Killing Momentum (Executioner buff)

The Executioner talent loses a lot of value with difficulty mods that hugely increase enemy tankiness, so I wanted to spice it up a bit.
In addition to the 2AP on kill, it now has a "cull" effect (instantly kill targets below 10% hp) and grants Momentum, a movement+crit+damage buff that lasts until your next hit—but instead upgrades on crit or kill.

Norbyte's Script Extender[github.com] is required.

---

v1.0.1
• (New feature) When you gain or upgrade Momentum, you also gain 0.5 AP worth of free movement (the same amount as the Pawn talent) for immediate use.
• (Balance) In exchange, the movement-per-AP buffs from each level of Momentum have been reduced by 25%.
• (Balance) The cull effect can now trigger from magic and basic ranged attacks; the trigger now excludes only surface ticks, dot ticks, and reflected damage.
• (Compatibility) This mod now overwrites the ‘TalentExecutionerActionPointBonus’ ExtraData entry with the game’s vanilla value of 2. You can now use it to overwrite other mods that change that entry, or overwrite it with other mods in return.

─────CULL EFFECT─────
(This effect is intended to address the reliability of triggering Executioner.)

• If your attack leaves an enemy with less than 10% HP, they will instantly be killed. They explode, in fact.
• For bosses, this effect triggers at 5% HP.
• Does not trigger from surface damage ticks, DoT ticks, or reflected damage.


───MOMENTUM STATUS───
(This effect is intended to address the issue of killing multiple enemies in one turn with your executioner -- it should be somewhat profitable now.)
This status grants bonuses to your next weapon attack, and can last up to the end of your next turn if you don't use it.
It can be "upgraded" up to two times, gaining increased bonuses with each "level":

• (Level 1) - Momentum
 ﹝ +1.5m movement ﹞﹝ +5% crit chance ﹞﹝ -20% dodge chance ﹞
 +1% damage bonus for every 0.5m traveled with this status.
 +½AP worth of free movement for immediate use.
If your attack crits or kills an enemy, this status instead upgrades to Killing Momentum, and retains its distance counter.

• (Level 2) - Killing Momentum
 ﹝ +3m movement ﹞﹝ +10% crit chance ﹞﹝ -40% dodge chance ﹞
 +1% damage bonus for every 0.5m traveled with both Momentum and Killing Momentum.
 +½AP worth of free movement for immediate use.
If your attack crits or kills an enemy, this status instead upgrades to Critical Momentum, and retains its distance counter.

• (Level 3) - Critical Momentum
 ﹝ +4.5m movement ﹞﹝ +100% crit chance ﹞﹝ -100% dodge chance ﹞
 +1% damage bonus for every 0.5m traveled with each level of Momentum.
 +½AP worth of free movement for immediate use.
This status cannot be refreshed or upgraded.

• This mod sets the AP gain from Executioner kills to 2 (the Vanilla value). It will overwrite any mod that changes that, and you can overwrite it with any mod you wish.
• That said, the only mod that I know of that touches that value is Baardvark's Enhanced Talents, which sets it to 0. Be sure to load his mod after mine, which will change the AP bonus to 1AP from every kill instead of 2AP once per turn.

• Opportunity Strikes - Opportunist rework

• Snipes McCoop - the idea for the Cull effect is from TalentsV2.
