Item balancing tips needed for my mod which I will update into + other stuff

[Earthyburt]

Hello! I would like some advice to better balance these items that I will add as an update to my custom character (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2314003632). Some advice for coding is also appreciated. The items below are focused on rewarding the player for having higher sanity. Oh and also I would like to know how to make the custom healing item and what files I need for it. I already have an empty template for everything else.

 

The Items:

Sanity Armor* - Armor that protects the user based on a percentage of what their sanity is over their max sanity. Has high durability compared to other suits. (70% when over 70% Sanity, and decreases proportionally with sanity when below 70%).

Super Sanity Armor* - Improved sanity armor (100% when over 80% Sanity, and decreases proportionally to sanity when below 80%) Grants Moderate Neg Sanity Reduction (30%) 

Sanity Spear - Spear that damage correlates to user's sanity. Damage = ([25 * Sanity Percentage] + 15)

Sanity Sword - Stronger Spear. Damage = (50 * Sanity Percentage) + 25

Sanity Bandage - Restores health correlating to the user's sanity. (80% Current Sanity) Can be applied to the player themself or to another player.

Garland Bandana - Cuts Negative Sanity Aura Multilyiers by half when worn and restores sanity over time (1.34 sanity/min). Degrades over time.**

___________________________________________________________________________

The Secret Formuler (for Armor)*

 

MaxSanityArmorRating = (70% for Normal Armor, 100% for Super Armor)*;

Armor Rating;

Max Sanity = Get Wearer’s Max Sanity

CurrentSanity = Get Wearer’s Current Sanity

 

Modified Max Sanity = Max Sanity * (70% for Normal Armor, 80% for Super Armor)*

 

If (CurrentSanity > (70% | 80%) of Max Sanity) then

SanityArmorRating = MaxSanityArmorRating;

 

else then

CurrentSanity/Modified Max Sanity * 100% = SanityArmorRating;


 

* Each armor will have their own prefab, so I do not need to create a new variable to declare which armor is being worn

____________________________________________________________________________

Other Secret Formuler (for Garland)**

 

NormalSanityDrainMult = GetWearersSanityDrainMultiplier

NewSanityDrainMult = NormalSanityDrainMult * .50

 

 

I already have the template for everything except the healing item which is the item I do not know how to make a template of.
