Soul Level Zero Mod

Introduction

I love SL1 runs and wanted to try modding, so here you go. This mod pushes SL1 challenge even further.

Any kind of feedback is welcome.

What this mod does

This mod allows you to make a character with all stats equal to 0 (aka SL0).

At 0 Vitality and 0 Endurance you will have a character with 400 HP, 80 stamina, 40 equip load. For comparison, the standard SL1 char (Pyromancer) has 573 HP, 93 stamina, 51 equip load and 73 def.

Optionally you can set HP to 1 to make it even harder.

Since no unmodified weapons can be used with such a characters, the weapons must be modified too. You can pick one of the modifications:

1. Set stat requirements for weapon to 0 as well. In that way you can do SL0 playthrough. (And no, picking something like drake sword will not make it easier than a standard SL1 run due to no stat bonuses and low stamina bar).

This option also removes all stats requirements for spells, but you will need to level up attunement to equip them.

2. Start with the broken sword and level up to use other weapons, which will have the standard requirements.
