Thank you for letting me know @AvangionQ!

Apologies that I haven't been active on this mod, I've been working on other projects and dealing with school :)

@Hayydebb, I can confirm Oath of Vigilance functions as written :)
Hayydebb 17 Jul, 2022 @ 8:41am 
did oath of vigilance ever get looked at?

I'm having trouble recreating the issue, when I have Rose Tinted Shades active and pick up an upgraded Blessing of Wisdom, it doesn't effect it at all for me. Could there be a third factor?

Over 140 of them ... next time I run this mod, will save the whole debug log.
Pudgypoultry  [author] 9 Jul, 2022 @ 12:52am 
That is.... extremely odd. What other mods do you have active?
AvangionQ 8 Jul, 2022 @ 6:22pm 
Blessing of Wisdom now gives +0 focus ... this is something weird?

Blessing of Wisdom+ only gives me +1 Focus for some reason ... bug?

I don't like the card "Faith in the light" and the upgraded version is even worse. My first run with the character on A0 is after picking it (on floor 3, I think) I finished every fight with full HP (except vs Elite). It incentivizes dragging out fights for a few more turns to get the healing which isn't completely unheard of (meat on the bone) but I don't know. It doesn't feel fun. Maybe on A20 I wouldn't be able to block as well but he does have a lot of ways to block and has decent block cards (he even has "the bomb" as a card). Drawing faith in the light and prayer+ in the same turn is a heck of a lot of healing lol.

ah im not sure, i usually record a local video of me playing but i cant find a video for that particular crash to remember... it might be something to do with CardEffectsCardMod.class from downfall mod but am not sure..

i'll keep an eye out and will keep trying to play that CrusadersJudgement card whenever i can, to see... im not sure if i was trying to cast it onto the small bronze orb (which is like a small minnion on our side, but it also steals 1 card from us just like the triple larger versions who have Artifact, and steal cards from the player) :)
Pudgypoultry  [author] 5 Nov, 2021 @ 7:20am 
@pgames-food

I'm looking at the error log and I'm unfamiliar with the cards from The Automaton. Do you remember exactly what happened before the crash occurred? I've looked on my own and haven't been able to find anything, so if you have any info on what was going on right before the crash I'll ask on the StS modding discord about it!
pgames-food 3 Nov, 2021 @ 8:14pm 
ah cool, thanks pudgypoultry :)
Pudgypoultry  [author] 3 Nov, 2021 @ 6:32pm 
@pgames-food Hey! Thank you for letting me know the error with the error report! I'll look into this tonight :)
pgames-food 3 Nov, 2021 @ 3:57pm 
hi pudgypoultry :)

i like the paladin and often like using the cards even with other characters too. one thing i had though was a crash that mentioned 1 card from this mod not working with the downfall mod, but i wasnt sure which mod is best placed to possibly help so i posted both there and here just in case you can spot what is going wrong?

i got a bug when using the wow Paladin mod here when playing with downfall:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2420293022&searchtext=paladin

full post is here for you in case it helps:

For anyone who is asking about a chinese translation, if you know a translator who would be willing to help, please let me know. I cannot personally translate this but I would love for more people to be able to enjoy the content I've made. Thank you!
Pudgypoultry  [author] 2 Aug, 2021 @ 8:31pm 
@Hayydebb

I will check on Oath of Vigilance! Runic Pyramid works as the designer of Slay the Spire intended. It does not Retain your hand, it turns off the discard function at the end of turn. These are not equivalent functions.
Hayydebb 2 Aug, 2021 @ 6:08pm 
Oath of vigilance seems to only be increasing by 1 when it should be 4. also runic pyramid completely bricked a run. i was focusing on using establishment and retain and this relic doesnt trigger establishment and skips the retain phase so i soft locked my build

I work slow as hell but Shaman is actually the one I've started on next!

Current idea is basically "specific orb slots", so 4 special slots that only take Fire, Water, Wind, or Earth respectively.
Merkabo 20 May, 2021 @ 3:44am 
WoW shaman I mean, windfury, enhancement playstyle would be very cool
Merkabo 20 May, 2021 @ 3:43am 
How do you feel about doing shaman next? A lot of potential there. really nice class good job
Pudgypoultry  [author] 1 May, 2021 @ 9:29pm 
Your point about Act 3 is solid. Shields Up is definitely one of the most powerful cards. There is room for more cards and I intend to make more in the future, so I will take this point about block into consideration. Perhaps when I add more cards, Seal of Light may change as well to increase possible synergies of play.
tuti250 1 May, 2021 @ 9:12am 
Wait, Caltrops is 3(5)!? I'm sorry, I thought it was 5(8) for some reason and that's what I based my suggestion around. I think my view was also biased by my run using Shields Up, which gives a lot more Thorns. It is arguably easier to get too, it costs 3 Holy rather than a card and an energy.

Act 3 has two of the easiest fights to stall, Darklings and Shapes. If you have reliable Block (Plated Armor) and some Thorns/Consecration you can let the Spiker raise its Thorns. You can keep killing all but 1 Darkling and block its attack.

