📋 About This Mod
ELRnvsLGrU4
the AI only takes effect when you are in battle, so you don't have to worry about it taking over your game.
the spell to Enable/disable AI also doesn't cost anything, so you can change AI roles or disable them mid-battle anytime you want. it also works on animal/summon and friendly NPC, too (just don't forget to disable it if used on NPCs after the battle ends.) (NEW!) if you use it on NPCs, it will only last for 10 turns, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to disable it and breaking the game as much as before.
the 10 AI that come with this mod are:
Attacker(Melee) for Fighter/Babarian/Monk
Controller(Melee) for Warlock/Paladin
Supporter(Melee) for Cleric/Paladin
Attacker(Ranged) for Ranger/Wizard/Sorcerer
Controller(Ranged for Bard/Wizard/Sorcerer
Supporter(Ranged) for Bard/Druid
Attacker(Hybrid) for Rogue/Warlock/Sorcerer
Controller(Hybrid) for Warlock/Sorcerer/Bard
Supporter(Hybrid) for Druid/Bard
(NEW!) Just Stay Alive! for delicate healer or important NPC that you want to keep alive
