Rebound Mod

Rebound Mod adds a projectile deflection system centered around skilled melee pawns, introducing a new trait and several configurable mechanics for rebounding or blocking incoming shots.

Rebound Features

Rebound Mod includes a new trait called Sword Master, which has a low natural chance to appear and can also be granted automatically when a pawn reaches 20 Melee skill.

In Rebound Mod, bullets can be rebounded when a pawn is equipped with a melee weapon. Player-controlled pawns must be drafted for this effect to work, while non-player pawns do not need to be drafted.

Only projectiles that would have actually hit the pawn can be rebounded.

The rebound chance in Rebound Mod is calculated as follows:

• Formula: 0.5 × manipulation value × (Melee skill ÷ 10).
• Example: With 105% manipulation and 18 Melee skill, the rebound chance is 0.5 × 1 × 1.8 = 0.9, or 90%.

Weapons in Rebound Mod can take durability damage when rebounding projectiles. The chance is calculated as:

• Formula: 0.4 ÷ (Melee skill ÷ 5).
• Each time damage occurs, the weapon loses 1 durability.
• When a weapon reaches 1 durability, it is automatically dropped to the ground to prevent destruction.

Projectiles that are too fast cannot be rebounded, but the speed limit can be changed in the mod settings.

Additional configurable features in Rebound Mod include:

• Projectile blocking: Option to block projectiles instead of rebounding them.
• Automatic trait gain: Setting to disable automatically receiving the rebound trait at Melee level 20.
• Base rebound chance: Can be adjusted in the settings.
• Weapon damage chance: Can be adjusted in the settings.
• Trait learning level: Can be changed, including support for mods that raise the maximum skill level.
• Trait extension support: Any trait can become a rebound trait through a mod extension.
• Trait Value support: Added compatibility with Trait Value Mod.
• Combat Extended support: Added CE support.
• Traditional Chinese translation: Included, thanks to shiuanyue.

Rebound Mod includes support for Combat Extended Mod, Trait Value Mod, and mods that increase the maximum level of skills.
