My PC is now out of commission. I still have all the mod files in the cloud, but I cannot continue development currently. Please, leave any bugs you find in the comments. Until I get my workspace in working order, I will provide you guys with first drafts of the soundtrack to the Narrative version of A Rat's RPG. Happy RPing.
Latest Release: FEB 04 2025 2155
The lorekeeper greets you with open arms, as a story like this is yet told. ''For this story is yours,'' the writer continues ''Are you of the knowledgeable yet wicked Witches, or perhaps, a desert raider that wields their axe like it were lightening wreathed in the tempest itself... yes, I sense trouble in you, perhaps you prowl in the night, embraced by shadow, lying in wait for those who rest.''
This is a character creation mod for those in need of a bit more notes in their lorebooks, or a mild sense of progression that you can feel every step until level 35. I have been developing this mod for quite some time, and it has become a jovial hobby project of mine. I have two updates in mind and one in the works.
The two core features presented in this mod are eight attributes that affect your character's capabilities that you gradually increase across thirty-five levels. The other mentioned feature are more than sixteen classes to choose from, with a custom class creator in the works. The attributes are as follows. --
-
Strength
Increases physical damage and jump height. Additionally, restores more durability on damaged items with the repair hammer.
-
Intelligence
Broadly enhances spellcasting capabilities and buffs your pilfering capability.
-
Willpower
Willpower enhances certain spells and decreases the saturation cost on a variety of spells. Increases melee knockback.
-
Speed
Increases movement speed, ratRPG bow rate of fire, and attack speed.
-
Agility
The ability to dodge and land a hit. [pvp combat remains the same, currently.]
-
Endurance
Dictates how many hit-points you permanently gain per level, and base physical [armour] toughness.
-
Personality
Dictates how well people find you, increasing the likelyhood you will be forgiven for crimes and haggle with villagers.
-
Luck
Affects almost everything. Bonus chance to pilfer.
Honestly, there are more classes than I currently have time to go over, though I will say that all are uniquely crafted for a preferred starting methods and attribute scaling. They fall into three categories, the Warrior, the Magi, and the Thief. Generally, the Warrior classes make for Hack-and-Slash playing and make use of the ratRPG repair hammer. Magi classes have the capability harness all vanilla potion effects as spells that you can channel. Thieves, currently being reworked, start with bonus emeralds at the moment.
Spellcasting, in which I want to be as balanced and as fair as possible, does not cost mana. A spell channel costs saturation over the duration of the channel. The drain is static across spell costs, meaning that decreasing channel duration and a full stomach is imperative to practical spellcasting. When you reach the threshold that a lack of saturation drains hunger value, you will become exhausted -- meaning it is time to eat. At any time after casting a spell, regardless of a successful cast, you may press 'R' to recast the last preformed spell.
Agility is a notable attribute and must be addressed here. Your character is no longer guaranteed to hit something when they turn red and recoil at your blade. In melee combat, agility is necessary. To date, I've yet read a warning of agility to melee playstyles that was provided by a developer. To save your time, AGILITY IS NEEDED IF YOU PLAN ON DAMAGING SOMETHING CONSISTENTLY WITH A MELEE WEAPON.

[ily ty for playing my mod]
Forecast for next update:
an updated class selection UI.
more mobs with base agility.
added in 0.0.8CFU:
CurseForge Update
Tweaked Skill Gains.
Skill Threshhold is Skill Level x 50, down from L x 100.
Agility Update Progess
While the agility update is being pushed, dodge chance is no longer affected by agility modifier. Going forward, agility modifier may return
or provide a separate bonus all together.
Early game mobs may prove to be more difficult to hit when compared to the LAST UPDATE. The base formula for hit chance at the time was
if mob agility plus deviation less than agi/100 plus weaponskill/100. now that classes begin with weapon skills, the formula is now
if mob agility plus deviation less than agi/200 plus weaponskill/200.
Luck is spreading.
Uniquely, silverfish are agile and have a feature that is shared with Boss Entities, such as the Evoker.
No amount of luck will increase your chances to hit them.
Fixed Wooden Hoe's attack animation.
Added an Unarmoured Skill.
If player armour total is less than seven, gain unarmoured exp when hit.
An unarmoured character is most agile.
Dodge chance is Agi/200 plus Unarmoured/200

If player armour total is between 6 and 13, gain xp point.
Dodge chance is Agi/200 plus LightAmour/250
Added a Half Armour Skill
If player armour total is between twelve and fifteen, gain an xp point.
Dodge chance is Agi/200 plus MediumArmour/275
Added a Heavily Armoured Skill
If player armour total is fifteen or more, gain an xp point.
Dodge Chance is Agi/200 plus HeavyArmour/300.
A full Set of Iron is Heavily Armoured.
Known Issues: With Better Combat installed, hoes cannot break crops. Better Combat is still highly
recommended.
Added Proficiencies and Aptitudes.
Classes with proficiency in a skill start with 49 levels in that skill and a 5 bonus to xp gains.
Classes with aptitude in a skill start with 24 levels in that skill and a moderate 2.5 bonus to xp gains.
As I begin to roll out more skills, class proficiencies and aptitudes may change.
I will always do UI impliments last, and thus, there is no way to see your skill level outside
of chat logs.

8 hobbies to level up and gain xp through. Perks are obtained through completing milestones in these hobbies. These milestones are 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and 99. Your character gains exp for each level made in these hobbies, scaling with hobby dedication. Currently there are only two hobbies with milestones up to level 75 -- Woodcutting and Mining.
Woodcutting - Tree felling, with enough time and effort, will be a exp source. Boosts efficiency with Axes. Going forward, will provide bonuses to strength. Train this skill faster by using better axes, especially those of the colour boasted by the sun.
Crafting - Craft items to train this hobby. Going forward, will provide bonuses to Intelligence. Train this skill faster through crafting tools.
Farming - Harvest crops to train this hobby. Going forward, will provide bonuses to Willpower. Currently, only scales with wheat. Train this skill faster by harvesting with hoes.
Acrobatics - Jumping and taking fall damage trains this hobby. This hobby will return resistance to enviromental damage such as fall damage and fire, and eventually, provide a bonus to speed.
Combat - Train this skill by slaying. Train this skill faster by slaying monsters. This skill, going forward, will provide a bonus to agility.
Mining - Train this skill by breaking overworld stone and ore. Train this skill faster by mining ores and better pickaxes, similar to Woodcutting. Will later provide a bonus to endurance.
Building - Train this skill by building. Will eventually bolster your character's personality.
Removed traditional exp gain. Experience is now solely gained through the training of hobbies. Leveling as it used to be was relegated in hopes of finding an animal you could slay until you got to 55 int to use a furnace. I personally find the new level scaling slower, but more engaging and varied.
Forecast for 0.0.7c
All attributes have milestones to 75.
XP threshold tweaks.
Changelog starts at 0.0.6b
