Wendov, The Night Owl

Description
Opportunistic combat focused character with an emphasis on kiting.



Description and Author's Notes

Wendov is a dhampir, one of the half-living children of vampires and humans. As such, he has some of the strengths and weaknessess of typical vampires, but not to such a harsh degree.

I made him after being dissatisfied with the vampire characters on the workshop when I first looked for one. They were too harsh in their penalties and too strong in their strengths. By shifting down to a dhampir instead of a fully-fledged vampire, it can keep the general playstyle but not to such a drastically game-altering degree.

His playstyle is intended to encourage opportunistic fighting with an emphasis on avoiding damage rather than tanking it. Think of him almost like Wendy in how you pick your fights in accordance to the time of day, but without as much tanking potential. You gain a damage boost at full health, encouraging evasion. His lifesteal is enough to heal you back to full if you're actively avoiding damage while fighting, but it's not significant enough to stand and brawl it out with a Deerclops.

As a dhampir, batilisks see him as kin. They're neutral towards him and won't attack unless provoked.

Values of the healing, hunger sated, and sanity lost depend on the type and size of the blood. Other players can craft human blood at the cost of health if they're near him, which is very potent.

He also has fully customized dialogue (up until a certain point). Examine things!

Has full darkvision at night and in caves if his sanity is at 50% or lower.
Eyes change to a more vibrant red if darkvision can activate.


Full moons cause a rapid sanity drain effect.

Full moons double healing from blood and lifesteal and double hunger sated by blood.

Caves will inhibit full moon effects.

Darkvision and crafting bonuses can be toggled to be always active.
Sanity drain during full moons can be toggled off.
Doubled healing from full moons can be toggled off.


FAQ
I died, and now my max health is reduced. I can't use booster shots. What do I do?
Primarily, Wendov can restore penalized max health by healing from his lifesteal while at full health. Each attack while at full health will restore half of the health you would have healed as max health.

Alternatively, consuming Human Blood (crafted by other players when near Wendov) will also restore 10 penalized max health.

I'm playing him in a spooky server with friends! I'm slowly getting a handle on how to ride his sanity mechanics, but he's loads of fun! Is it possible to have him react to garlic the way Wigfrid responds to all non-meat?

How about giving it a less squeaky voice? For example, change it to Wortox or even Maxwell. Mainly because Wendy is a very used character, and her voice would be heard all the time.

A very good character, but it's a pity that there is no unique voice(((

Hey, things are working out fine now! Thank you so much! Despite being an old one, this mod has been a fantastic way to play the game.

Should be fixed now. Was a problem with trying to call the damage formula on something that was technically not a weapon, and thus had no set attack damage.

Hello again, its me. So ihave been encountering a serious bug. So when you hit an enemy with things like lanterns, umbrellas the game crashes, it doesnt happen with walking cane, torches etc. I have taken a screenshot of crash screen but idk how to show it. I first discovered this during the gameplay with my friend i crashed the server by accidentally hitting butterflies in the morning (more than 10 times lol).

Oh, Alrighty! Thank you for listening to me rambling on stuff not even I too much understand. Heck, thank you for even updating a very old mod, some creators don't even do that much anymore.
