📋 About This Mod

🔄 Parry v2. 0 Changelog

  • []Old counterattack logic based on dodge and pre-rolled parryRoll, including Morale State modifiers (Fleeing / Wavering / Confident).

    []Static success rate and tooltip messages, including "despair state" warnings at low chance.

    []Simplified state retention and lack of attack-type distinction.

    []Incorrect perk tree description stating "successful parries prevent stun."

    []Tooltip that didn't reflect current chance or contributing factors.

    📐 Chance Calculation & Display

    • []Parry success rate now follows a standard model: 60% Melee Skill + 40% scaled by Fatigue, clamped between 5%–95%.

      []Tooltip dynamically shows real-time parry chances for both melee and ranged attacks.

      []Additional modifiers: +20% vs. Light Attacks (≤4 AP), -20% vs. Heavy Attacks (≥6 AP).

      💥 Effect & Counterattack Logic

      • []Successful parries trigger automatic counterattacks using AOO weapon skills.

        []With Sword Mastery, parries grant full immunity to incoming damage; otherwise, damage is halved.

        []Perk tree text updated to clarify: "Immune to being stunned while parrying."

      📊 Overwhelm & Penalties

      • []Each stack of Overwhelmed reduces parry chance by -10%, now clearly shown in tooltip.

        []Penalty for deflecting ranged attacks: -33% with Sword Mastery, -66% without.

      🧠 State Retention Logic

      • []With Sword Mastery, parrying Light or Ranged attacks retains the stance.

      🧾 Visual Feedback & Combat Log

      • Combat log now displays simulated parry checks:

        ➤ Current parry chance (%)

        ➤ Rolled value (1–100)

        ➤ Whether the parry succeeded or failed
