Question: Altering skills rather than adding new ones?

I want to make a mod that rebalances core skills and items, rather than add new ones like most mods do.

Is there a way to do this without overwriting game files?

 

Not until totalconversion=1 works, which it doesn't.

 

You can't remove anything but you can add to an existing skill. Ergo you can modify stats but can't remove actives and procs. And stacking skill levels is a bit buggy though.

 

What do you mean by stacking skill levels?

 

Having two or more skill levels in the same level of the same tree.

 

I wouldn't have expected something like that to work.
