[CN]Random Buff For Mod Monster

Do you ever get the feeling that some modded monsters are a bit too weak to be worthy opponents?

If so, this is the mod for you. It adds random buffs to monsters from several popular mods, significantly increasing the randomness and difficulty of every encounter.

The mods this mod supports are listed under "Required Items." If a mod is not on that list, this mod will not affect its monsters.

This mod must be placed above the monster mods you want to enhance in the load order to overwrite their files.

Additionally, if you find the buffs too challenging but enjoy the randomness, or if you feel they aren't strong enough:

Navigate to your Steam Workshop folder for this mod (.../workshop/content/262060/3556953854) and find the effects subfolder. Inside, there are two Python scripts: Buff Chance+25%.py and Buff Chance-25%.py. Simply drag and drop the nwte_rng.effects.darkest file onto one of these scripts to increase or decrease the probability of buffs appearing.If you haven't installed Python, use. bat files instead

If you modify the buff chance, it is highly recommended to create a local copy of this mod to prevent your changes from being reverted by a Steam update, even though making the change is very simple.


1.Due to limitations in Darkest Dungeon's code, this mod works by overwriting the animation files of the original mods' monsters. If an original mod receives a major artistic update (e.g., new textures or skill animations), this mod may prevent the new assets from appearing. However, these are older mods, so the chance of such a major update is virtually zero. In the unlikely event that someone creates a separate reskin/reanimation mod for these monsters, it would also conflict. The chance of this is even lower—who would make an art mod for another mod?
You can safely continue using this mod with any updates that only change numbers or AI.
If a major art update does happen:
(1)Move this mod below the updated monster mod in the load order. This will allow the new art to display correctly.
(2)Teleport to my front door and demand I update this mod.

2.Monsters empowered with these random buffs are undeniably stronger than their vanilla counterparts. You will occasionally encounter enemies that seem blessed by the gods. It is entirely possible to take a critical hit for over 70 damage and have your day completely ruined.

3.This mod does not add random buffs to vanilla monsters, and I have no plans to create one that does.

Someone has already made one. Please search for Exaelus' Arduous Edition Mod on the Steam Workshop.
