Toughening Monsters Options

[roshan]

Will this mod toughen the monsters and encounters in the game? Im not thinking of simply hit point increases etc, but new abilities and powers for the various creatures, as well as better ai.

Unbalanced how?

I assume you mean Single Weapon Style is not good enough. I would say that it shouldn't be as good as the other Style's...I think it is only there for a better sense of RP. On a battle field a person wielding a single weapon (not a two-handed weapon) has a severe disadvantage compared to someone wielding either a shield and sword or a two handed weapon. I think the game has these balanced about right.

My feeling is that Single Weapon Style is only there to acknowledge that characters concentrating in this field would be better at using a single weapon than others also wielding a single weapon but not concentrating in that style. (Think for example of someone who has trained of years to use a longsword with no shield fighting someone who has trained with sword and shield but has no shield.)

In this sense Single Weapon Style is really competing with itself (single weapon use) rather than the other Styles. If it gave you bonuses that made it comparable with using a sword and shield what would be the point in using either..other than aesthetics?
