unless you want to equip shields it is usually more valuable to raise your damage-dealing stats. A drastic increase to the Constitution benefits should help with that.
- The easiest way to resolve combats is to one-shot enemies, which is an arguably unfun way to play. This mod should make one-shotting harder, thus pushing players to think their strategies on a slightly longer scope.

I might still increase or reduce the Constitution scaling of this mod depending on what the playtesting of this mod shows, so don't hesitate giving me any feedback on what you think of the new ratios !

/!\ As a side effect, this mod will also increase armor values of enemies and items you find, because the armor values are calculated as a percentage of expected life values.

I hope you enjoy the mod :)

Known Issues:
- If a given character has been created without this mod, it will still have its previous life total, with only their maximum life changed. The current life will only be affected on characters that haven't been initialized yet. If a game starts with the mod there should be no issues.

@Gorwe: It's for everyone, but it's not based on a specific character's health value - it uses the average characters' health on a given level, so increasing the bonus health given by Constitution gives more armor to everyone (NPCs and armor you loot), but increasing the health points of a specific character in any way doesn't do anything to change their armor.

Wow, thank you. That's only for NPCs or ... ? Will a tank character have more Armor values due to high CON?

@Gorwe: The armor values for NPCs and equipment are indexed on the exected health value at the same level. I don't know the actual formula, and it's been a while since I've done most of my modding research on this game, so my memory is a bit blurry, but increasing the average health characters get at a given level also increases the values of all armor stats at that level more or less proportionally.

Care to explain this bit about Armor Values and their link to expected life values?

@HammyBread Picture of Health does not give more payout for constitution as it scales for points in Warfare, furthering the problem of not needing to spec into const to be tanky. This mod also makes the enemies tankier, which PoH does not, and thereby this mod makes fights longer and less about one-shotting.

Good mod i like the idea to sprint a bit cos but no too much, thank you

@HammyBread: Thank you, I am well aware of the existence of the Picture of Health talent :winter2019happyyul: You guessed completely wrong, I just believe that, Picture of Health or not, Constitution is generally a waste of points in this game, and I think that tanks and defensive stats are deeply underpowered and would benefit from anything that would improve their efficiency. Besides it also empowers enemies' survivability, which ALSO would benefit from a buff in my opinion.

In any case I don't think it justifies such a condescending comment on your part. I mean, even if you were right, well the mod is not for you, let people who it is for enjoy it :winter2019neutralyul:

Don't mean to be that guy, but if you want more payout from constitution picture of health talent exists.
I'm guessing you just don't want to use a talent point to boost your hp, but if your goal was to be tanky its a core talent to pick.....
