Antiquarian Buffed

This is my first mod attempt, so please be gentle. The Antiquarian always felt boring to me, so I set out to change that without (hopefully) making her too overpowered like most mods I saw. The idea was to make her strong enough to be viable in Champion dungeons without making her so strong you feel compelled to take her everywhere.

Nervous Stab: Added a chance (66% at all ranks) on successful hit to remove (2/2/3/3/4) stress from the entire party and an additional separate roll (50%) to remove stress (2/2/3/3/4) from the Antiquarian. This means (pre-buffs/debuffs) the Antiquarian could see 8, 4, 4, or 0 stress reduction from a hit landing while other party members will see either 4 or 0 stress healing from a max level Nervous Stab. *Side note, I wanted to add a penalty on miss to increase stress but couldn't get it to look right in the tooltip so I abandoned that for now.

Festering Vapours: Now targets all enemy units. Initial damage further reduced (from base -75% damage to -90%) and causes now causes Stress Damage (3/3/4/4/5) to performer. Deals 2/2/3/3/4 Blight damage per round for 3 rounds. Blight resist debuff unchanged.

Fortifying Vapours: Targets all friendly units healing 0-1/1-1/1-2/1-3/2-3 initially, then 2 healing for 2 rounds. Removed the ability to critical heal. Bleed/Blight resistance buff was removed and replaced with a small chance (12-24% based on rank) to cure.

Invigorating Vapours: Buffs now last duration of combat, however a two per combat limit was imposed. Dodge amounts are the same as vanilla (3/5/7/9/10), with a Stress DMG Reduction being added (5/5/10/10/15) to account for the stack reduction. Stacking twice you would receive 6/10/14/18/20 Dodge and 10/10/20/20/30 Stress DMG Reduction for the remainder of that combat.

Protect Me: Removed per combat use limit, hardly used it before but I don't see a point to limiting it as there are much better options available on her now anyway.

Get Down: No changes
Flashpowder: No changes

If you'd like to provide feedback on my tweaks I'm more than welcome to hear them out, as I do feel she is a bit too strong at the Apprentice level but just about right on Champion difficulty. I've been playing with these changes for a few days and haven't run across any issues - but be sure to put it fairly high in the load order or the changes may not apply correctly.
