Monster Level Up

Monsters need EXP too!

This is a very small mod that allows monsters, including your pets and tames, to have a chance to level up when killing other monsters.

Why would I use this mod?

• When factions fight each other, the victorious faction will have thinned numbers but the survivors will be stronger, adding some more challenge.
• Your pets will get some experience from fighting other creatures or defending your base, allowing them to level up and get stronger.
• Tougher creatures are guaranteed to level up the monster that killed them, resulting in some interesting faction power dynamios.

Configuration

Configuration is extremely simple.

Max Level

The highest level that creatures can get to when killing other creatures. Default is 3 (two stars) but can be made higher.

Base Level Up Chance

This is the chance that a creature will level up on killing another creature.

Bonus Level Up Chance

If a creature kills a higher level monster, this value is added to the base chance. If they kill a lower level monster, this value is subtracted form the base chance instead.

Player Faction Creatures Can Level

If set to true, yuur pets and tames can level up when killing creatures. Can be disabled if this is too OP (and probably is).

Guaranteed Level Up Creatures

A list of creatures that, if one is killed by another creature, will bypass all level up checks and guarantee a level up, so long as the creature is not already at the max level.

Examples

Assuming max level is 3, base level up chance is 25%, and bonus chance is 25%:

• A level 1 skeleton kills a level 1 greydwarf. The skeleton will have a 25% chance to gain a level.
• A level 1 greydwarf kills a level 1 abomination. Since the abonmination is a guaranteed level up kill, the greydwarf will level up.
• A level 1 troll kills a level 3 skeleton. The troll has a 25% base chance plus a 25% bonus chance to level up, resulting in an overall 50% chance to level up.
• A level 2 skeleton kills a level 1 boar. The base level up chance is 25%, but a 25% bonus chance is subtracted since the skeleton was a higher level, meaning it will never level up.
• A level 3 fuling shaman kills a gjall. Since the gjall guarantees a level up on kill, the shaman would usually gain a level - but it's already maced out, so it cannot level up more.

Notes

Some creatures are not affected by this mod. This includes the player character and all creatures marked as a boss.
