can this mod be compatible with Restored Chosen Traits? Saw a comment that says that the game crashes most of the time if the Assassin or Warlock spawn but the commenter isn't sure if those mods being together caused the game to crash.

Little word of warning for anyone who might be using wrath of the chosen mod. Your gonna regret life if the Chosen has daze rounds as a bonus perk XD

Unless of course you want the chosen to extract knowledge or capture your soldiers in one turn. If you don't know about that mod it gives the Chosen some abilities as well as more action points. And firing weapons only uses 1 action point. So I'm sure you can get why that mod and this mod goes together for nightmare fuelled encounters.

The weakness called "focused energy" shouldnt be called "Weak Spot"?

So sometimes a Chosen will get a perk with no info on what it does any one else has this problem?

@Chris Drew
just be thankfull ur not using a harder war chosen pack, cos then you would super fucked
Chris Drew 3 Jan, 2021 @ 1:43pm 
To elaborate, it's the issue is not that it makes it difficult, it's just really dull to deal with a chosen when they're THIS tanky (11 defence, 5 armour, and 46 hit points, regening maybe 6 per turn sans resistance), I think I now know why the devs didn't make them this tough in the base game :steamsad:

can someone help, I'm using the delta strike mod, and this mod, (as well as several others). I'm on commander w/ beta strike and delta strike (I am looking for challenge.), and the Hunter has spawned with Lucky, Kinetic plating, and soft head. How the fuck do I deal with this...

@Dragon32 k thanks mate
can allways rely on you
Dragon32 27 Aug, 2020 @ 5:59am 
@aegis
I'm using them both together, no problems spotted
aegis 27 Aug, 2020 @ 2:47am 
or is it compatible with a better chosen?
beacause then i would have no reason to uninstall
aegis 27 Aug, 2020 @ 2:38am 
is it safe to remove mid campaign?
Freelancer 20 Jul, 2020 @ 2:32am 
May I ask whether this mod can combine with Expose Chosen Weakness mod? Thanks!
Oblivious Naga 4 May, 2020 @ 1:57am 
Why is it all their attacks that cause burning and not the primary weapon attacks? Harbour wave that causes burning is a little broken

Oh thank you for the response @HoneyTheBear. I figured that was the case but wasn't 100% and wasn't sure what values were acceptable.
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 2 Mar, 2020 @ 2:47pm 
@Lebowskichild if set to 1, the Toxic Personality trait will grant the chosen immunity to poison, fiery disposition will grant immunity to fire, and abrasive nature will grant immunity to acid. It's not a huge deal but I decided I didn't really like it after it was coded so I made it configurable and deactivated by default.
Lebowskichild 2 Mar, 2020 @ 11:56am 
Can anybody tell me what this setting is for?

+PERSONALITY_IMMUNITY = 0 ;0 means chosen will not be immune to elements just because of their personality.

I set speed demon to give an extra 3 speed instead of 12. That seems fair to me since it is one of the best strengths they can have.
N3V3RFORGOTT3N 19 Apr, 2019 @ 5:15pm 
getting the warlock with lucky / speed demon and only real weakness is to electrical attacks...... early on i just cant fight him he has 39hp and 9 armor thx to another mod and he just mind controls someone each turn + shots or summons things T_T need halp

I do so love the assassin with speed demon, especially as she likes to tag it in most campaigns over the other chosen. Had a mission with the lost city and the boat type mission, she ran from the end of the map on the boat, hit my guy in the middle of the map then fled to the start of the map. She could attack and cover the entire map.
TheRedHand 16 Mar, 2019 @ 4:04pm 
@HoneyTheBear Thanks for the reply. I'll try commenting out Speed Demon and see if I notice any changes. I could just be expecting too much from the aggressive chosen mod.
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 16 Mar, 2019 @ 3:39pm 
@Dylan, The only thing that may affect their AI is if they have speed demon, their mobility will give them additional options. It does not directly edit any behavior trees though, so it should be compatible with any mods that affect the chosen AI.
TheRedHand 16 Mar, 2019 @ 3:37pm 
Would you consider this mod to alter Chosen's AI? I want to use it with "Aggressive Chosen" but I'm not sure if it conflicts.
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 17 Feb, 2019 @ 11:40am 
I do not
Jakesullycom13 17 Feb, 2019 @ 11:25am 
Do you perhaps use mod launcher?
Jakesullycom13 17 Feb, 2019 @ 11:23am 
Thank you!
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 17 Feb, 2019 @ 11:20am 
Aatrox: Go to Steamapps > Workshop > Content > 268500 > 1468360211 > Config > XComGameData. Change all the + to - for things you don't want. If the Chosen has already been assigned the trait in the campaign, this won't help.
Jakesullycom13 17 Feb, 2019 @ 9:06am 
Where do I go to disable a trait that I dont want the Chosen to have?
Jakesullycom13 11 Feb, 2019 @ 10:10am 
Cool
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 10 Feb, 2019 @ 1:28pm 
@I wanna be Bastion: Specialist has a few, skirmisher has one, and EMP grenades will also be counted.
Jakesullycom13 10 Feb, 2019 @ 1:11pm 
What units have electric attack?
MantiSynth 2 Feb, 2019 @ 7:36pm 
who else got the reference with the "balanced" strength?
JCGemX 10 Jan, 2019 @ 9:29am 
Question: if you gave, for example snakecharmer, to a soldier and used it. Would the summoned viper be on your side?

