The Balladeer: A Musical Buff Class

<p><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><em><strong>Note: Until Instruments updates, this mod will remain in pre-release and use Coral's temporary fork. Get it <a style="color: #e74c3c;" title="vsinstruments temp 1.22" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/49186" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</strong></em></span></p> <h1>Introducing the Balladeer!</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The&nbsp;<strong>Balladeer</strong> is a utility-focused class which sacrifices a lot of utility with regard to mining and combat in exchange for buffing their fellow Seraphs instead.&nbsp; As long as they are playing an instrument (specifically an ABC file*) they apply buffs to healing effectiveness, hunger rate, temporal decay, walk speed, and both melee and ranged attacks to any Seraphs within a 20m radius.</p> <p>Note that this class is more than likely <em>not </em>well balanced, especially in single player where the Balladeer likely suffers without any friends to buff. Use at your own discretion.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Requires <a title="Instruments" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/49186" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instruments</a>** and <a title="CAN Effects" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/effectshud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">C&amp;N Effects</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>* </em><em>More information about ABC files is available on the <a title="Instruments" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/463" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instruments</a> mod page.</em></p> <p><em>** I also recommend <a title="Instruments QuackPack" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/17850" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instruments QuackPack</a> for some nice default instruments, including the accordion in the mod image (not needed with Coral's temporary fork).</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr /> <h2>Buffs:</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Bard:</strong> While playing a song, grants +15% healing effectiveness, -20% hunger rate, +10% temporal charge, +10% walk speed, +10% mining speed, +25% melee and ranged weapon damage, and +10% ranged weapon accuracy and speed to all Seraphs in range.</li> <li><strong>Fleetfooted:&nbsp;</strong>+10% walk speed</li> <li><strong>Picky Eater:</strong> -5% hunger rate</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Debuffs:</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Bard:</strong> While playing a song, applies +15% animal detection range to all Seraphs in range.</li> <li><strong>Brash:&nbsp;</strong>+15% animal detection range (Optional since v2.0.0)</li> <li><strong>Frail:</strong> -2.5 health points, -25% ranged distance (Optional since v2.0.0)</li> <li><strong>Claustrophobic:</strong> -15% ore drop rate, -10% mining speed (Optional since v2.0.0)</li> <li><strong>Overconfident:</strong> -15% melee damage, -15% ranged damage (Optional since v2.0.0)</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr /> <h3>New with v2.0.0:</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Playable bone flute:</strong> A custom flute craftable from either a bone or a normal bone flute, exclusive to players with the Bard trait</li> <li><strong>Frog-shaped guiro:</strong> Croak away on this carved wooden instrument <ul> <li>Note: Versions containing the frog guiro before pre.4 may accidentally broadcast certain notes at full volume.
