📋 About This Mod

Turns all 'Per Rest' abilities granted by equipment into 'Per Encounter'. (doesn't change item description) It's for 3.9.3.88783. 3.9.4 compatible, but read description.

Notice for 3. 9. 4:

Thankfully several reports stated that it is compatible.

At least it doesn't cause any crashes.

That being said some functionality, or game calculations might be off.

GOG offline patcher encountered some non-game breaking issues so take it into account.

I'll be investigating.


Goals?:

It's simply for fun.

It's not balanced at all though.

This edit allows to form entire builds around the use of certain Items since their abilities become a reliable source of extra ability.

Main features

As in short description all equipped items granting any 'per rest' ability now give 'per encounter' one.

Item descriptions ARE NOT edited. It means right clicking on item will still display 'per rest' in item description even though it states (and works as) 'per encounter' in combat UI.

Fix would require editing item assets which make it largely incompatible with any existing or future mods. So current version is the least intrusive it can get (unless someone makes a proper dll for UMM).


Installation

I provided backup files in Miscellaneous section, though I always recommend to make some of your own. 

Unpack into:

\PillarsOfEternity_data\assetbundles\prefabs\objectbundle

Replace original files.

Requirements

White March part 1 and 2.

Game version 3. 9. 3. 88783

3. 9. 4 seems compatible but read notice on top of description.

Compatibility

Works with all languages.

It works fully with my other edits: Big Tweak and Per Encounter Arcane Veil, as those replace different set of files.

It should work flawlessly with any Unity Mod Manager based mod as those work on a different layer. For example:

- Multiclass works.

- Early Spell Mastery works.

...

On the other hand any mod which replaces the same files as this one will likely have issues.

Mid-Playthrough Install

Works fully.
