Ooops. I didn't check the HP increase. I think I made this ages ago with very limited friend support. I'll look at it tomorrow or the day after.

I don't think this mod does what it advertises. I downloaded it, unpacked it, and looked at the source out of curiosity. For one, it actually INCREASES enemy health because of the changes it makes to the small, negative scaling exponents; I graphed both the original and modded functions to be sure.

Second, it does reduce player damage taken but it just cuts the exponent in half, which is a lot less than half the effect in this case.

To truly halve the scaling, I think it just needs to divide the the factors by 2 after doing the calculations (clamped to acceptable values, of course).

That sounds above my expertise, but I know Sheepy is working on a mod that let's you save and load settings, so never say never!

interesting but if it was possible to add a slider, to make it less/more fair , in both ways , i have no clue how easy it would be to implement but i know it'd be grand :D
