A Rat's RPG

 My PC is now out of commission. I still have all the mod files in the cloud, but I cannot continue development currently. Please, leave any bugs you find in the comments. Until I get my workspace in working order, I will provide you guys with first drafts of the soundtrack to the Narrative version of A Rat's RPG. Happy RPing.

Latest Release: FEB 04 2025 2155

0.1.1 Update Video

   The lorekeeper greets you with open arms, as a story like this is yet told. ''For this story is yours,'' the writer continues ''Are you of the knowledgeable yet wicked Witches, or perhaps, a desert raider that wields their axe like it were lightening wreathed in the tempest itself... yes, I sense trouble in you, perhaps you prowl in the night, embraced by shadow, lying in wait for those who rest.''

    This is a character creation mod for those in need of a bit more notes in their lorebooks, or a mild sense of progression that you can feel every step until level 35. I have been developing this mod for quite some time, and it has become a jovial hobby project of mine. I have two updates in mind and one in the works.

    The two core features presented in this mod are eight attributes that affect your character's capabilities that you gradually increase across thirty-five levels. The other mentioned feature are more than sixteen classes to choose from, with a custom class creator in the works. The attributes are as follows. --

1.     Strength

   Increases physical damage and jump height. Additionally, restores more durability on damaged items with the repair hammer.

2.     Intelligence

   Broadly enhances spellcasting capabilities and buffs your pilfering capability.

3.     Willpower

   Willpower enhances certain spells and decreases the saturation cost on a variety of spells. Increases melee knockback.

4.     Speed

   Increases movement speed, ratRPG bow rate of fire, and attack speed.

5.     Agility

   The ability to dodge and land a hit. [pvp combat remains the same, currently.]

6.     Endurance

   Dictates how many hit-points you permanently gain per level, and base physical [armour] toughness.

7.     Personality

   Dictates how well people find you, increasing the likelyhood you will be forgiven for crimes and haggle with villagers.

8.     Luck

   Affects almost everything. Bonus chance to pilfer.

    Honestly, there are more classes than I currently have time to go over, though I will say that all are uniquely crafted for a preferred starting methods and attribute scaling. They fall into three categories, the Warrior, the Magi, and the Thief. Generally, the Warrior classes make for Hack-and-Slash playing and make use of the ratRPG repair hammer. Magi classes have the capability harness all vanilla potion effects as spells that you can channel. Thieves, currently being reworked, start with bonus emeralds at the moment. 

    Spellcasting, in which I want to be as balanced and as fair as possible, does not cost mana. A spell channel costs saturation over the duration of the channel. The drain is static across spell costs, meaning that decreasing channel duration and a full stomach is imperative to practical spellcasting. When you reach the threshold that a lack of saturation drains hunger value, you will become exhausted -- meaning it is time to eat. At any time after casting a spell, regardless of a successful cast, you may press 'R' to recast the last preformed spell.

    Agility is a notable attribute and must be addressed here. Your character is no longer guaranteed to hit something when they turn red and recoil at your blade. In melee combat, agility is necessary. To date, I've yet read a warning of agility to melee playstyles that was provided by a developer. To save your time, AGILITY IS NEEDED IF YOU PLAN ON DAMAGING SOMETHING CONSISTENTLY WITH A MELEE WEAPON.
