Pitch Black Dungeon

Quirks matter now.

Weirdest Dungeon - Designed for Pitch Black Dungeon

🎮 **A small mod that makes hero quirks really affect the game! **

At first this was just a mod I used personally, but I thought it would make everyone's gaming experience more interesting, so I decided to share it.

---

🤔 **Original intention of creation**

After a few rounds, I noticed that my heroes started to look the same. They lack any memorable intrinsic qualities - gear is just numbers, and quirks rarely have any real impact on gameplay. I longed for something more "real" for my quirks, so I started studying the game files and ended up making this mod.

⚡ **Mod Function**

This mod **dramatically enhances the effects** of quirks, both positive and negative. Specifically:

• **The effect of combat quirks is increased to three times**.
• **Non-combat quirks** and quirks that I find more boring are **effectively improved even more** - for example, your "Warren Expert" is now an actual Warren Dungeon Expert!

🧠 **Design Goal**

The overall goal is to make quirks **meaningful** and in turn make heroes feel more **personalized**.

• Your "irrepressible" crusader is now having a really hard time cracking under pressure.
• And the "slow" ascetic is really **very** slow.

🎲 **Gameplay Impact**

The changes to the gaming experience should be quite noticeable:

• You may be **very lucky** now, or you may be **very unlucky**.
• **Sanitarium** will become more important, both for removing negative quirks and locking positive ones.
• This may open up more avenues for "extreme play", but remember this is a mod designed for **Pitch Black Dungeon** - gold is not an infinite resource.

📁 **Installation and Uninstallation**

**Installation steps**

• Find the `shared/buffs` folder in your Pitch Black Dungeon game directory.
• Back up the original `base.buffs.json` file.
• Place the `base.buffs.json` file of this module into the folder and overwrite the original file.

**Effective and Compatible**

• When loading your save (**without damaging the save**), quirk changes will take effect **immediately** and apply to all heroes (both new and existing).

**Uninstall steps**

• Just overwrite the mod's files with the files you backed up earlier.

🐛 **Feedback and Help**

There are a lot of quirks in the documentation, and the naming rules are sometimes unclear.

• If you find a quirk that doesn't seem to have been fixed, please report it on the page so I can make this overhaul as good as possible.
• Of course, if any of my changes cause the game to crash, please be sure to let me know.
