About this mod

Mod aiming to make the soul blades ciphers a better single class option.

Permissions and credits
Short story, I wanted to play a single class soul blade but everywhere I looked people recommended it as a multi class.

So here are a few changes to make the soul blade a better single class option. It also comes with a few changes that apply to all cipher classes.

Changes to all classes (except psions):

added two three new abilities:

  • Soul Knives: automatically granted at level 1, accessible in the level 2 spells launcher. Summons two knives that do raw damage and generate more focus (10% of their damage is returned as focus, in addition to the focus generated by soul whips)

  • Soul Bow: automatically granted at level 10 level 8, accessible in the level 5 level 4 spells launcher. Summons a bow that does raw damage and generate more focus (20% of its damage)

  • Soul Lance: automatically granted at level 15, accessible in the level 7 spells launcher. Summons a lance that does raw damage and generate more focus (35% of its damage)

Soul Blade Overhaul:

Original Soul blade:
  • Soul whip: 20% damage.
  • Biting whip: 30% damage.
  • Draining whip: 20% damage, +100% focus generation.
  • Psychic Backlash: Enemies Stunned when attacking cipher's will.
  • Brutal Backlash: Raw damage + stunned when attacking cipher's will.

Modified Soul blade:
  • Soul whip: 25% damage.
  • Biting Whip: 40% damage, -10% focus generation. (do more damage but should generate a similar amount of focus per attack to what you would get with the basic soul whip)
  • Draining Whip: 25% damage, +75% focus generation
  • Mind Wave (lvl 1), Mind Blades(lvl 2), Mind Lance(lvl 4) and Detonate(lvl 5) have been modified to be cast faster and/or have lower recovery time.
  • Battle Mind (Psychic Backlash replacer): -5 Will, +3 Deflection. -7 Will, +5 Deflection. The cipher taps into their willpower to anticipate enemies actions therefore gaining deflection. Not very cost efficient at this stage but is the first step into learning the much more interesting Greater Battle Mind.
  • Greater Battle Mind (Brutal Backlash replacer): -7 Will, +10 Deflection and adds a "Battle Backlash" attack which has 15% chance of happening when hit/critically hit, pushes the attacker back 3m and randomly stun, terrifies or paralyzes them for 10 sec. As for soul whips updates, greater battle mind replaces the basic battle mind.
  • Replaced the level 5 ability "Tough" (that gave +2HP per level, retroactively) by the level 4 "Guardian of Ixamitl" (that gives +3 HP per level, retroactively).
