Greater Runes

GET THE UPDATED 1. 16. 2 VERSION HERE

I tried coming up with something more interesting for each Rune that would really make a difference to gameplay, while also feeling connected to the lore/abilities/role of the boss it belongs to. Each Great Rune now gives to you a set of new passive abilities or quirks, some have negative effects (-) to counter the positive ones (+), others don't. All vanilla effects are still there unchanged, unless mentioned in the description.

I tried to avoid boring numeric stats changes and go for altering game mechanics wherever I could. No Rune should in theory be too overpowered, but in reality the effects are just what I thought would be cool without too much regard for balance.

This is still a work in progress and I might add/change/remove effects from time to time. If you have any ideas how to make this mod better, please do leave a comment!!

Let's be real, I'm way too lazy to edit this at this point but there are dozens of GR overhauls come out since then so you'll find something for sure

GODRICK'S GREAT RUNE

Godrick the Grafted doesn't have any qualities of his own, but he's trying to make the strenght of other beings his own by grafting parts of them onto himself. The Tarnished gets stronger by gathering Runes (experience) from other beings and using them to level up, and this Great Rune helps them do that faster.

This rune is the "best" (but still boring) of vanilla runes so it saw the least number of changes. Being the starter rune I gave it the most basic but useful effect early in a playthrough.

+ "Covetous of Golden Strength":  All enemies in all areas drop 2 times their normal amount of runes.

RADAHN'S GREAT RUNE

Starscourge Radahn is a master of gravity magic and he uses it to make his huge body super light to not crush his trusty steed, Leonard. A warrior with an unwavering iron will, even with his sanity consumed by Rot he keeps using the majority of his magic power to somehow hold large amounts of stars in place.

His Great Runes conveys to you his control over gravity, him being a master Archer and Horseman, but locks away some of your magic capabilities. Great for any heavy weapon/armor builds and archers.

+ "Gravitational Anchoring" :  No attack can ever knock you down or send you flying. Enemies striking you with little force will recoil. You resist the pull of gravity magic.

+ "Denial of Inertia" :  You get a huge maximum equip load, always light roll no matter how much you wear.

+ "Featherlight Armory" :  Stamina cost for attacking with a weapon and guarding with a shield or weapon is reduced by 50%.

+ "Voidwalker" :  You never take fall damage
