📋 About This Mod

There's numerous resistance values in the game that can be a head-scratcher. For example, despite pawns calling out that undead are weak to holy, they actually don't take higher damage from it (even if Anodyne hurts them).

This causes situations where you have the supposedly right element (Heaven's Key - holy) against an enemy (phantom), and yet you deal more damage with another weapon (Frosted Edges - ice). In some cases, like a griffin, you'll deal significantly more damage to its head not with fire damage, its main weakness, but with holy or non-elemental magick!

In light of these inconsistencies, and with the help of Nickesponja, ERO aims to address what's mentioned above, but also a few things beyond that for fun.

Damage & Stagger

  • []Many enemy resistances are now adjusted to reflect pawn knowledge and callouts[/]

    []Big tweaks to night creatures & dark beasts to be weak to holy[/]

    []Some tweaks to make some monsters's main weakness consistent, while others are done for balance, DD:DA references or with creative liberties[/]

    []Certain enemies are extremely resistant, occasionally immune to one element, but exploiting their weakness is more rewarding[/]

    []Ridiculously squishy foes like goreminotaur and the dragon (who's weaker than a drake) are significantly buffed by increasing their native resistances[/]

    []Note that even with resistances, they can still take damage from the debilitation - a hobgoblin may still panic and take decent damage from "Caught Fire."[/]

Debilitations

  • []A number of enemies have a resistance buff to status effects such as Caught Fire and Frostbite, meaning it takes more time\hit for them to be debilitated by them[/]

    []Some are outright immune to certain effects, and in rare cases, they're more susceptible to them[/]

    []Many of these buffs will reflect their natural resistances, while some are echoing their DD1 counterpart, but others are added with creative liberty[/]

    []Skills that guarantees debilitation, such as Blighting\Nocuous Shot, will bypass resistances[/]

    []Debilitations caused by a catalyst, such as Ice-bound & Torched, will still bypass resistances, so you're rewarded for using specialized arrows and\or the environment[/]

Debilitation Damage

[]Fire & poison damage over time (DoT) are adjusted for a few enemies[/]

[*]Most of these are small to big buffs, so they don't take as mu
