Slower leveling and vocation growth.

That mod is for those of us who typically explore every nook and cranny, take on every quest, and otherwise take their time with the games they like. Or for those who seeks the additional  challenge but thinks that hard mode in DD sucks. That mod will keep our fights challenging and interesting for more time than vanilla game.

First — a huge thanks to SnowyOmen for his leveling mod, and for cool tutorial on creating similar mods.

Secondly, there are two versions of mod, one x3 more xp, x2 more dcp to level up/vocation level up, second — x4 more xp and x3 more dcp. There is also a bugfix version for vanilla leveling rate, that not touches anything else (see the postscript link for details). Safe for online. I started a new game with the mod, reached level 16 for now. My pawn has been hired multiple times, so she's not corrupted. I checked up on pawns of her employers, and they are gaining levels, so that will also not corrupt other people game.

Of course there are still some consequences. First — you almost always will have enough dcp to unlock every available skill, diminishing the choice of what to unlock first, etc. Second — your pawn will probably have better gear, stats, and knowledge than a typical pawn of your level. That is unfair to other players.

On a first point — I hope someone will find a way to mod incoming dcp value, not dcp required for next level, that should remedy that problem. On a second — yes that is not fair play, I am very sorry for this, but I still choose this over being overpowered and losing interest to play DD at all.

ps — for those who interested in a bit of a side knowledge, I think there is a typo in leveling tables, which makes vanilla players levels up faster than intended from level 51 to level 101. I added a bugfix version, that only fixes this typo, and nothing else, as an optional download. More info can be found in that post on steam.

Update 01:

+ Added two more settings, tailored with hard mode-enthusiasts in mind: x6 xp x4 voc for those who play with pawns, and x12 xp x6 voc for solo hard mode players.

+ Re-structured "just modded files" so it shows full directory path now, you will know exactly where to put files.
