Regional Maledictor

描述
Regional Maledictor
The Maledictor is a really well designed single monster mod. Visually and gameplay wise, it perfectly matches the themes and style of the game. However, I always felt he didn't make sense as a common enemy that spawns everywhere. His character design and gameplay looks very tailored to either the Ruins or the Crimson Court, and despite being stylistically so fitting in the game, in my opinion, it was clashing when spawning in the Warrens, Weald, or Cove as he just looks out-of-place in those dungeons.

I had left a comment years ago about this concern in that mod's page, but the comment was never addressed. Now that I finally know how to mod, I decided to resolve this issue for me and those that share my views.

What this patch does
As part of my Regional Enemies series of mods, this patch will make the Maledictor a regional enemy exclusive to the Crimson Court. I think he fits this setting perfectly, given that:
  • He weaponizes his blood
  • He's a stress dealer, making him a plausible candidate to fill the role of a regional madman residing in the courtyard. (His straight jacket also reinforces the notions he's a lunatic.)
  • He has a unique blood disease, which explains why he can survive in the courtyard while being immune to the CC itself
  • His disease spares him from being turned into a blood bag

In the courtyard, the Maledictor is considered an outcast since his blood disease runs contrary and is an affront to the Crimson Curse. This also makes him unsuitable to be fed upon by courtiers, who fear his blood would taint them and so they shun him. As such, he will only spawn with mindless zombies and beasts.

NOTES: I considered bundling these changes with my Regional Enemies - Maledictor patch, but decided to make it its own patch given that it makes very drastic changes to his mashes.

Installation and compatibility
  • This mod requires the original "Maledictor" mod.
  • This mod is NOT compatible with my "Regional Enemies - Maledictor patch". Choose one or the other. (I prefer and recommend this one).
  • This patch DOES NOT require any of my Regional Enemies mod.
  • Place this patch above any Maledictor related mods

BONUS: I created a new higher quality status effect icon for the Maledictor's stress debuff


Credits
Thanks to the creative team behind the Maledictor mod. You created a stellar enemy. My patch is just an adaptation of your excellent work to fit with my head canon.
