📋 About This Mod
PCVR | Nomad
Designed for full integration with the current skill trees, the mod ensures that each cross-tree includes at least one skill per tier. Some follow the thematic spirit of vanilla cross-skills, like Body and Lightning, while others embrace the mod’s core Arcane RPG theme. Although balance was considered, the primary focus has always been—and will continue to be—power and spectacle.
