Wigfrid Rebalance Mod Concept

[Korlie]

Wigfrid is my favorite character to play as but I hate how easy she makes the game, and I can't really make a mod of my own so I decided to just leave this here on the off-chance somebody who can would be interested in making it.

 

Wigfrid - 200 Health - 120 Hunger - 120 Sanity

 

Fierce but Fragile Will : Wigfrid excels in battle through sheer force of will, but her confidence is shaken to reality the closer she comes to death. From 200 to 150 Health Wigfrid has 1.25x Damage and Defense, from 150 to 50 Health Wigfrid has 1.0x Damage and Defense, from 50 to 0 Health Wigfrid has 0.75x Damage and Defense.

Calmed by Victory : Wigfrid thrives off glory in combat, being relaxed with the deaths of her foes. Wigfrid regains 1 Sanity from killing enemies with 99 or less Health in combat, 5 Sanity from enemies with 100 to 999 Health and 100 Sanity from enemies with 999+ Health.

Loves to Eat Meat : Wigfrid prefers to only eat meat, and is disgusted by any other type of food. Wigfrid loses 5 sanity anytime she eats something that isn't meat, saying "That food was not befitting a warrior"

Brings Her own Props : Wigfrid starts off with her special Battle Helm and Battle Spear, and can craft more of them. Battle Helm costs 2 rocks and 1 moonrock to craft, Battle Spear costs 2 twigs 2 flint and 1 moonrock to craft.

 

Basically the logic is having her combat boost scale with her health encourages and rewards players for kiting and keeping her at high health. Having her gain sanity from killing things is her own version of the sanity gain mechanics for Willow getting it from fire and Woodie from planting trees. Allowing her to eat non-meat things at a cost removes the gameplay diversity lock of only being able to eat meat, but having it cost sanity to eat non-meat means she can't indulge it as much or as effectively as normal characters. And then having her equipment require moonrock to craft instead of gold allows her to acquire the ingredients to craft her equipment almost as easily as before, but not as often as moonrock is only replenished after meteor showers. So she is forced to use her special equipment sparingly over normal equipment, while also giving more value to a not very used material.
