Badass: The Mod

Description
Like Dungeons of Dredmor, but don't like the way the game can feel punishingly difficult to someone who was raised on console JRPGs where it was more or less impossible to get into an unwinnable situation? Badass: The Mod may be for you. This mod aims to make Dungeons of Dredmor more fun for the crowd who find Roguelikes to be unenjoyable, bt the simple expedient of adding one to three eight-tier skill trees to your skill tree; skill trees that enhance your character's power by the simple and powerful expedient of adding numbers to your character sheet; and not just a few numbers, a lot of them.

This mod comprises three seperate, badass skill trees:

Basic Badass directly and strongly enhances your character by adding a minimum of health, mana, and +2 to all primary stats per level, with each level flavored and themed to add directly to the secondary stats on your character sheet.

The Invulnerable Badass tree enhances your character by adding directly to your character's ability to resist damage; Rope-a-Dope or Rope-a-Dredmor, it makes no difference. This tree powerfully enhances your ability to shrug off damage types directly, as well as, at later levels, offering large boosts to your ability to dodge and block attacks. A lot of spare health snuck in near the top of the tree, too.

The Asskicking Badass tree enhances your character by adding one to all primary stats at each level, and adding typed damage to all of your melee and ranged attacks. Make your enemies taste the painbow!



Some might consider this cheating, I'd consider it Taking a Level in Badass!


Version 1.1.1: Tweaked the Basic Badass tree (again) to add +3 to all crafting skills at level 4
Version 1.1.0: Tweaked the Basic Badass tree to add +1 to all crafting skills at the first and last levels.
Version 1.0.0: Initial Release

If you like Badass: The Mod, please take a look at Dungeon Life, a mod I've just released which adds ten new rooms to the game for your Badass Heroes to loot and slaughter their way through. It can be found here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=129725571

I'm not sure what more astonishes me; that this mod is literally more than a decade old , or that it can still be used as-is, or that people are using it.

Glad it's been of help, though!

at some point of playing game becames VERY unfair - at level 7-9 i easily die even if i wear cool high-end equip but with this mod now i have good chances.

Awesome mod, I think I might actually be able to finish the game with this enabled. I do not even consider it cheating, because I have still died in 6 runs all getting past level 3 while using this mod.

Highly suggest anyone to get this mod just to fight him on equal ground, but will need all 3 potions of elements(x10) to lower damage of spells. 60+per hit is a lot even with all 3 badass skills maxed out. Suggest those, dire empowerment, 10 lively regen(5 active), and 15 healing potions.

@ShadowDragon8685 Just defeated Vlad Digula with the help of this mod. Considering the stats of Vlad(25-50% better then dredmore), pretty sure it's nigh impossible to defeat him otherwise. Had to load on voltaic(x10), hyperborean(x10), and dire empowerment, lively regen(x5ish), and 15 healing potions. Fantastic mod, in my opinion. Thank you.

Four years it's been, and somebody finally notices that. Enjoy.

Almost every one of the names from this is taken inspirationally from Exalted. I LOVE IT.

This has already been done though.

I actually enjoy this mod because it makes harder skill combos, or even formerly unplayable ones, tougher to swat away. It's only cheating if that's how you use it. Remember that, kids.
