📋 About This Mod
VERSION 1. 1
In this update, I have fixed a nasty bug with Disorient effect, and have fixed the Urn of Sacred Ashes Overseer encounter by adjusting the new to work only for the party. Additionally, and will now bypass penalties to allow blood mages a more sustained playstyle. Two-Handed tanking has been buffed with , as it was significantly more squishy than W&S. A few minor adjustments were made to several other abilities.
MOD DESCRIPTION
This mod overhauls the majority of spells and talents, as well as some other things, in order to improve combat and unlock many new ways to build and play characters. It’s simply impossible for me fit every single change that has been made in the description (those you can find in the PDF I’ve uploaded), so I will point out some of the key features:

]Crossbow archery is now a thing[]Warriors can be decent archers

[]Talent trees now allow you to take multiple approaches based on attributes, diversifying your build order and itemization. This makes it possible to have several builds that feel different
[]Some abilities which were deemed repetitive, boring or useless, have been swapped with completely new ones
[]~130 abilities from Origins and Awakening have had from minor tweaks to complete remakes
[]The mod doesn't discriminate in its balancing, there are nerfs as well as buffs
[]Changes also apply to enemies who use these abilities, creating interesting encounters
[]Various difficulty adjustments to make up for the power gain
[]All abilities have been purged of bugs, as well as some item, combat and stat bugs
[]In-game tooltips and effect statuses have been updated so you can play and discover, without the need of documentation (which is available for those who want it) (English only)
The following is a very small list of some of the changes, to give you a quick idea of what the mod truly does:PREVIEW
[] used to impose attack, defense and movement penalties. Now it strips the target from sustained spells/talents and prevents it from casting any abilities for 10 seconds.
[] was a passive which allowed auto-attacks to impose armor penalties to the target, which was redundant due to the branch's already present [Su
