Bolt the Pikachu

Description
Pikachu now available in Don't Starve Together

-- Backstory --

Bolt is just a regular Pikachu. One day he come across a strange portal. Curiousity got better of him and as a result, he was taken to the wilderness and his power was greatly weakened.

Realising there is no way back, Bolt keeps pushing on until he sees a chest. Bolt curious nature got a better of him again as he opens the chest and watch shadow creature surrounds and consume him.

Now a ghost, He was saved by a humanoid spider defeating the darkness and offering him a heart. Realising the wilderness cannot be tackled alone and also to repay his debt, He decided to follow the spider.

-- Stat --

Health = 100
Hunger = 100
Sanity = 100

-- Abilities ( You can choose it on the configuration setting, the default is Static ) --

Static = When attacked, Bolt will have a chance to electrocute the attacker.
Lightning Rod = Bolt will attract nearby lightning similar to lightning rod in game ( Unlike WX-78 which set nearby object on fire, Bolt completely nullifies it but doesn't offer benefit when struck ).

-- Characteristic --

Cat and mouse = Catcoon will play with bolt with their claws and pounce.

Electric STAB = All electrical weapon will deal 150% more damage when Bolt holds it.

Pandora's box = Bolt manages to recover the item obtained from the ornate box.

Fast = As a pikachu, he can move 25% faster than normal.

Cuteness aura = Pikachu cuteness means others won't become insane when looking at him. Radiates sanity aura to others by small amount.

Died and Revived = He is revived by telltale heart once. Receive resurrection and maximum health penalty at the start of the journey ( Can be replenished by booster shot )

Fur = Pikachu have a fur, duh! Grants heat insulation but makes bolt get wet faster and dry slower.

Small body, small belly, small hunger = Bolt comes with reduced max hunger but drains hunger 33% slower.

Knees weak, arms are heavy = Bolt small size ensure that he will never be able to use a melee weapon bigger than him.

Comes with its 2 craftable item:

-- Electro dagger --
Recipe (Fight tab) = 1 twig, 1 cut grass and 1 gold nugget.
In others hand, an inferior walking cane. In his hand though...

-- Light Ball --
Recipe (Light tab) = 1 volt goat horn, 50 health and 1 yellow gem.
An odd, electrical orb. When a pikachu hold it, something happens. It have no effect otherwise. Worn like an amulet.

-- Note --

If you use mods that make character receive no respawn penalty, Bolt will starts at full health.

The light ball is compatible with xVar amulet slot.

It's my first mod but feel free to comment on what you think of this character. This mod is originally intended for personal use.

I just remembered to say this: Mom's Spaghetti. Get it? It's an Eminem reference: Knees weak, arms are heavy, Mom's spaghetti.

@Somejerry Also, I'd like a config option to disable the "Knees weak, arms are heavy" drawback if the player wants, kinda like the "Whisky, the unordinary depths dweller" mod's toggle for the back pain drawback she has. this would also fix a crash that occurs when equipping hand slot items from other mods.

@somejerry Maybe Bolt should be able to wield Dark Swords because in DST, shadows canonically "have no substance", meaning they hardly have any matter in them, & Glass Cutters, because... well... I'd imagine that Moon Glass is really light, considering the fact that it supposedly originally came from the moon? Also, I'd appreciate it if you added support for Tropical Experience, as well as the "More Equip Slots" mods. :resmile:

@Somejerry Also, the tweak I suggested would probably fix the Hand Slot issue mentioned in my previous comment.
GlitchSans240 16 Jun, 2022 @ 6:28pm 
@Somejerry The game crashes upon equipping the Bug B Gone from the Tropical Experience mod, or any equippable Hand Slot item from most mods. Wurt is canonically 1 foot tall and is canonically a child, while in Pokemon, Pikachu is canonically 1 foot 6 inches tall & is canonically a 2nd-tier evolution, so if Wurt can wield any weapon, Bolt should be able to as well. Just suggesting some logical, lore-based tweaks.

ok but it would make shock darts nuts 172.5 to a wet target but of the bosses only d-fly can get wet

Totally forgot about stab move, I'll add them later
Friendly Shade 1 Jul, 2019 @ 4:06am 
ok. give him stab (same type attack bonus) of like 15% this would only apply to Electro dagger (assuming it dose shock damage) and shock darts and the mourning star (assuming he can hold them)
