New Mod: Kingdom of Loathing

Grumble Guy · Aug 7, 2016

An Adventurer is You!

This adds 6 skills, each associated with one of the basic classes in KoL! (kingdomofloathing.com)

I've wanted to do this for a long time now. Finally did it. Here it is. Please tell me everything I did right, but more importantly everything I did wrong. In particular anything related to game balance would be helpful, I tried not to go too far overboard but I could easily have missed the mark.

I'm just going to copy/paste the big thing I typed out for the steam workshop page. It has the basic description of the skills and corresponding abilities.

An Adventurer is You! Adds Kingdom of Loathing base classes as Dredmor Skills. Also Delicious Salad.

A labor of love. Art and most of the writing shamelessly stolen from the Kingdom of Loathing, which can be found at kingdomofloathing.com . Check it out!

Does not require any DLC to work!

-==THE SKILLS==-

SEAL CLUBBER: Pretty straightforward warrior skill. Is good at hitting things in melee, and has abilities that scale with their melee power.

-Audacity of the Otter: Passively increases melee power and crit.
-Thrust-Smack: Short cooldown ability that adds damage to a melee attack.
-Hide of the Walrus: Passively increases defensive stats.
-Ire of the Orca: High chance of giving a Berzerker Rage-esque buffs when you hit with attacks.
-Northern Exposure: Grants passive hyperborean and voltaic resistance.
-Precision of the Penguin: Passively increases hit and crit rates.
-Northern Explosion: Deals significant blasting and hyperborean damage in an area in front of you. Also leaves targets less nimble.

TURTLE TAMER: A very defensive warrior skill. Possesses many defensive buffs, can charm enemies, and eventually can deal damage to enemies by being attacked.

-Patience of the Tortoise: A medium duration, medium cooldown buff that grants health and health regen.
-Amphibian Sympathy: A spell that pacifies and charms an enemy monster.
-Reptilian Fortitude: A mana-draining buff that grants significant defensive bonuses.
-Shell Up!: A medium cooldown buff that grants massive defensive abilities, but only lasts for one attack.
-Cold-Blooded Fearlessness: Passively grants existential and necromantic resistance.
-Astral Shell: A mana-draining buff that grants elemental resistance.
-Spiky Shell: Deals piercing and aethereal damage to melee attackers. Piercing damage scales to armor absorption.

PASTAMANCER: A wizard skill that summons thralls and has many spells that deal various (and often random) elemental damage to enemies.

-Spaghetti Spear: A low-cost missile that deals piercing damage.
-Entangling Noodles: A rooting, choking, debuffing spell. Almost exactly like Skatha's Roots.
-Bind Vampieroghi: Summons a flying thrall made of pasta. You can even eat the bits when it dies!
-Ravioli Shurikens: Shoots 3 missiles at a target, one always does slashing damage, the other two will have a random element.
-Tolerance of the Kitchen: Passively increases conflagratory and transmutative resistance.
-Bind Lasagmbie: Summons a thrall of lasagna. Its death-bits also give buffs.
-Weapon of the Pastalord: Deals significant crushing and random elemental damage in an area. Apologies for the particularly terrible animation on this one.

SAUCEROR: A wizard skill that focuses mainly on conflagratory and hyperborean damage with some supporting abilities.

-Curse of Vichyssoise: Applies a minor hyperborean damage dot, as well as a minor debuff to hyperborean and conflagratory resistance.
-Inner Sauce: Passively grants mana regeneration, both in the form of the mana regen stat and sometimes granting mana on spell cast.
-Saucestorm: Creates a large area in which monsters (and the player) take moderate conflagratory and hyperborean damage each turn.
-Jalapeno Saucephere: A mana-draining buff that slightly increases armor absorption, and deals acidic damage to attackers.
-Diminished Gag Reflex: Passively grants putrefying and toxic resistance.
-Curse of Weaksauce: Applies significant debuffs to a target that get worse over time. Deals minor transmutative and putrefying damage.
-Saucegeyser: Deals significant blasting damage to the target, as well as heavy hyperborean or conflagratory damage to a small area.

DISCO BANDIT: A rogue skill focused on dodging and countering. Has damage that scales with caddishness.

-Overdeveloped Sense of Self Preservation: Passively increases sneakiness and trap vision radius.
-Disco Dance of Doom: Short cooldown ability. Deals damage to all monsters adjacent to you as you attack, gives a brief dodge buff.
-Frantic Gyrations: Grants dodge bonuses on crit. Grants crit bonuses on dodge.
-Disco Face Stab: Short cooldown ability. Deals damage to an adjacent target and leaves them bleeding and disoriented.
-Heart of Polyester: Passively increases asphyxiative and righteous resistance (Sleaze didn't have a decent equivalent in Dredmor).
-Flashy Dancer: Causes you to occasionally deal minor damage to monsters when you dodge their attacks or when you hit them. This also causes brief paralysis.
-Disco Inferno: Medium cooldown ability. Deals conflagratory damage in an area around you as you attack. Causes a short conflagratory dot.

ACCORDION THIEF: A rogue skill with many mana-draining buffs. Can occasionally find extra items, zorkmids, and steal from shops. Has some skills that scale with savvy.

-The Moxious Madrigal: Buff with very low mana consumption. Increases dodge and sneakiness.
-Sticky Fingers: Increases trap affinity, causes extra items to occasionally drop from monsters.
-Jackasses' Symphony of Destruction: Mana-draining buff that increases melee power, magic power, and blasting damage.
-Cone of Zydeco: Medium cooldown ability. Deals blasting damage in a cone based on savvy.
-Thief Among the Honorable: Gives your attacks a chance to deal additional damage and produce zorkmids. Increases trap affinity. Allows theft from newly discovered stores.
-Stevedave's Shanty of Superiority: Mana-draining buff that increases all of your primary stats and gives righteous damage.
-Ode to Booze: Mana-draining buff that grants random buffs upon drinking booze. There are about a dozen possibilities. SKOL!

-------

Please tell me if you have any issues with the mod, I didn't encounter any when I published it but could have definitely missed something.

Also, I tried to keep things somewhat balanced in terms of the base game's skills, but this being my first attempt I probably missed the mark. Feel free to give me your thoughts.
