📋 About This Mod

Reworks the default gambit options to allow for a wider variety of gambit setups-a variant that allows for the automation of measure buffs, Gravity magick, prioritization of certain traits over others when attacking, nonconsecutive

Modified Gambits to have the following capabilities, in addition to the originals:

Safety Detection: Allows for the automation of Gravity Magicks, Death, Doom, Poach, Warp, Bonecrusher, Sight Unseeing and other fractional-damage sources.  You can prevent these from being cast on anything immune to them.

Flying/Not Flying:  Flying existed prior, Not flying allows you to prioritize enemies you can reach over ones you can't, if playing a character without a ranged attack

Undead/Not Undead:  Undead existed prior, Not undead allows you to prioritize another action over something that would be ineffective on them (drain, for example)

Hunt/Boss & Not Hunt/Boss: Both added, allows you to build a set of actions that only apply to one or the other

Casting Magick:  Similar to what Elementals can do to you, this allows you to silence or addle enemies that try to cast spells on you

Nonconsecutive: Currently only applies to the above three, allows you to chain actions that are both applicable to the target, ABABAB, where normal gambits would always trigger AAAAAA and never get to B

For example, a setup

Foe: is hunt/boss, nonconsecutive; Wither

Foe: any; Attack

will have the character attacking every enemy until they come across a boss, at which point they will wither the boss, then attack, then wither, then attack, etc.

w/o users status ailment: Stamp

Reworded -vulnerable gambits to what they actually are: Not -absorbent

Added a set of combination -weakness and foe quantity gambits, to prioritize AOE spells when they'll be most effective

Added a set of -absorbent gambits-to prioritize another action over, say, attacking an undead with a darkblade

Added set of with []-immunity gambits, so when an enemy puts up a paling, you can start casting magick rather than whaling at a brick wall

Added a set of "missing status" gambits.  Originally intended for nihopalaoa, but didn't work out that way.  still useful to de-prioritize attacking enemies with conditions like petrify

Added a set of gambits for healing allies with holy/dark absorption and Reverse

Added a few gambits that specifically apply to the multi-status enemy abilities (Bad Breath, Putrid Breath, Cloying Breath, Blaster, Hell Blaster, Mythril Bubbles, Curse) so you can save remedies for instances where multiple negative statuses are active at once.

Added a set of gambits for measures and Rod of Faith

Added a set of gambits to allow for more efficient MP usage, restricting the casting of certain spells once your MP is too low, and to allow for more efficient Revive use- only casting it when your HP is low

Self-status gambits

Highest+Lowest stat gambits

Most Foe: Status gambits

Most Ally: Status gambits

Edits 8/15/26:

Replaced Foe: Furthest and Foe: Nearest with Foe: Lowest Def+ Foe: Lowest MDef

Changed Foe: character HP < 70% to Foe: character HP < 100% for drain setups

Added a foe:Undead, no safety mod for Phoenix Downing

Added Foe:Status = Reverse for certain gambit setups

Added Ally:Status = Disable, Sleep, Immobilize, Reflect, Disease

Removed the partially implemented Esunaga gambit-it never did what I wanted anyways

Removed Ally:Status = Blind, Bravery, Faith, Reverse

Removed  Foe: 5+ foes present

Related Mod Recommendations:

Xeavin's The Insurgent's Manifesto-specifically the option that allows you to utilize all three gambit pages at the same time, for a total of 36 gambit slots.  will need to change the config file to activate this, it isn't on by default

Xeavin's Smart Stealing Gambits-Steal gambits should stop after any item has been stolen.

I based my cuts off of my personal experiences with the gambit system, referencing several overhaul mods to make sure I wasn't breaking anything in them.

If there is some gambit combination you would like to see either added back in or added in place of one of these, let me know in the Posts.  Will check occasionally.
