More Backgrounds

Description
This is a mod that adds 15 backgrounds. It also enables Spellblade characters to access the three special Mystic Backgrounds (Corvus' Apprentice, Desmond's Apprentice, and Domina's Apprentice) as suggested over at the Discord server.

I plan on increasing the number of backgrounds in this mod. But it's a bit hard to come up with new ones while I'm also busy with other larger mods.

So suggestions are more than welcome!

I decided to format the text on this mod and add icons (when available), so it might make it easier to read the backgrounds information.

Last version edits:
  • Backgrounds from this mod will now display a "From: "More Backgrounds" Mod." followed by the "Ignore Synergy" icon (a sealed rolled scroll), so users can identify where these backgrounds came from.
  • Unbalanced backgrounds are now marked with the attribute "Strength" icon (red background with muscle arm).

If you want a more balanced experience try my other mod "More Backgrounds Balanced Edition".

Note for users of older versions:
  • The "Blacksmith" background is back (thanks to Raven, Erannorth's developer, for implementing some systems for modding that allowed me to bring back this background). It's now named "Smith" so it won't conflict with the "Blacksmith" perk that is gained by upgrading a manor in the vanilla game.
  • The "Summoner" Background got renamed to "Summoning Prodigy". I changed the name so it won't conflict with the mod I'm working on (that will bring content from Erannorth Reborn into Chronicles) that will be bringing the Summoner class back.
    This change shouldn't affect old characters with the Summoner Background (hopefully).

Credits:
  • Thanks Godwin (Oldest Profession)
  • Thanks Djent Djester (Sweet-Talker & War Drummer)
  • Thanks Wieland for suggesting a Summon Limit Background, this led me to think of the craziness that is the (Summoning Prodigy)
  • Thanks blaque_czar (Manimal)
  • Thanks AzJusticiar (Blacksmith & Poacher & Raider)
  • Thanks Elfy (Ayahuasca Infused)
  • Thanks Prustan (Chosen One & Super Soldier)
  • Thanks Kazeck (Polyhistor)
  • Thanks Raven for making the awesome Erannorth games, implementing a few modding mechanics I asked for and consistently putting up with my (many) modding questions.

@Risewild Uh oh lol....might need another update as lots of things were changed with this last patch:)

Thanks for the report. I found teh problem and fixed it.

The issue was that the base game code changed for each "were" form and I had no idea about it, so I updated my mod to use the new code instead. :steamhappy:

Hello Risewild!!

Could you check on the Manimal perk; the Ripple Effects for playing "form cards" seemed to have stopped working! Possibly a missing or altered trigger?

There, you get a ton of different awards for being awesome.

Thank you so much! I genuinely appreciate it and it's a great holiday gift.

I wish you a happy holidays Risewild! (Also a Michaelangelo)

@Kazeck
I added a background for it. It's called "Polyhistor". Thanks for the suggestion :steamhappy:

You asked at the right time, since I am going to be too busy for modding from tomorrow until February or so xD.

tbh I know you haven't updated this so it's a long shot, but if I could make one request it'd be for a background that grants every skill in the game at 0. i.e 'can learn x'.

I'd like to do a run where I have every single option available theoretically, and see what kind of crazy loot is obtained, allies found, etc. even if it's incredibly, extremely, suboptimal.

I haven't really played this game for months because I'm too busy. So lots of free updates came by after I last updated this mod.

If you find any Hammer weapon that is not covered by the Blacksmith Background, please tell me about it. If new Hammer cards were released after the last update, I will have to add them to that background.

"Oldest Profession." Oh nooo...

Great work, friend(s, according to the credits). I'm always open to more backgrounds. Can't wait to start sending mercenary blacksmiths and and literal ladies of the evening who happen to be coven witches out into adventure.

I updated the mod.

Added one new background: "Inheritance" (allows non witch characters access to familiars and other witchcraft stuff).

Edited the Manimal to use the new Shapeshift system, the character now changes form too. :steamhappy:
