Great Rune Overhaul
To put it simply, the gameplay effect and impact of Great Runes didn’t feel that great. This mod aims to improve that by adding passive effects to the Great Runes, making you gain permanent upgrades that stack with each other, creating some new character progression.
These are intended to be simple but fun upgrades, with a bit of a thematic connection, that won’t make your character overpowered even after getting multiple of them.
The new effects become active after you’ve activated the rune in the Divine Tower. The Great Rune then shows up as a status effects icon.
Rune of the Unborn from Rennala also has a passive bonus (which is active right away) for some added early game progression.
The mechanic of activating a Great Rune with a Rune Arc is still in and works like normal, meaning you can only have one active but they stack with all the new passive effects.
Rykard’s, Mohg’s and Malenia’s Rune Arc effects have also gotten tweaks or additional effects to make them more useful compared to the others.
