Diverse Weapons

I found the decision on what weapon to use pretty boring most of the time. It was almost always merely based on total damage with infrequent consideration to other factors. This mod simply aims to diversify the weapon bases a bit, making changes to damage type, base damage, crit chance/damage, cleave percent/angle, as well as adding small status effect chances to all weapon bases. I tried to make them as balanced as possible while also making each base feel like it has it's own "unique" feel and keep them, what I believe to be, thematic to the base type.

Disclaimer: while I tried to balance the stats among themselves, these changes are likely at least small buffs. If you think it makes the game too easy, I would recommend utilizing other mods that increase the game's difficulty. I play with A LOT of mods on, most of them making the game more difficult, as well as on honour mode, so I don't know how this feels for vanilla. Also, remember: enemy weapons will get these changes too.

These will affect the base of all vanilla weapons, so magic+ weapons will build on top of these. If another mod creates a new weapon base, this mod shouldn't affect those.

I also found runes to be rather boring, so I added small chances to inflict thematic status effects based on the rune base, with the severity and chance of inflicting each status growing alongside the rune size. I did not make any changes to the weapon % buffs or touch the armor or amulet buffs.

I wasn't a fan of the skills provided by the Source Orb and pretty much only utilized Mass Cleanse Wounds. So, I changed the amulet buff to provide Apotheosis and the weapon buff to provide Vampiric Hunger Aura. Now, I actually use them...
