Elite Few - Master Bros (Updated)

This is a rewrite of the old The Elite Few - Master Bros, aimed at better compatibility with other mods and newer DLCs. Plus some fixes.

Master bros have:

• []max rolls in all attributes, i.e. Sellsword will always have 67 melee skill and 13 melee defense, etc.

  []an extra talent - 4 instead of 3 (unless other mods change this)

  []10-50-40 % probabilities for 1-2-3 star(s) in all talents, up from 60-30-10%

  []no bad traits, like drunkard or clumsy, this indirectly makes good ones more frequent

  []+5 initiative from a special "Master" trait

  []+9 extra daily wage

  By default the rate at which a brother is a master is

  1 in max(30, 100 - 2 baseWage - ).

  This means a Hedge Knight and Hunter will have a 1 in 30 chance to be a master, Witchhunter - 1 in 54, and a cripple a 1 in 94. By default indebted cannot be masters.

  Each master bro's worth is 25-50% higher when calculating party strength, which affects enemy scaling, sending larger groups of enemies at you. The exact formula is

  min(50, baseWage / 2 + 25)

  Note that only the first 12 highest level bros (14 for militia and manhunters origins) are taken into account when calculating the party strength, so a newly hired low level master bro might not contribute.

  Configuration

  It is possible to configure chance multplier and other stuff via MSU's Mod Options: Esc -> Mod Options -> Elite Few - Master Bros. Consult field tooltips there for more info.

  Compatibility

  Safe to add midgame, can't remove once you have these masters anywhere including city hiring rosters. Set "Select masters" to "none" in Mod Options instead.

  • []compatible with mods like Bro Studio, Ultra Bros, Weighted Talents, Starting Perks by Background and such

    []should work with any mods changing bro generation by applying its changes on top

    []works with Reforged

    []works with Legends

    []works with Accessory Companions (AC) mods

    Changes from the Original Mod

    • []added a set of dubious traits, Drunkard is moved there

      []allow Bloodthirsty for masters

      []added 1 in 30 limit for very high cost backgrounds, multiplier applies on top

      []capped stregth update at 50%

      []a custom icon

      []an option to make all event/contract bros masters

      Compatibility, apart from listed above:

      • []autodetect ranged origins

        []fixed some newer DLC changes overwritten by the original mod

        []overall better other mods and future compatibility

        Math fixes:

        []made talent chan