icon?
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 6 Nov, 2018 @ 8:22pm 
@grim37 Some attacks, such as combat protocol or soulfire, deal direct damage without being mitigated by armor. Along with piercing rounds, these are considered piercing, but not explosive. In the same way, attacks that shred armor but are not explosive will also be counted.
grim 6 Nov, 2018 @ 8:18pm 
hello. what is "Non-explosive attacks that shred or pierce"
sorry,i don't understand.
Kakroom 3 Nov, 2018 @ 9:40am 
The Chosen weren't born with T H I C C S C I N
rockbiter68 9 Oct, 2018 @ 11:24am 
@HoneyTheBear
Ah nuts. It's on an existing campaign, and I kind of figured if a Chosen was assigned a trait that they'd keep it. But I had them commented out before I discovered a new Chosen - does the game assign traits to them right at the beginning?

I'll loading an old save and putting a minus sign there, and I'll let you know if that works.
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 7 Oct, 2018 @ 4:27pm 
@rockbiter68 it is entierly possible that when I said "comment them out", I was just straight up wrong. That, or if it already exists on a campaign it is there to stay.

Once a trait is assigned to a chosen, commenting it out shouldn't do anything.
If you commented it out, and it showed up on a new campaign, the solution might be to put a minus sign where the plus sign is in the config file.

If none of that works I am surely bamboozled.
rockbiter68 7 Oct, 2018 @ 2:50pm 
I'm trying to comment out certain traits I don't want, but they're still showing up in game. Do comment out a line, it should like this, right?

; ChosenStrengths="ToxicPersonalityAbility"

Or am I doing somethign wrong?
Kerag 26 Sep, 2018 @ 2:26am 
Is there a way to add more Positive Traits to them? I mean their max is 5, what about increasing it to 7?
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 18 Sep, 2018 @ 8:29pm 
@Kaboodles extra status effects do not do extra damage except for the tick damage at the start of your turn
Kaboodles 18 Sep, 2018 @ 7:50pm 
Do the "Chosen do extra status effect" traits do extra damage? My Assassin just walked up and straight up murdered a full health Mox on the Reaper/Skirmisher rendezvous story mission, causing me to fail immediately. That was dumb.
Azzla 1 Sep, 2018 @ 11:00am 
Speed Demon is a nasty, nasty power. My Hunter got it with venom rounds. I had my squad grouped up behind a door, hoping to breach it next turn and start fighting him on our own terms, but he just used his 27 friggin' mobility to run around us plant a bullet in our butts. As our turn began, of course, the poison spread to nearly everyone on the squad and the man he shot went into bleedout from the combined effects of poison and the Hunter's innate Bleed effect on shots. Instant evac. Thanks, dude! Awesome mod.
DERPKING1991 18 Aug, 2018 @ 7:31pm 
Sadly it was like I said and it only happens when assassin shows up and warlock if anything, it works fine with the hunter.
What's An Airport? 18 Aug, 2018 @ 6:33pm 
I love that the trait balnaced is no crits. Implying that crits that crits weren't fair and balanced.
DERPKING1991 18 Aug, 2018 @ 1:39pm 
Well if it happens again when they show up ill know what it is
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 18 Aug, 2018 @ 10:35am 
@DerpMaster in that case I am probably wrong, though I don't know what is causing it.
DERPKING1991 18 Aug, 2018 @ 8:50am 
I had to make sure cause my game crashed two times against the chosen ever since I put this on and I had to go through my mods to find out what it was but I was clueless.
HoneyTheYellowBear  [author] 18 Aug, 2018 @ 7:22am 
@DerpMaster.USA I don't think they should conflict, so you should be able to have them both.
DERPKING1991 17 Aug, 2018 @ 6:01pm 
Should I take off the other "restore traits" for this to work well or does it matter?
