Automatic Bonus Progression
An item rebalance mod for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous based on Pathfinder's Automatic Bonus Progression ruleset. This is not compatible with controllers.
This mod creates a save dependency. Once you save with this mod enabled it must remain enabled or you will lose access to the save.
Settings are NOT in UMM, they use Mod Menu

Installation
Download AutomaticBonusProgression.zip and install it using ModFinder or Unity Mod Manager. Make sure to install TabletopTweaks-Core and ModMenu as well.
If you use this on an existing save, you'll need to respec both regular and mythic paths to get full functionality.
This doesn't work with controllers. You have to use mouse and keyboard.
How it works
Automatic Bonus Progression automatically grants stat bonuses usually provided by items which no longer provide them. As a result you are free to equip items based on their special abilities and effects.
Note: Items in game still list these bonuses in the UI, but they do not apply. I will likely never address this, as it is a huge effort to fix.
