Lexicon Shield

Why?

Did you ever thought that having a book in your hand wile fighting might risk ruining it?

Yeah, me too, the moment a LARP sword (one covered in foam) almost cut in half my pg spellbook. So perhaps it might be better to use a thicker metal cover for a lexicon.

Since we are there we could also increase the surface (now that the book is resistant) in order to remove the need to flip the pages.

Wow, now our book is a shield with the pages of the lexicon sticked inside ready to be read.

How?

You only need a Steel Shield, a Lexicon, and some Iron Scrap (1) to fix the paper inside the shield through the survival crafting,

the resulting shield will be a bit less durable considering that each hit might loosen some pin.

More!

Well, this mod has a very focused scope, but perhaps keeping a shield so near while channeling magic for years might have some unexpected effect, who knows. But don't worry it would probably take too long, it is something for your children to worry about.

Acknowledgement

Thanks to Sinai for creating SideLoader that I used to create this mod.

Version

1.0.4 Noticed a few (lot) of spelling mistake.

1.0.1-3 Attempts to fix issue with the installation.

1.0.0 First release.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
