Bestiary - Aggressive Enemies and Variants

FxppPfgfe7o qcvNsB34fjI

General Changes

• []Overhauls a number of enemy movesets to increase aggression and variety of attacks while keeping close to the base DD design. All bosses are covered, as well as some small enemies.[/]

  []Some moves depend on the creature's state, either when they're angry or low hp, allowing a more dynamic battle as you wear them down.[/]

  []Certain "super attacks" are intentionally uninterruptible when appropriate, with clear telegraph to signal a state change, so keep an eye/ear out, learn and adapt.[/]

  []Garm and Skeleton Lord are now considered mini bosses and have a boss health bar.[/]

• []New enemies with their own moveset, abilities, strengths, weaknesses and colors. There are over 30 of them.[/]

  []Some of them are inspired by previous games in the series, while some are original.[/]

  []Some variants spawn in specific places, while others are randomly distributed. Note that it's possible to face some endgame variants very early, so don't be afraid to flee if an enemy is too powerful.[/]

  []Resetting scripts, resting at camps or reloading the enemies in any way will re-roll the variants. This is intended. However, there's an option in the config script to set a fixed seed for the randomization, which will make it so the same enemy will always be the same variant.[/]

  []Do note that the game still treats variants as the original enemies, so pawns will call out the original enemy's weaknesses and use the wrong name, and killing them counts towards the badges of the original enemy. There's nothing that can be done about this.[/]

  []If using Durnehviir, the new variants will appear in some monster culling requests.[/]

• []Much like Skill Maker, Bestiary supports other mods adding movesets and variants to its systems.[/]

  []To get an example on how to do that, check out Apex - Bestiary Add On.[/]

  []Make sure your main expansion file is called Bestiary_Name. For example, "Bestiary_Nick's Expansion".[/]

[]Silencing a boss enemy while it's attacking will now always stagger, even if it's not a spellcasting attack, but the effect will no longer stick as a condition.[/]

[]Behavior is unchanged from vanilla against non-boss enemies.[/]

[*]Pawns still use it reliably, sometimes even more to keep stagg
