About this mod
Makes the late game Brand schematics the same as the Blade of Tidarion. With its Grip, it becomes better than Tidarion.
So, it is about progress.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
The schematics for the Blade of Tidarion come rather early in the game and then, to my knowledge, nothing of the genre appear until Brand schematics are received after you catch the Harlequins in the Winter Palace (Trespasser), which is a long time with the same weapon.
The Blade of Tidarion, with an elemental rune, allows 24 projectiles with Energy Barrage instead of 12 for staffs, which makes it the natural weapon for Knight Enchanters.
But Brand has 19 less units of materials overall (6, 4, 5) compared to Tidarion (12, 12, 12). On the plus side, it has a Grip slot (Tier3: 9, 3).
With this mod, the Brand Schematics have the same slots as Tidarion's: 3 Offense slots of 12 units, one of each Material.
So, with its Grip, it becomes better than the Blade of Tidarion, which is what progress deserves this late in the game.
Also, the restriction 'for Warriors only' has been removed.
The Kite Shield schematics is made available for all classes to use.
I kept the numbers but the Defense Metal slot has been changed into a Utility Cloth slot more adapted for Mages and KE.
The Kite Shield is a small Tier 1 shield, so it doesn't give too much of a boost (as Mages are not supposed to hold one).
It would become a real cheat if you use a major Masterwork ability or one at all. If you do, put something you would never use on a normal piece of equipment like Focus gain, Horn of Valor, some healing buff, or the best of all: On Dying, have a chance...
I tested it for a while and all but one thing work fine; animations, spells, 12 projectiles per element with Energy Barrage.
There is a display oddity with the shield, though. When a spell is cast, the shield is placed above the arm instead of on both sides of it.
The screenshots show how the character looks like with and without it.
Installation
You should install this mod when you start Trespasser or any other time provided you don't need the Kite Shield for a warriors anymore (because of the slot change).
The mod has been made with the Frosty Editor. You can download the mod manager there: Frosty Mod Manager and Editor
For those who don't know yet, the Frosty Mod Manager converts the .daimod files into a format it can manage so that simplifies things to use exclusively that mod manager.
But not all Daimod mods are properly converted by the Frosty mod manager, though.
