Leechcraft

This mod started with a simple idea: nerf bandages for my Veteran Hardcore overhaul. While digging through the game records, I noticed the bandage ointment had an efficiency parameter. Instead of just lowering it across the board, I thought — why not make it dynamic?

That led to tying efficiency directly to Scholarship, so bandaging begins clumsy and wasteful in the early game, but gradually improves as Henry studies and learns. In the end, it’s not just a nerf or a buff — it’s progression grounded in medieval knowledge.
