ORIGINS PATCH NOTES

This patch brings with it a MAJOR overhaul of the origins. Instead of having a single layer of Species, we now have two layers, Species and Archetypes. This allows you to mix and match for a vast increase in unique origin power sets! This is a COMPLETE rewrite of the mod, removing just about every legacy origin and all secrets previously included.

Please note, in this version, elytra flying is disabled for all origins due to the apocalypse. This will be changed in 4.0.0 proper.

Without further ado: Human Unchanged

Elf Removed night vision. Replaced Dislike of Underground with an inability to use shields. The debuff was inconsistent and weird. An inability to use shields seems still thematic while being more simple and consistent. The night vision removal is due to archetypes being the ones to give night vision.

Dwarf Removed night vision

Halfling Unchanged

Tabaxi Unchanged

Viera Swapped reduced max health for increased damage taken. I know I keep waffling on this, but I am of the mind that this is the better route now

Scarecrow Unchanged

Changeling Removed temporarily while some complexities regarding archetypes are worked out Size changing is complex

Villager Moved to Archetype It was pointed out to me that pillager is more of a profession, and if pillager is a profession, so is villager

Aasimar Removed The last vestige of the angel falls. For something similar, try a Lightbringer Aaracokra!

Demon Removed

Aaracokra Added increased damage taken Aaracokra was still a little too good.

Noctua Removed The aaracokra variants are being removed and much of their power is being turned into archetypes. This essentially makes aaracokra variants more numerous, not less.

Corvid Removed

Hominapium Removed bad meat digestion Added damage in rain Added worse swimming The hominapium, for being largely unchosen, had almost no downsides. Also, the poor meat digestion reminded me why food restrictions are a terrible idea. Therefore, the debuffs now fit more with a common bee plight: water

Inevitable Made Judge Jury Executioner actually work Added Bane of Everything Added Close the Distance Added reduced fire damage Added a greater monster detection range Added villager hatred Added Immutable The inevitable was already very good, but it felt like it needed a bit more in the tank. Well, it got it now. Three different damage buffs that all stack and the ability to pursue much more. The extra debuffs may not even be enough to keep this monstrously powerful origin balanced.

Myconid Removed. A spiritual successor is an archetype.

Anura Now recovers hydration when in rain! Increased lung capacity may be bugged, will continue observation. ... how would you not get wet in rain???

Satyr Unchanged

Piglin Removed Bastion Regular Added Necrophobia There was a bit of an oversaturation of origins that hated swimming. This replaces it with a slightly more thematic downside. Also, Bastion Regular was way too strong and got cut.

Pillager Moved to Archetype Fixed One of the Raiders Removed crossbow bonus Removed the extra golem, player, and villager damage Added the ability to hold a banner in the offhand for a damage boost Read Villager

Dragonblood Moved to Archetype No longer an evolving origin Can now use shields Gained the evolved version's dragon fireball Gained the evolved version's dragon egg duplication Gained the evolved version's dragon egg defensiveness Evolving origins are, almost by definition, stronger than the base. This results in either an OP evolution or a painful pre-evolution. As a result, the evolution is removed.

Star Reworked. Again. Thrust removed Wings now work in all dimensions Can now self-levitate Removed Sweeping Melody Removed Shabriri Grape Removed Fear of Silence Removed Off-Putting Now takes increased fire damage and cannot stop burning without water. Fifth time is the charm...

Modron Removed at least temporarily. I hope I can make the Modron work with archetypes, but I can't be sure.

Blaze Guardian Unchanged

Revenant Moved to Archetype

Stray Removed. Many powers reused in archetypes.

Wraith Moved to Archetype

Ogre Simplified and streamlines many powers, while updating description.

Vampyre Moved to archetype. Rewor... wait, vampyre wasn't reworked for once??? HALLALUJAH!
