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.

@common rock i dont think they do scale if rally mode is off (could be wrong) but also if your friend has rally mode on it still scales enemies for both of you, so if they're higher level than you with rally mode on then that'd be why you're getting owned
Common Rock 24 Nov @ 4:23pm 
Do enemies still scale based on level even if rally mode is off? I feel like I'm getting owned by everything in my friend's multiplayer world but it could just be gear issue

Would the soldier's bonus to two-handed guns also apply to modded guns that have custom types like battle rifles or light machine guns ?

is this still being worked on? last update was in 2023...it's perfectly fine if it's just going slow but i hope it's still being worked on at all because this is one of the best mods that exists for starbound and it'd be tragic for it to die off ^^;

@Kirbyfreak Yeah it scales with Dex, and as a Technomancer, also with Vigor
ChewedPencil 15 Nov @ 5:57pm 
Ah i was just asking cause i hadnt found one yet. But I will be testing once i do find one!

Kirbyfreak This is true
Kirbyfreak 15 Nov @ 3:20am 
Chewedpencil, fun fact you can TEST it lol

If you find a Hylotyl city they may sometimes have an unkillable sandbag called a Punchy.

Get like... idk, 10 skill points

Check damage before
Get Intelligence
Check damage again
Get Dexterity
Check damage again.

Use the scientific method lol

so i found the flamethrower and decided to go for a technomancer, but im curious as to which stat increases flamethrower damage? Is it Dex for Ranged or Intelligence?

Only body tech does not work n mainly for translocation. All other tech work. Talking with OSB developers now to fix it if possible. OSB is great nonetheless with RPGG body tech or not.
