[Skill] Atheist Monk

I updated it a bit, I nerfed Nonbeliever and Athe-est to be a little less gamebreaking with Necronomiconomics (hopefully) and made it so Sagan Power is the final skill instead of Athe-est. I also lengthened the cooldown on Sagan Power.

 

According to the latest patch, mod stat boosts work as intended now.

 

Ach, so they do. Updated again to fix this.

 

You can double-check; if it doesn't work, just revert.

 

A few suggestions:

*I'd recommend changing the first skill to "Common sense", which would provide a passive +2 trap sight bonus, since that is SORELY needed for mages. Traps constitute 90% of my mages' deaths.

*Disprove existence doesn't scale in terms of magic cost or damage, this should be changed.

*Minor thing, but maybe change the atheist clergymen robe's description to say "O Father, behold these cats"? (bonus points if you get the reference)

 

I'll consider adding a skill like that, but I dunno if I'd call it "Common Sense", it needs to be funnier.

Also, Disprove Existence does scale with magic ability. (0.5 * magic power)

Unfortunately I don't get your reference. :C

 

Ah, well the cost doesn't scale with savvy by the looks of things.

As for the reference, it's the saying that organizing atheists is like trying to herd cats. So instead of sheep, it would be cats.

 

It seems that something in this mod conflicts with Interior Dredmorating, because when I run the two together and attempt to start a new game, this skill doesn't show up in the selection screen.

I know near nothing about modding, but I'd imagine that this is caused by some sort of file that both mods are using, is there any way that I could fix this?

 

if you're on a Mac, that's the problem. You'll just have to wait for the next patch; mod support on Macs is broken right now.

 

Yes, I am, in fact.

Oh well...

 

You can combine the files from both mods into one big mod and use that. It should work fine then, but you'll need to know what you're doing.

 

Hey, do you think you could make "his noodly appendages" and "Sagan Power" have MP costs rather than cooldown? And also, can you make the MP cost of "disprove existence" scale downward with savvy? The cost is alarmingly high for a dedicated wizard compared to the other spells I have.

 

Atheist Monk + Inquisitor = Christian that suddenly understood Logic = Dividing by Zero ;P
ps: Nazis riding Dinosaurs

 

My suggestion here would be to add a penalty to Magic Power as a balance, since you're an atheist you should have a stiff magic penalty.
