About this mod Machine translation

librarian

📚 **"Sir, I'm very sorry, sir, but it seems like some terrible bureaucratic mistake has happened. Sir, it seems like I've been assigned a task, sir, and, sir, sir, I'm really not cut out for it, sir. I mean, sir, there would be all kinds of dangers there, sir, and the heavy manual work..." **

After studying abroad for a period of time, the librarian finally returned to the town of Hamlet. Although she would rather settle down by the fire with a good book, she is often reluctantly dragged out on adventures by her friends and companions.

Wandering among essays, stories, and legends, this unassuming student of knowledge simply seeks to cram as much valuable information into her head as possible and to remember it. That said, her companions value her wise counsel, as all can benefit from the wisdom contained in ancient stories and folklore.

The book she carries is an evil tome filled with forbidden knowledge. She keeps it close to her to prevent it from falling into the hands of "the wrong people." When asked what kind of hands are "wrong", she would reply: "the irresponsible ones".

✨ Combat Skills

  • **Knockback**: Sometimes she gets stuck in the front row. In this emergency, she would hit someone with a heavy book! If she's wearing the right accessories, she can even slip back to safety.
  • **Know yourself and know the enemy**: Almost memorizing the anatomy diagrams of animals and humans, the librarian knows exactly where the enemy's weaknesses are. The "guidance" she provides her team allows them to take down enemies more effectively.
  • **Forbidden Chant**: With great effort (and no small cost to her sanity), the Librarian unleashes an evil force from the book. This power will pass through all enemies, reducing their offensive capabilities, and, if the correct trinket is worn, it can even apply a blight effect.
  • **Calm down**: A single-target stress-reducing skill that also comes with a nice little buff (*).
  • **Improvisational Tactics**: Drawing on her knowledge of military tactics, the Librarian hastily advises her companions on how best to handle the current situation. This skill has many different variable effects depending on the actual conditions when used.
  • **Potions and Tinctures**: Herbal remedies and minor voodoo magic constitute powerful treatments, although they are slow to work. Harmful statuses are also cured.
  • **Clingy and Dependent**: Sometimes she just needs someone big and strong to hide behind. And that person better know how to take care of themselves (and if they don't know how, she'll tell them). However, the experience can be stressful.
**📌 Skill Buff Description**: Some of the Librarian's skills (those marked with an asterisk (*) above) add a stacking 5% Resolve XP bonus to the entire party. Each time one of these skills is used, the bonus experience points provided by the Librarian are increased by 5%. This effect is removed by Camping, so when bringing along a Librarian, the player must decide if they want to benefit from her Camping skill or skip sleeping for the extra experience points.

🏕️ Camping skills

Even people accustomed to soft down beds must learn to survive in the wild. In fact, the gentle librarian relished the opportunity to settle down and focus on her research again. Although to be honest, in the morning she would complain about the rough pebbles or sleep with tree roots digging into her back.

  • **Pep-Up**, **Cheer-Up** & **Wound Care** (everyone has these).
  • **A GOOD STORY**: A good story can help the team sleep peacefully. It also keeps them in good spirits the next morning.
  • **Knowledge is Power**: Forbidden knowledge grants her companions enhanced combat abilities, but they pay the price of stress for the disturbing knowledge.
  • **Soothing Small Talk**: Sitting down with a companion, the librarian played the Truth Game. It's actually very beneficial for the recipient, and the little bookworm benefits a little too.
  • **Riddles to be Solved** …

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
