About this mod
Counters the increase in abilities costs introduced by patch 3.0 and previous Cipher nerfs
- Permissions and credits
This is a "placeholder" mod aimed at taking the edge off the severe nerfing of the Cipher class. Until IE MOD is updated to the latest patch, I am using this to make Ciphers more interesting to play.
WHAT DOES IT DO
This mod gives your Ciphers enough starting Focus to begin battle with their highest-level power. At the same time, it's not completely overpowered and does not trivialize Cipher gameplay (unless you choose the third option). YMMV, of course.
Option 1: Add 40 Max Focus, which also translates to +20 Starting Focus. Counters the increase in spell costs in Patch 3.0.
Option 2: Start battles with 1/2 Max Focus rather than 1/4. Counters the nerf introduced in 1.05 IIRC.
Option 3: Combines the above options. May be considered overpowered.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The files are patched Assembly-CSharp.dll. Download the version you prefer, unzip and copy to your PillarsOfEternity_Data/Managed folder, replacing the original file (back the original up in case anything goes wrong).
Built and tested for Patch 3.0 / White March 2 Expansion
