Description
The mod that adds RPG Mechanics to Starbound!
This mod adds the ability to raise stats and make your character stronger. Defeating monsters grants experience and raises your level. Allocate stat points, unlock techs and weapons, and choose a Profession, Affinity, and Specialization as you level up.

The Mysterious Book acts as the UI for raising stats, among other things.
Craft it from your personal crafting menu, OR to access it without needing an item, download QuickBar Mini: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1088459034

Patreon and Discord
I am currently working on a game, which means updates will be sparse. However, getting donations will help me continue to update this mod. If you would like to donate, visit my patreon: https://www.patreon.com/IcyVines

Mechanics!
  • Monsters drop experience orbs that are used to raise your level. Utilize the Mysterious Book, with its various (lettered) tabs, to access most of the important mechanics.
  • Overview Tab (O): view basic information.
    • Toggle Classic Mode for a more classic RPG experience.
    • Toggle Rally Mode for a more difficult experience.
  • Stats Tab (S): view and raise 7 unique stats!
  • Class Tab (C): view and choose between 6 classes, and unlock Class Techs and Weapons.
  • Profession Tab (P): view and choose between multiple professions (some are disabled).
  • Specialization Tab (Z): view and choose between multiple specializations (some are disabled).
  • Affinity Tab (A): view and choose between 4 elemental affinities.
  • Skill Tab (K): improve your character with unique skills.
  • Upgrade Tab (U): view and unequip Upgrade Chips.
    • Upgrade Chips are equipped by using them as a consumable.
  • Mastery Tab (M): convert bonus XP to Mastery, Prestige, or purchase the Mastery Shop.
  • Info Tab (I): see your character's current statistics, such as element resistances.
  • Lore Tab (L): view an in-game changelog, interesting lore, and credits for the mod.

Note: in order to use Techs that require the [G] or [H] keys, denoted by Special Action 2 or 3, you must configure that key in your controls configuration.

To Be Added
  • Additional Professions and Specializations.
  • Balancing Changes.
  • Additional Skills.
  • Unique Quest-lines.
  • Missions and Raid Bosses.
As stated in the Patreon and Discord section above, working on this mod takes a lot of time, and as I am currently working on a game, updates will be sparse. Getting financial support will definitely help with continuing mod development.

Compatibility
  • Yes, this mod should work with Frackin Universe.
  • If there are any problems, just tell me. I will fix them as soon as possible.

Admin Commands
  • XP can be spawned using "/spawnitem experienceorb (amount)".
    • Replace "(amount)" with a number of your choosing!
  • Stats can be spawned via 'stat'point, where 'stat' is replaced with the stat name.
    • eg. Use "/spawnitem dexteritypoint (amount)" to spawn Dexterity.
  • The Mysterious Book can be spawned by typing "/spawnitem RPGskillbook".
  • Freezing Currency with a Cheat Engine can prevent the Mysterious Book from opening due to a currency used to ensure the book is only ever opened once.

Please enjoy, and tell me if you have any suggestions or concerns about leveling! Please also report any bugs or errors that occur (in the Bugs and Balance Discussion Board), so that I may fix them!

Greetings!
Can you make a "classic mode" version with a reduced damage multiplier for out-of-class weapons instead of a full damage limitation?
500 Leaf Lovers May 20 @ 4:05pm

you need a compatibility mod for this to work nice with openstarbound

Anyone tried it with openstarbound? Most techs do not seem to work, for example Elemental Overcharge and Translocate.

Celepito:
Levels have a cap, but Prestiging (level 50) gives you 2 extra skill points and im PRETTY sure that can technically go up to infinity
Celepito Apr 25 @ 2:08pm 
Do Stats have a cap, or could you theoretically put all your points into one stat? (Not saying thats optimal or anything, mostly just curious.)
