Accessory Companions (fixed by hackflow)

This mod stems from Accessory Companions by Vazl, with bug fixes, a richer taming formula and better compatibility.

How It Works

• []Any brother with an empty accessory slot gains a Tame Beast skill. The chance grows with the target's missing health, injuries, being rooted, stunned or taunted, and low morale, it also scales with the player's level. A failed attempt locks that beast out for the rest of the fight, and a tamed beast cannot be unleashed in the same battle it was caught in.[/]

  []Webknechts may also drop from eggs[/]

  []Beasts take wounds in battle and heal up on the world map over time. Their current health shows in the tooltip.[/]

  []Companions gain experience from kills (their own, a brother's or another companion's) without reducing the brothers' share, and don't need to be unleashed to do so. They learn faster if equipped by Houndmaster or Beastmaster.[/]

  []On level up they grow their preferred and two random attributes and pick a random quirk; at level 11 beasts get the Good Boy/Girl quirk that scales their base damage.[/]

  []Beasts can be re-leashed to remove them from the field, but only unleashed once per battle. "Super beasts" (unhold, schrat, lindwurm) only start acting the round after being unleashed.[/]

  []Equipped companions add to the party's strength, scaling with their level.[/]

  []number of companions of each type is limited: only one Lindwurm, Unhold and Schrat at a time, up to 6 wolves, 12 dogs and such.[/]

  Quirks

  On level up a companion may gain one quirk from a curated pool: combat perks (e.g. Colossus, Nine Lives, Adrenaline, Executioner, Dodge, Steel Brow, Backstabber, Relentless, Berserk, Nimble, Fearsome, Killing Frenzy, Indomitable, Devastating Strikes, Battering Ram), the traits Huge and Lucky, and special effects like Rage, Poisonous, Healthy, Soften Blows and Regenerative.

  Other Additions

  • []Beastmaster is a higher-tier Houndmaster variant, drafted in larger settlements (cities, citadels), experienced with all beasts and better at taming them. Smaller settlements still draft ordinary Houndmasters.[/]

    []Necromancers have a small chance (~3%) to drop a Tome of Reanimation. It gives a bro an ability to raise undead. Tome's raised undead also get experience and levels.[/]

    Compatibility

    Is safe to add midgame, cannot remove. Plays nice with:

    • []Reforged[/]

      []Autopilot New[/]

      []Proper Druid and More Backgrounds and Events (Updated) - druid have a higher taming chance[/]

      []North Expansion - a wolf pet becomes a companion[/]

      []More Love For Dogs[/]

    Should use a specialized version for Legends, i.e. not this.
