📋 About This Mod

A compilation gathering 3/4 mods aimed at turning Legate Lanius into a true final boss and worthy of the title "Monster of the East."

In the base game, Legate is relatively weak. With good equipment and a skilled team, defeating him becomes easy and quick. This mod aims to significantly boost his power.

List of modifications:

- All these SPECIAL attributes are now set to 10.

- His sword is more powerful.

- He is now at the same level as you.

- His armor has 22 DT (damage reduction value), compared to 15 in the vanilla version.

- The DT of his helmet has been increased to 5, compared to 4 in the vanilla version.

- His armor is now lootable, meaning it can be used by the player.

- He has highly effective healing powder, providing him with 17 health points per second for 27 seconds.

New ability:

- Finesse (+5% critical chance)

- Bloody Mess (+5% damage, gore effect also active)

- Ruthless (+25 melee damage)

- Resistance (+10% damage resistance)

+10 additional DT (cumulative with his armor, for a total of 29 DT)

Lanius is now immune to knockdowns, similar to Ulysses and Caesar (yes, in the vanilla game, Caesar is immune to knockdowns, unlike Lanius). This means advantages like Super Slam! or Stay Back are now entirely ineffective against him.

Une compilation regroupant 3/4 mods visant à faire du Légat Lanius un véritable boss final et digne du titre "Monstre de l'Est".

Dans le jeu de base, le Légat est peu puissant. Avec un bon équipement et une bonne équipe, le vaincre devient facile et rapide. Ce mod a pour objectif de décupler sa puissance de manière significative.

Liste des modifications :

- Tous ces attributs SPECIAL sont désormais à 10.

- Son épée est plus puissante.

- Il est maintenant au même niveau que vous.

- Son armure à 22 de DT (quantité de dégâts réduits par l'armure), contre 15 dans la version vanilla.

- La DT de son casque a été portée à 5, comparé à 4 dans la version vanilla.

- Son armure est désormais pillable, ce qui signifie qu'elle peut être utilisée par le joueur.

- Il dispose d'une poudre de guérison extrêmement efficace, elle lui rend 17 points de vie par seconde pendant 27 secondes.

- Nouvelle aptitude :

Finesse (+5% de chance critique)

Dégât sanglant (+5% de dégâts, l’effet gore fonctionne également)

Impitoyable (+25 dégâts de mêlée)Résistance (+10% de résistance aux dégâts)

+10 DT supplémentaires (cumulés avec son armure, pour un total
