Magic Duel are Fun Now! (And Some Other Tweaks!)
I noticed that whenever a sim had to leave the magic realm, my spellcaster would automatically lose the duel. Every single time. So I tried manipulating duel weights to see if that would make a difference. It did not. But I still think the tweaks I made were fun, so I'm sharing them here. All of my adjustments affect both participants of the duel, so they're not one sided.
Duel Tweaks!
Master Duelist- This perk's effect is doubled. Originally it's weight multiplier is 2, so I made it 4. IT was strong before, and it's stronger now.
Magical Resonance- While in the magic realm, this perk multiplies the chance of success by 2.5. Apparently, this perk had no effect on duels before this. I always assumed it did... Oh well. Now it does. Arcane Ascendance- This is the moodlet granted from wearing charged moonstone jewelry. It now increases the chance of duel success with a modest... 1.75 multiplier. Duels are Fun Now!- Watching magic duels, and participating in magic duels, now increase fun! Except heated duels. heated duels are not fun. They are serious business.
Zer0's Deadly Duel Mod!
I also updated Zer0's old deadly duel's mod because it's what I use and i wanted everything to be consistent. All of my previous tweaks have been applied, (except fun,) as well as some other adjustments.
Requires XML Injector- This is the only requirement. You do not need Zer0's death interactions for this mod, just have XML injector.
Sages Aren't Special- Zero increased the chances for sages to win duels, making the, stronger than normal spellcasters. I understand the fantasy, but I like using sages as a barometer to see how far my sim has come. So I capped the power ceiling. Made it universal. Sages no longer have their own unique multiplier.
But The Bloodlines...- Zero's original mod gave ancient bloodline spellcasters a MASSIVE 20 multiplier for deadly duels, and honestly??? I kinda fucks with it. I left it in there, but I added weights for the other bloodline traits too. Strong bloodline gets a multiplier of 10. Weak bloodline gets a multiplier of 5. So when the stakes get existential, all the bloodlines weigh in to some degree. (Bloodline weights were not added to my other duel tweaks. the only time bloodlines matter for duels is when they're deadly.)That's all I got for now, so go!
Shoo!
