Unnofficial Weapon Balance Patch

Overview

That mod is aimed at giving some love to some weapons you almost certanly skip during your general playthrough by giving them a special effect, changing their behavior, providing more enchantability or just changing some stats.

Report to me any balance changes you feel need to be done on the Outward Modding Community Discord

I'd love to hear if you have any other ideas for improvements, all feedback is appreciated
