Instructions

Place in the Materials section just like any other script.

Under the module "Serpent_Var" (in the script) are the options. By default all varied stats are activated. To turn a part off, chance the respective option to "false". If you want a specific enemy to not have a stat varied, then put their ID# in the [] for the respective stat. Chance the amounts to the decimal number equivalent of the varying percent. Thus 10% would be 0.1.

Author's Notes

Considering making an option for varying the other stats of enemies (ATK/DEF/SPI/AGI/Crit).

i'd like a demo to see how the variant effects gameplay, please XD
you dont really have to...

great job!

This is cool mate!
I like the concept, especially the varied value of Gold and EXP.

 

[KaiserGustaf]

Whoa, this seriously helps a lot. Makes sense too, no way every slime in the world is in the same peak condition.

Is there a way to $callscript this thing to modify it in-game though? I've been thinking of having an accessory, when equipped, increases the variation in how much gold drops from a monster. Like a Lucky Charm or something.

Hmm, that's certainly a good idea. I'll look into it, but I can't guarantee success.
