About this mod
Sunless Grasp's single target damage was increased from 18 - 26 cold damage (average 22) to 30 - 45 (37.5), to better balance it compared to other spells in the same tier. The new damage is equivalent to 2.5 ticks of chill fog (a DoT AoE from the same tier).

Kalakoths Sunless Grasp is an underpowered spell in Pillars of Eternity. So Sunless Grasp was changed here, to be better balanced compared to the other spells. The damage was increased to be roughly equivalent to other spells.
Rebalance Reason:
Kalakoths Sunless Grasp does less damage than other spells in the same tier, and because it is so weak and redundant there is almost no reason to use this spell. Chill Fog is a spell in the same tier with the same damage type, same status effect, it is an AoE (better) and does way more damage than Kalakoth's Sunless Grasp (75 average per target). Fan of Fire is anothe AoE spell in the same tier that does on average 36 damage per target. One tier higher Necrotic Lance is a ranged single targe spell that does nearly 70 damage on average. Kalakoths Sunless Grasp does way less damage than a single target, melee range spell of this tier should do.
Why 30-45 damage:
30 - 45 damage is equivalent to 2.5 ticks of chill fog. It is also equivalent to fan of flames (but single target). So this seems like a good balance point.
How To Install:
Place this kalakoths_sunless_grasp.unity3d in the following folder: "Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity_Data\assetbundles\prefabs\objectbundle".
For example if you use Steam: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity\PillarsOfEternity_Data\assetbundles\prefabs\objectbundle"
