Butcher’s Circus skills for SP
All hero abilities were compared and adjusted to the official DLC, I’ve even put some extra attention to description formatting
Obviously, a lot of abilities couldn’t be the same as in Butcher’s Circus, so I had to make up some rules:
- amount of stress healed by abilites was not changed (exceptions: Abomination stress dealt/healed reduced by 50%)
- if ability traded it’s debuff for deathblow/stress dealt, old debuff remains (for example, GR Lunge traded +dmg vs. blighted for death blow chance, so old effect is staying)
- vs. class specific bonuses not removed (like vs. Bests vs. Undead etc.)
- self marking on abilities not removed
- speed buffs/debuffs not removed
- increase to light level not removed
- ability accuracy/debuff chance/dot damage not changed
- 3 abilities were not changed at all as I believe they would become useless in SP (GR Poison Darts, Jester Mortal Wound and BH caltrops [2 bleed/25 turns lul])
- Antiquarian can’t be given Healing over time on Rejuvenating Vapours because all of her class trinkets buff raw healing done. This ability stays with it’s default healing numbers (but now it heals entire party)
- all stuns removed in DLC (barbaric YAWP, Disorienting Blast, Blinding Gas etc.) I mercifully left intact
- Stygian Embrace not added for Occultist (you trade stun for invisibility… it’s either not worth it or totally OP) If you really want it I suggest mod made by Chogex
FAQ:
Q: I want to know all the changes you made to abilities!
A: Please visit Butcher’s Circus page on the DD wiki for reference, I can’t really list all the abilities with it’s new effects.Q: Daze where?
A: Daze exists and can be used in single player, but due to different mechanics it has no effect. It would be fine to use it even as flavour effect, but I found out if Daze is used on stunned target, it soft-locks the game and reload is required. Unless Devs make it usable in single player, I’d rather not have it.Q: Is the game easier now?
A: Only slightly, you have pretty much the same damage capabilities but A LOT more utility.Q: What are the most impactful changes this mod has on SP classes?
A: Crusader and Musketeer are now legit solo healers, some skills can now remove debuffs and horror, Antiquarian is much better support hero (and second AOE healer in the game) and Abomination Vomit-riposte is an absolute joy to witness 🙂Q: I found missing text/ broken ability/ stupid decision.
A: Everything was hand-made, Please let me know so I can look into it.Q: I feel like balance is off because you added pretty much only positive changes.
A: I might create hardcore version (with character stats from circus, damage, effects etc.).Huge thanks to members of Moonlit Dungeon Discord for answering my (usually trivial) questions 😉
