📋 About This Mod

Rebalances the “Numbskull” Hardcore perk to reduce XP gain by 60% or 80%. Choose your level of pain and enjoy an even more punishing RPG experience in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.

This mod reworks the Hardcore perk "Numbskull", which normally reduces XP gain by 40%.

Numbskull Rebalance offers two new, more punishing versions:

  • []Version 1 – Moderate: XP gain reduced by 60%

    []Version 2 – Brutal: XP gain reduced by 80%

Ideal for players who want an even tougher and slower-paced hardcore RPG experience. Levelling takes more time, making skill progression feel earned and resource management more critical.


  • []Two new versions of the Numbskull perk (60% and 80% XP reduction)

    []English and German support

    []No changes outside the perk – high compatibility with other mods
