I've tried my best to make the icon color system simple. The icons roughly categorize the modifiers as:

• Potion: Monster damage applied to another player stat
• Broken Shield: Monster ignores armor or breaks shield
• Apple: Monster has food drain
• Sword: Monster attack is infused
• Circle: Monster has shield
• Asterisk: Monster has Soul Eater
• Plus Square: Monster has improved attribute
• Shield: Monster has immunnity
• Skull: Monster spawns something on death

Modifier Mechanics

Elemental Infusions (Fire, Frost, Poison, Lightning)

• The damage of the infusion is equal to 50% of player-damage types in the creatures current attack. Chop, pickaxe, and spirit are non-player damage types so they are removed.
• For example, a troll attack does 60 Blunt, 100 Chop, 40 Pickaxe with 0 stars and standard world level. That's 60 player-damage.
• If this troll has Fire Infused, then it will do an additional 30 fire damage when attacking.
• The final attack will be 60 blunt damage + 30 fire damage.

Death Spawns (Fire, Frost, Frost)

• Death spawn damage is 50% of creatures highest attack damage value.
• Most Valheim creatures have multiple attacks available to them. Death spawn uses the highest available attack value.
• If a creature has no attacks (ex. Deer) then it's death spawn damage is 10.

Heal Death

• Heals both player and nearby monsters.
• Heal amount is 75% of modified monsters max health.
• Healing will tick 10 times, where each tick is equal to total heal amount divided by 10.

Blood Loss

• When a monster with blood loss attacks the player, the player will receive a "Blood Loss" status effect.
• While having this status effect, each attack monster attack will increase the total Blood Loss amount on the player. The amount of increase is equal to the creatures attack damage.
• The Blood Loss amount is shown below the Blood Loss status effect icon
• When Blood Loss amount exceeds players max health, they will take 30% of their max health as Slash damage.
• Blood Loss amount will reset to 0 after one minute.

Compatibility

This mod is mostly compatible with CreatureLevelandLootControl (CLLC).

• Not compatible with CLLC special effects and infusions. Disable these in the CLLC config file.
• CLLC max monster level cap works fine. I encourage using this feature to increase total modifiers per monster!

Commands

The mod includes a terminal command to spawn a creature with given modifier.

• The command is modifier
• The command takes two parameters: creatureName and modifierName
• The creatureName should be the name of the creatures prefab.
• Both parameters are case sensitive (i.e "skeleton" will not work)
• Modifier names are written in PascalCase with no spaces. (i.e. "FireInfused" is correct. "Fire infused" is wrong)
• The command will always spawn a one star monster.
• Example: modifier Skeleton FireInfused

Credit & Thanks

This was a complex software project and I couldn't have done it without the help of the following mod developers:

• Coemt: Thank you for teaching me the fundamentals.
• Oriana: Thank you for accompanying me late into the night solving problems in this mod.
• Azumatt: Thank you for helping me solve my sprite problems.

Known Issues

• There is a list of yellow warnings from Unity about incorrect shaders at the beginning of your log. This does not cause any game breaking bugs, just an warning.
• I've removed the shieldDome modifier until I can solve a bug where it remains after a creature dies in a multiplayer scenario.