The problem with Block is not that it's weak, it's that you can't find it reliably. When you are not offered Block cards you're forced to stop picking Attacks to be able to draw Block when you need it. You can also feel forced to pick Block cards with a mechanic you don't use just so you can block. Once your deck has good Block options it's not a problem to stall the fight to heal, the problem is in the card drafting.

Faith in the Light now correctly tagged as "HEALING"
Pudgypoultry  [author] 30 Apr, 2021 @ 9:45pm 
-I'll get FitL correctly tagged, thank you for letting me know! I'm aware of that style of play but it isn't simple to outpace Act 3 damage with the healing available. Combining this with the comment about block, either there is enough block to enable this or there is not enough block and this isn't viable. I believe balance exists.
-Repentance is one of the only ways to draw cards. I'll playtest alternatives but if you're removing everything to get the infinite that seems like a fine way to play the game hoping you don't run into Time Eater.
-I don't understand how it's "vastly inferior" to caltrops and the fix is to make it strictly better entirely. Caltrops is 3(5) for 1. This is 2(4) for 1 at common. Common cards with similar effects should be either simpler or less powerful than uncommon cards. If the suggestion is to make an uncommon card that is better than Caltrops, I could consider adding another one, but I believe shield spikes is fine where it is.
tuti250 30 Apr, 2021 @ 6:29pm 
- Faith in the Light is not tagged as Healing, it can be randomly generated by Dead Branch or Nilry's Codex or Dead Branch. This is bad, it means with these relics you are incentivised to stall the fight to full-heal.
- Faith in the Light+ also suffers from this. Slow infinite healing is bad. Suggestion: make the passive effect apply Temporary HP and make the upgrade gain 2 Holy instead of removing Exhaust.
- Repentance+ drawing 2 cards for 0 without Exhaust enables an easy infinite with Zealotry
- There are more Common cards than in other characters but not enough Block cards, it's hard to find the Block you need when your initial deck has 6 attacks already.
- Shield Spike is vastly inferior to Silent's Caltrops even for a Common. Suggestion: rais the Thorns to 3(5) and make it cost 0.

Thanks! I didn't think of that
Pudgypoultry  [author] 30 Apr, 2021 @ 2:14pm 
Update: Light's Meditation now works correctly with Chemical X! Double checked Condemn Heresy to make sure it does as well.

@HintOfSarcasm: I don't know that character well enough to do it, but if you go to the modding discord in the SlayTheSpire discord I know there are some who take commissions!
HintofSarcasm 30 Apr, 2021 @ 12:57am 
Do you take requests? I would kill for a Cloud Strife skin. Probably pay for it too :D
Pudgypoultry  [author] 29 Apr, 2021 @ 10:50am 
@SolarNougat

Thank you for letting me know, will address this. This is something I've been sure I fixed numerous times so I need to figure out what's causing this.

@Young Dreamy

For the rest of the combat. Are there examples of other cards that give permanent plated armor? If so I need to word Retribution! differently.
Da Dog Doin Dope 24 Apr, 2021 @ 11:08am 
Hey so, what does the card "Retribution!" mean? 5 plated armor for the rest of combat? Or permanent?
Pudgypoultry  [author] 7 Apr, 2021 @ 1:47pm 
Buffed Purge as per @MoistYaurtEau's suggestion, it now draws a card in addition to its other effects when triggered.
Pudgypoultry  [author] 7 Apr, 2021 @ 1:17pm 
@MoistYaurtEau

I will consider that with Purge!

Shield Spikes is common, Caltrops is uncommon, this was intended.

Condemn Heresy is part of the Valiance class of cards, underpowered in general against hallway fights but much better against Elites. Since it deals 10(14) per energy spent against elites it becomes better than Silent's Skewer in those fights.

There's a number of retain cards, two commons and one uncommon that allow you to retain your whole hand for a turn, not just the rares.
MoistSpookyWater 7 Apr, 2021 @ 12:02pm 
Also retain seems a bit niche since theres 2 retain cards that are rare and only 2 that aren't and only 2 cards that give buffs if they are retained I don't know if you were planning on adding more cards but ye
MoistSpookyWater 7 Apr, 2021 @ 11:54am 
Purge seems too weak to be a rare(although I have never proc'd it) because it doesn't draw you a card after you exhaust the curse it could be a uncommon

Shield spikes is just a shitty caltrops 2(4) where caltrops is 3(5)

Condemn Heresy I am assuming only hits one target I don't think this card is good since its just a whirlwind but only hits one enemy even with the valiant buff its not worth taking ever

@Sagil

This is actually how it works in the game with other retain cards. This is not a quirk of my mod.

Runic Pyramid does not "Retain", it turns off the end of turn discard effect. I agree that this is odd but while it creates a bit of feel-bad it does fully follow the conventions of the base game.
Sagil 5 Apr, 2021 @ 1:03am 
Cards such as Establishment and Order of Piety that trigger on card retention don't work with Runic Pyramid.
