Modifiers

Combat

• (Chance to) Convert a damage splat into a heal splat
  • Scenario: An enemy has a special that temporarily makes them heal from damage, rather than take damage (essentially one of the effects of Runescape's Nex's "Blood Siphon")
• (Chance to) Ignore evasion/protection/accuracy (aka "won't miss") checks
  • Not sure and didn't check which cases may already have corresponding modifiers
• Heal based on damage dealt (% of damage)
  • I think there is only a "damage taken heal" and/or "flat heal on successful attack" currently?
• Increased/Decreased healing efficiency
  • e.g. "+50% healing efficiency" -> 100hp heal splat becomes 150hp heal splat
  • Unlike increasedFoodHealingValue/decreasedFoodHealingValue, doesn't just affect food and is therefore also usable on monsters
• Heal block
  • No heal at all, regardless of how high your healing efficiency

Note on heal efficiency related modifiers: It's important that low to outright no healing efficiency doesn't go and annihilates a Player's entire food stack(s)

• 0% healing efficiency must disable auto eat in general
• <= 10-20% healing efficiency should display a warning in the UI, that use may end up using a lot of food

Skilling

• Chance to immediately process a Gathering through Artisan (e.g. convert a Bronze Ore into Bronze Bar). With(out?) requiring other resources (such as the coal for certain ores)

Effects

• An effect, that once it disappears will trigger an effect (e.g. "stun after 3 turns")

Modifiers that level with you:

            // @ts-ignore
            this.context.patch(Character, 'getMeleeDefenceBonus').after(function (meleeDefenceBonus) {
                return meleeDefenceBonus + (game.combat.player.levels.Defence * this.modifiers.increasedFlatMeleeDefenceBonusPerDefence)
            })

            // @ts-ignore
            this.context.patch(Character, 'getRangedDefenceBonus').after(function (rangedDefenceBonus) {
                return rangedDefenceBonus + (game.combat.player.levels.Defence * this.modifiers.increasedFlatRangedDefenceBonusPerDefence)
            })

Modifiers that get weaker as you level, same as above but in reverse.

Accidentally healing your opponent after an attack.

Chance to flee from combat - annoying I know.

A set of Global drop pools, I have been trialing this in DnD and Monad for a while. The idea is that there is a pool of loot within ranks. So you could assign a monster a rank and it would get loot randomly from that pool.

A few questions on the ideas:

• What kind of modifiers are you thinking about? The flat increased def bonus and/or others?
• How should the heal be determined? % of damage you would have dealt? Flat amount regardless of the damage? Should the heal only occur on hits (so it can scale on the damage that would've been dealt), or also on misses (wmust be a flat amount then)
• When would the chance to flee roll? After every attack (Player and or Enemy)? Whenever a monster spawns/dies?
• So, are those drop pools meant to replace/be added to the main loot pile or a separate roll similar to the "Global Droptable"?
  • If the latter, should each pool be rolled, or "roll for a pool, then roll for content in the pool"? I feel rolling all pools could end up adding a noticeable amount of extra loot, but on the other site, multiple mods adding various pools could make a special drop of "Mod A" less common than planned, because there might end up being more loot piles to roll between
  • Rather than a "Rank" system in this mod, I would probably go with static lists you could create and allocate monsters to, similar to how you can create Monster types and allocate those to whichever monsters you wish to
