[request] [anti-fear mechanic] "Face Your Fears" for WOTC
Face your fears is an mod that, using an exposure therapy mechanic on your units, turns phobias into permanent buffs.
Combat based ones such as "Fear Of Mutons" simply need the one who has it, or their fellow squad members on the mission, to inflict damage on a muton 10 times.
This would then become Justice against Mutons or something similar, which can proc a random buff.
Okay, but what about non combat based phobias?
For things like fear of panicking, all it needs to do is successfully proc 5 times, to turn into a permanent benefit random proc forever.

I'm sure face your fears will be quite the welcome re-balancer. Cause it is a balancer so you aren't just stuck with phobias and random procs.

Thanks, but I already am subscribed to that and have it checked in my mod loader.

What I'm looking for is something that slowly evolves negative traits; into positive versions OF the negative traits, through either the infirmary, exposure therapy, or directly combating their phobias.
Basically: Take their fears and desensitize them into strengths using an set amount of times they have resisted / panicked. From inflicting damage 10 times on the enemy they're afraid to, to things like fear of panicking being resisted / triggered 5 times.

The cycle basically goes:

Out of Combat Fear (Fear of panicking, perfectionist, etc.) > Exposure Phase (5) > Fear Becomes Permanent Buff (I.E. Perfectionist turns into Perfect Astuteness, which would give extra base damage to weapons and proc overwatch when their turn ends)

Combatative Fear (Fear of Mutons, Vipers, Etc.) > Damage Phase (10) > Fear becomes permanent buff (Fear of Mutons becomes Muton Exterminator, dealing extra damage to mutons, fear of vipers turns into viper killer, which does more damage to vipers and so on...)

Any Soldier With Phobia > New Infirmary Slot For Soldier with Phobia > X amount of days + a 3 energy upkeep for those days > Fear Becomes Permanent Buff

With robotic units unable to recieve these buffs and debuffs.

From the mod description.

Positive traits work on a bit of a hidden system: they can only be gained from a soldier naturally recovering from traits. This requires the Infirmary to be built, but not using the "remove all negative traits" functionality of it. Instead, affected soldiers must go on enough "perfect" missions (missions that they don't get injured on) in order to recover from the negative trait. They will then roll for their positive trait replacement.

Feel free to wait for someone to make your perfect version. Just saying. It practically exists already.:steamfacepalm:
