📋 About This Mod
If installing mid playthrough switch to Explorer/Balanced, save, and then install.
Same goes for Updating.
Another update is coming at the start of new year, with more options. One of them : Bosses will apply strong effects on themselves when combat starts (like Haste, Bless, Shield of Faith, etc).
Main FileBoss
-
[]Damage taken is reduced by half (stacks with phys/mag resistances)
[
]Damage roll advantage (same as Savage Attacker but for every kind of damage)[]Unmovable (immune to prone condition and cannot be moved)
[]Alert
[]Extra Attack
[]Legendary Resistance (those who had Crowd Control version of it, got it replaced)
Mini Boss
-
[]Damage taken is reduced by half (stacks with phys/mag resistances)
[
]Alert[]Extra Attack
[]Legendary Resistance: Crowd Control
Addons-
[]First addon gives Unbreakable passive to bosses (immunities to stun, paralysis, domination, confusion, charm and magical sleep)
[
]Second addon gives Enhanced Protection passive to bosses (advantage on saving throws against harmful abilities. It includes pretty much everything : weapon/class abilities, spells, thrown stuff)[]Third addon gives Resistance to all damage to (mini)bosses (you may not want this because they already take half damage)
[]Final addon grants 99 charges of Legendary Resistance and Legendary Resistance: Crowd Control to (mini)bosses instead of 3 by default
You can use all of them at once, or none of them.
I chose advantage + 99 charges combo for myself.
By the way, if Cazador ascends during combat, he upgrates his LR to 99 charges anyway, so i changed value from +10 to +20 just for that singular encounter. Does not really matter, because you wont let him ascend anyway, right?!
Some bosses had Perfect Sentry passive which is a weaker version of Alert. I replaced it with Alert.
