Stop levelling
Block the player's xp at desired levels.
Source (v0.3.1)
DO NOT:
(if you do any of these things it will shoot you to level 30, see known issues)
Motivation
E.g. if you wanted a knight, warrior monk, or assasin builds, you would setup stats like:
The mod creates a stat-skill dependency that governs the "build" of the character. This means that Skills that depend on a specific Stat, would never go higher than the governing Stat.
The skill dependencies are all configurable, as well as optional. Below are the deault values, which can be changed either in-game or through the `mod.cnf`.
You can also choose to turn these off and set individual limits for each skill with `STOPLEVELLING-SET-skills_limits_inherit_stats false`.
How it works
In its current state, it's rather difficult to get specific with XP blocking.
This mod adds a number of perks that would block XP when the limit is reached, but they can only affect the `buff_params` defined by Warhorse. As of KCD2 version `1.1.2`, the only available values are:
xpm All XP
xst Strength
xag Agility
xvi Vitality
xsw Swords
xcr Craftsmanship
xsu Survival
xhw Heavy Weapons
xma Marksmanship
xsc Scholarship
These can be blocked completely. Those that are not on this list, are have their XP reduced periodcally by script, only if:
There are caveats around this approach, mainly that XP isn't really stopped, only controlled. A quest reward or skill book might shoot you past the desired limit, and there is no way to go back a level.
Config
Set these in `mod.cnf`.
Each of these is added as a console function: you can configure these values in-game.
Testing
There's a number of commands added in-game that allow you to check out the mod at work.
I suggest that if you are doing this, you start with `stoplevelling_kill_timers`, to prevent unwanted actions.

Drink a Henry's Fox potion (level 4 quality)Fixed- Add any of these XP modifying perks: "Wonders of man", "Wonders of beasts", "Wonders of nature"
- "Martin's heritage" and "Radzig's heritage" are OK
- Load the mod with another XP-modifying mod
Seems to take buffs into account when calculating current skill levelStill does, but reduces by a safe amoun- Warfare skill does not seem to reduce XP or block
- New game: Godwin intro: adds a lot of perks to Godwin, not sure if it has any effects or if they persist.
- New game: Henry is level 15 in almost all stats; this may be higher than your configured limits. I suggest a) running the console command stoplevelling_kill_timers until you finish the prologue and wake up at Bozhena's.
- XP-modifying mods cause player.soul:AddStatXP and player.soul:AddSkillXP to overflow when the added number is negative, for stats and skills that do not have a proper XP blocking buff modifier.
- XP-modifying skills or potions cause player.soul:AddStatXP and player.soul:AddSkillXP to overflow when the added number is negative, for stats and skills that do not have a proper XP blocking buff modifier.
Motivation
- Henry is OP, and in the realistic setting that KCD2 pretends to be, there is no room for an unstoppable slayer like Henry can become in the vanilla game. This mod aims to correct that.
- At higher levels, a lot of RPG elements are lost because Henry is simply too powerful, and the system does not allow stats to go higher than 30, no matter what.
- This also means that perks that add to your skills, permanently or conditionally, like Leshy I & II or Deft Hands, are completely lost after a certain point.
- By having a lower limit for Stats and Skills, buffs from perks and potions will matter more.
E.g. if you wanted a knight, warrior monk, or assasin builds, you would setup stats like:
class knight monk assasin
------------------------------------
strength 2212 13
agility 14 9 22
vitality 2018 12
speech 1620 9
The mod creates a stat-skill dependency that governs the "build" of the character. This means that Skills that depend on a specific Stat, would never go higher than the governing Stat.
- e.g. `drinking,horse_riding,weapon_unarmed` all depend on `vitality` (default values), this means that, for the `assasin` class defined above, neither of these skills would ever go past `12`.
The skill dependencies are all configurable, as well as optional. Below are the deault values, which can be changed either in-game or through the `mod.cnf`.
You can also choose to turn these off and set individual limits for each skill with `STOPLEVELLING-SET-skills_limits_inherit_stats false`.
strength: craftsmanship,heavy_weapons,survival,weapon_large,fencing
agility: marksmanship,stealth,thievery,weapon_sword
vitality: drinking,horse_riding,weapon_unarmed
speech: alchemy,houndmaster,scholarshipHow it works

These can be blocked completely. Those that are not on this list, are have their XP reduced periodcally by script, only if:
- Their current XP progress is >= 15%
- The current skill or stat is >= the limit set in config.
There are caveats around this approach, mainly that XP isn't really stopped, only controlled. A quest reward or skill book might shoot you past the desired limit, and there is no way to go back a level.
