Description
The mod that adds RPG Mechanics to Starbound!
This mod adds the ability to raise stats and make your character stronger. Defeating monsters grants experience and raises your level. Allocate stat points, unlock techs and weapons, and choose a Profession, Affinity, and Specialization as you level up.

The Mysterious Book acts as the UI for raising stats, among other things.
Craft it from your personal crafting menu, OR to access it without needing an item, download QuickBar Mini: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1088459034

Patreon and Discord
I am currently working on a game, which means updates will be sparse. However, getting donations will help me continue to update this mod. If you would like to donate, visit my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/IcyVines

Mechanics!
  • Monsters drop experience orbs that are used to raise your level. Utilize the Mysterious Book, with its various (lettered) tabs, to access most of the important mechanics.
  • Overview Tab (O): view basic information.
    • Toggle Classic Mode for a more classic RPG experience.
    • Toggle Rally Mode for a more difficult experience.
  • Stats Tab (S): view and raise 7 unique stats!
  • Class Tab (C): view and choose between 6 classes, and unlock Class Techs and Weapons.
  • Profession Tab (P): view and choose between multiple professions (some are disabled).
  • Specialization Tab (Z): view and choose between multiple specializations (some are disabled).
  • Affinity Tab (A): view and choose between 4 elemental affinities.
  • Skill Tab (K): improve your character with unique skills.
  • Upgrade Tab (U): view and unequip Upgrade Chips.
    • Upgrade Chips are equipped by using them as a consumable.
  • Mastery Tab (M): convert bonus XP to Mastery, Prestige, or purchase the Mastery Shop.
  • Info Tab (I): see your character's current statistics, such as element resistances.
  • Lore Tab (L): view an in-game changelog, interesting lore, and credits for the mod.

Note: in order to use Techs that require the [G] or [H] keys, denoted by Special Action 2 or 3, you must configure that key in your controls configuration.

To Be Added
  • Additional Professions and Specializations.
  • Balancing Changes.
  • Additional Skills.
  • Unique Quest-lines.
  • Missions and Raid Bosses.
As stated in the Patreon and Discord section above, working on this mod takes a lot of time, and as I am currently working on a game, updates will be sparse. Getting financial support will definitely help with continuing mod development.

Compatibility
  • Yes, this mod should work with Frackin Universe.
  • If there are any problems, just tell me. I will fix them as soon as possible.

Admin Commands
  • XP can be spawned using "/spawnitem experienceorb (amount)".
    • Replace "(amount)" with a number of your choosing!
  • Stats can be spawned via 'stat'point, where 'stat' is replaced with the stat name.
    • eg. Use "/spawnitem dexteritypoint (amount)" to spawn Dexterity.
  • The Mysterious Book can be spawned by typing "/spawnitem RPGskillbook".
  • Freezing Currency with a Cheat Engine can prevent the Mysterious Book from opening due to a currency used to ensure the book is only ever opened once.

is there a way to change controls for specific abilities? currently it doesnt seem like I can run Conquistador Specialization along side Explorer Class, as the [Special 2] is the key bind for Enhanced Dash and The Cavalry's Here, but will only switch Enhanced Dash.

Yeah, Same problem as person below me. I chose de-equiped a specialization, then selected a new specialization. It legitimately bugged my entire Mysterious Book. The "Overview" page is the only visible page now, all tabs can be selected, but will never change the accessible page from "Overview" to anything else such as "Stats" "Mastery" etc.

Notes: I was level 50 (Mastered). I changed from Conquistador to Valkyrie in the specialization tab -- then it completely broke and I don't know how to salvage my character.

Does anyone know what causes the specializations tab to bug out after selecting one?
Vania Inkdroid 8 Sep @ 10:04pm 
There should be a Gunblader class that exclusively enhances One-handed Katanas and one-handed guns

cat and silverforte, the dev themself said that they're working on a game so they dont have time to work on the mod
cat 5 Sep @ 2:52pm 
if the mod is dead, can the mod author at least confirm whether or not they're willing to let other people work on it, if they wont?
silverforte 5 Sep @ 2:11pm 
I really hope this isn't dead. This mod is a requirement for me to play this game.

Honestly I love the hell out of this mod because having more speed and health and being able to make your own play style is so much fun!
Gekk 25 Aug @ 7:25am 
Shucks, you "fixed" warlock and now I can't INT dump to the stars as easily.

Might actually have to play the mod properly for once in my life...

Doesnt sound like a problem to me
