Summary
Mods "[Magiclysm] Reduce effect of Gaia's Chosen thorns"
Purpose of change
Gaia's Chosen has a thorns effect that does a flat 22 damage (more than a KA-BAR knife), passively, to anyone who hits you. Normal zombies will die in four hits, and even stronger zombies will crumble pretty quickly. Couple that with their protective spell and you don't even need to hit tab, you can just pass turns with . and hordes will kill themselves as they attack you, completely eliminating the limitation of mana as a resource.
It's too much, even for an attunement.
Also, the design docs say
And that part was not implemented.
Describe the solution
Reduce and randomize the damage from thorns--now it does 3-12 damage and only triggers 50% of the time. In addition, add an enchant that Gaia's Chosen suffers 15% increased pain. Add a line to the trait warning about increased pain.
