About this mod
Extends the "Background Bonuses" mod to include bonuses for those backgrounds added in the amazing "More Backgrounds and Events" mod. While attempts were made to keep the bonuses balanced, this mod includes some less straightforward -- and potentially more powerful -- bonuses compared to the base "Background Bonuses" mod.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This mod is deprecated, with the "More Backgrounds and Events" bonuses now applied automatically within the vanilla mod if "more backgrounds and events" is detected. Please use that mod instead and uninstall this one if you want to keep receiving updates/fixes.
All background bonus effects will show up in the tooltips of each bro's background. Bonus effects also listed below:
Requires the More Backgrounds and Events mod to run, but should otherwise be compatible with most other mods (confirmed working with Reforged). Highly recommended to use with the base Background Bonuses mod (vanilla or Reforged).
Some other recommended mods for adding flavor/additional mechanics to recruited bros:
Elite few
Starting Perks by Background
Should be safe to add or remove mid run, though the "More Backgrounds and Events" mod cannot be removed.
Suggestions for alternate thematically appropriate bonuses are welcome, as well as opinions on balance between the different backgrounds.
Please list any bugs encountered under the 'Bugs' page.
