Description:
This mod requires Norbyte’s Script Extender[github.com] and OdinCore – Mod Services to use.

Cunning, deceptive, and visceral; an expert Scoundrel always gets their mark. This mod overhauls all existing Scoundrel skills, as well as adding plenty of new ones into the mix, to deliver a truly devastating Scoundrel skill tree.

"Never play fair…"

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy this mod!


As stated above, this overhaul requires Norbyte’s Script Extender[github.com] as well as OdinCore – Mod Services to use.

What is the Script Extender and why do I need it?

Norbyte’s Script Extender is similar to how the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) works; it provides access to a lot of lower-level code for modders. As such, I’ve been able to create lots of new script-heavy mechanics for this mod.

Another excellent feature that the Script Extender provides is a HUGE improvement to load times when playing with lots of mods, cutting 10-minute load screens down by ~90%. Even if you aren’t planning on using this overhaul, I’d recommend grabbing the extender for that feature alone!

How do I install it?

Check out my installation guide here. Alternatively, if you are using LaughingLeader’s excellent Mod Manager[github.com], you can simply click the "Tools" option at the top of the window, and then click "Download & Install Osiris Extender". Easy peasy!


Version 1.0.5 (Read the Patch Notes here!)

Core Mechanics

Scoundrels are well-known for having a few tricks up their sleeve. The toolset provided by this overhaul will give you a plethora of tools to design and decimate with your own playstyle. Here are a couple of the core mechanics this overhaul leverages:

  • Combo
    • Generate Combo by hitting your Scoundrel attacks, stacking up to 3 times.
    • At Combo 3, you can activate the Deadly Flourish skill to expend your points and empower your next Scoundrel skill.
    • At Scoundrel 5+ you enter combat with Combo 1. At Scoundrel 10+ you instead enter combat with Combo 2.
  • Stealth Damage Multipliers
    • Some of the more visceral Scoundrel skills benefit from Stealth Damage Multipliers, increasing their damage if you are either Invisible or Sneaking.
    • Demonstrate your superiority and outplay your foes from the shadows.

Skills

The new skills and mechanics introduced in this overhaul are designed to feel unique and engaging. The AI utilises a large number of the new skills but does not utilise the Combo mechanic.

As a comprehensive overhaul, this mod also reworks a lot of the base game Scoundrel spells, and I have compiled these changes into a doc:


Lina the Deft is a tricksy thief, and she is able to sell the party skillbooks (which she has rather questionably obtained). Lina may be found throughout the game in various locations:

  • Fort Joy:
    • Opposite the campfire west of the Fort’s initial entrance.
    • On a small shore, behind the tent next to the altar in Armadia’s Sanctuary.
  • Reaper’s Coast:
    • Aboard the Lady Vengeance. She is in the crow’s nest near the head of the ship.
    • Atop the gate at the entrance to Driftwood Square.
  • Nameless Isle: On the landing shore as you arrive.
  • Arx: In the West section of the market square, behind the Dwarven blacksmiths and next to a stone bench.

Basegame Scoundrel vendors also stock the new skills, and the new vendors can be toggled on/off whenever you like using the Odinomicon mod settings menu from OdinCore.
