Installation
Extract the file folders into C:\Program Files\Epic Games\DarkestDungeonII\Darkest Dungeon II_Data\StreamingAssets\Excel and extract the z_MOD_howling_end.txt file into ..\StreamingAssets\Localization\Sources to compile the text changes. Make sure to save the backup folder somewhere safe. To revert the mod, move the backup folder's contents into the StreamingAssets\Excel folder and delete any files that are identified with "!MOD".

Description
Included are five different mods to Hellion's Howling End skill, intended to find ways to make it less utterly game-breaking while still useful and interesting.
  • Exhausting: Increases cooldown to 2 (from 1) and gives 3 Winded tokens on use.
  • Stunning: Stuns the Hellion on use, guaranteed (no resistance check).
  • Implacable: Ignores the damage penalty from Winded, but requires Winded to use. Cooldown increased to 2 to account for greater spammability.
  • Deadly: Damage reduced to slightly worse than Wicked Hack, but ignores Death's Door completely.
  • Annihilating: Ignores the damage penalty from Winded and gains +33% per Winded token on the Hellion, but can only be used 1/battle. Maximum damage reduced by 2 to compensate for greater damage potential.

If you want to switch between these mods, make sure to extract the backup folder before extracting the new mod, to ensure the new mod is applied to a clean slate and prevent any weirdness from happening.

Please provide feedback on which one you think is most balanced, or if you have any further suggestions.
