Why? Why? Why?
I know there's lots of other good Trophy mods here on Nexus.
But none of them fit my opinion on how they should work.
So I made my own rebalance.
* It's still WIP, but good enough to use in-game already.
Vampire trophies
Katakan, Ekimmmara and Garkain are very powerful enemies, especially when you play on Death March with auto-level turned on and maybe bunch of hardcore mods.
I know, cuz I've spent like 5-7 tries to kill Gael at Oxenfurt, even with black blood and proper oil.
So the trophies should actually worth hunting them down.
Katakan trophy
3% additional HP
10 HP regen
15% bleeding resistance
5% stamina regen
3% Adrenaline gain
Ekkima trophy
5% additional HP
15 HP regen
20% bleeding resistance
10% stamina regen
5% Adrenaline gain
Garkain trophy
10% additional HP
20 HP regen
25% bleeding resistance
15% stamina regen
10% Adrenaline gain
Trophies reflect creatures
One of the main goals of this rebalance mod, is to make trophies actually relate to their creatures in some way or another.
That's why vampires grant you HP and stamina related things, while Nekker Warrior grants the player with Attack Power + Crit. chance etc, and Arachas will grant poison resistance etc.
Arachas trophy
30% poison resistance
Nekker Warrior trophy
5% attack power
5% stamina regen
5% critical hit chance
Wraith trophy
10% Yrden spell power
5% elemental resistance
Nightwraith trophy
15% Yrden spell power
10% elemental resistance
Noonwraith trophy
20% Yrden spell power
15% elemental resistance
Cockatrice trophy
20% poison resistance
10% critical hit chance
Fogling trophy
20% Quen spell power
10% Igni spell power
Wyvern trophy
20% burning resista
