Advanced Elemental & Status Skills (DE)

This is my very first mod of any kind and also still a WIP. I am still learning things about the editor and modding in general. Please remember that when downloading this mod. Some of these skills may have balancing issues as well as I have not fully tested all of them in gameplay.

This mod adds a total of 36 (and expanding) new skills that add to the elemental & status effect aspect of the game. There are skills here for pretty much any magic/elemental build you are looking to make. All skills can be purchased from Sieg Wahrhiet in Fort Joy on the stairs at the start, in town on the right of where you first enter, in the Driftwood town center where all of the merchants are, towards the rear of the Lady Vengeance in front of the captain’s wheel, and right at the start of Arx. You can’t miss him, he has big bulky red armor and white hair.

These are meant to mainly be mid – late game skills and to try and balance them a bit, this mod requires a bit of work to obtain the skills. Some of them have pretty hefty requirements. Check in-game for yourself 😉
