📋 About This Mod

Nerf the common skill bonus Adrenaline Point gain, Stamina regeneration, Potion duration and Bomb damage. For mod that permanently activate skill, add more slots skill or increase skill levels.

What's the purpose?

For those who don't know, all skills have a common bonus:

  • []Adrenaline Point gain (1%-3%) for Combat category (Red).[/]

    []Stamina Regeneration in combat (0. 5s-1. 5s) for Sign category (Blue).[/]

    []Potion duration time and Bomb damage gain (5%-15%) for Alchemy category (Green).[/]

They are fairly good in the vanilla Next Gen version.

But they become overpowered when using some skill mod, like (All) Perks Always Active; or Restore Original Skill; or Slots Slots Slots.

So this mod nerfs the common skill bonus. You have the choice here for the following:

- Vanilla Nerf

Adrenaline Point gain: 1%-3%

Stamina Regeneration: 0. 3s-0. 9s

Potion duration and Bomb damage gain: 3%-10%

For those who want the game less easy, or for mods that add fewer than 8 new slots.

- Constant Bonus

Adrenaline Point gain: 2% (no increase)

Stamina Regeneration: 1s (no increase)

Potion duration and Bomb damage gain: 10% (no increase)

For a mod that doubles the amount of slots (Slots Slots Slots Balanced version).

- Nerfed Constant Bonus

Adrenaline Point gain: 1% (no increase)

Stamina Regeneration: 0. 5s (no increase)

Potion duration and Bomb damage gain: 5% (no increase)

For mods that permanently activate skills (when unlocked) or add more than 16 new slots (Slots Slots Slots Casual/Ultimate version).

- Cap at level 3

Adrenaline Point gain: max 3%

Stamina Regeneration: max 1. 5s

Potion duration and Bomb damage gain: max 15%

For mods that increase skill levels beyond 3 or restore the classic 1. 32 skill.

Adrenaline Point gain: 0%

Stamina Regeneration: 0s

Potion duration and Bomb damage gain: 0%

For mods that permanently activate all skills (without unlocking) or for those who want a challenge!!
