Stronger Creatures - Simple Difficulty Mod

ManiacalFreak

I based this off of "Mix-Mod" but it is much simpler. Enemies will receive bonuses to HP, THAC0, and AC depending on their general race attribute (e.g. humanoids get +3 THAC0 and AC and a 50% HP bonus, while giants get +3 THAC0, +1 AC, and tripled HP)

Hopefully this will make the game a bit harder... perhaps even on Insane difficulty with the XP bonus or with power-gamey characters.

Let me know what you guys think.

Is no one using this?

This looks like a nice little mod

It's a fine sentiment, but I fear the problems of IWD arise precisely from difficulty being tuned by numbers only, instead of general script/AI/behavior. Number tweaks are not sufficient in changing the paradigms of the very linear combat system, as HoF demonstrated.

I agree. We need something like Sword Coast Stratagems by DawidW ( http://www.gibberlings3.net/scs/ ) for IWD: EE. Hopefully he will finish it soon.

Thank you very much for the mode. It is really nice combined with the Scales of balance who reduces by - 50% the Xp from monsters.

It really makes the game more challenging.

Icy regards from the Dale.

Does this conflict with other mods? This seems one of those mods one would want to enable or disable at will, but it would be a mess if i had to re-mod the game every time. Since it only modifies creatures, it shouldn't run into many conflicts, right?
