Wights now gain a slight bonus to die_at, the same thing that heroism and blurred mortality cause.

The bonus for High Wights is larger than the bonus for Forest Wights, but in neither case is it a true replacement for heroism or blurred mortality.

This add-on allows me to edit the tags rather than remove them entirely and retyping, then? I'm working on a character and won't be starting a new game yet, but if I'm correct about the function of this add-on, I'm very happy. That particular mechanic has annoyed me endlessly. Zizzo has an add-on that allows adding notes that can be edited, but those don't protect the item, so I also do the tags if I want to make sure nothing happens.

- Added Forest Wights, undead in tune with nature. They make solid spellcasters.
- Made the High Wight and Forest Wight talents no refund, to prevent undesirable activity.
- Tweaked Quietus a bit; it now starts with a slightly smaller radius but upgrades to a slightly larger radius in the end.

My daughter played a High Wight Solipsist and found an exploit:
You get 0.7 to the feedback tree when mastering the race talent
However you can remove a talent point, reinvest it, 0.7 more, take away, reinvest 0.7 more...

A fast solution would be to make the race points permanent, a not so fast one to fix it.

Thanks in advance Chattius

Quietus now removes 1 detrimental status effect when you use it.

This adds a bit of tactical nuance to its use: do you want to throw it out at the start of combat, or wait 1 round and see if you can clear an early debuff and get more enemies in range? On the other hand, if you wait you'll probably take damage and have multiple debuffs and this can only clear one. As an undead, you rely on Shatter Afflictions to purge multiple debuffs, but you most likely only have one of those.

The cooldown and cost (which are significant, to deter spamming) remain unchanged.

Thank you, guys! I'm gonna try taking some time to experiment on something, then. I have messed with LUA before, and I work on programming so I think the wall for me is mostly getting to understand the syntax needed for the addons to work, which just requires time. xD Love the talk!

Thanks!

Not sure if that was addressed to me or the OP or both, but I do actually have one mod: the Playable Wight Race mod, made because I didn't really feel like skeletons or ghouls truly had "tank" mechanics. (I have written about the design philosophy in greater length at my profile on the wiki.)

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll check out your work!

This upgrade was actually put in pre-0.0.5 but a typo was discovered preventing it from working properly.

It should now display a clear visual effect when Quietus (racial talent in the High Wight racial tree) is used.

Since it does not burn arcane resources and cannot be placed at will, Quietus is substantially less powerful than anti-magic, but inflicting silence + the possibility of one cross-tier effect can still be situationally useful.

Enjoy!

As darkgobbo said, adding enemies, maps, items, and even campaigns is possible. Even adding new abilities and classes is not terribly difficult (learning Lua is probably most of the work) as the support for add-ons is great.

Welcome!

You can add all of those things with addons. Even new campaigns!

- Wights now start unlocked by default.
- High Wights begin with the following resistances: -5% fire, -5% blight, 10% nature, 10% light, 20% physical.
- High Wights still have only a racial bonus to Luck and Willpower and a 30% exp penalty.
- Upgrading the High Wight racial skill now properly gives the correct amount of hp, regen, and physical save for the Con gain. This has been tested over a range of values and conditions.
- Taking Quietus and Will of Eyal to level 5 will now give silence and stun immunity respectively.
- Because the engine is not built to handle tracking what your immunity was before, points in these talents may no longer be reverted. (It could be written to revert to base Wight immunity but this is undesirable because a. equipment modifiers would then be ignored, and b. when the Wight subraces come out, they will likely have different resistances.)

- The High Wight racial skill now unlocks Feedback, not Absorption.
- Mastering Elemental Body still unlocks Augmented Mobility.
- Taken together, the intent is that you have one resource track for your racial mobility and a separate one for your racial psionic damage mitigation, and potentially separate resources for your class abilities.
- This reduces reliance on Willpower to have a big enough Psi pool to do everything you want, which reduces Multiple Ability Dependence, which was the original intent of the race as stated in the design docs.
