Characters

Wolfgang

Toroic's Wolfgang rework has been added as a base part of Uncompromising Mode! (Wolfgang changes are now a toggleable option)

BUFFS:

• Wolfgang can now carry heavy objects on his back at normal speed and with his hands free while mighty.
• Wolfgang now ignores the speed penalties from piggyback and marble armor while not wimpy.
• Wolfgang is much faster at carrying sculptures and marble pieces while in normal form. (45% normal speed instead of 15% normal speed)
• Wolfgang's rowing is much stronger while mighty.
• Transforming animations can be cancelled by moving. (Credit to Rezecib for the code)
• Hunger drain in Mighty form now tops out at 2x instead of 3x.
• Wolfgang's damage uses the same scaling while mighty but normal form is now 1.25x.

NERFS:

• Wolfgang's size and speed are now a consistent 1x. Items no longer grow when he uses them while mighty, and he no longer has a speed boost while mighty or slowdown while wimpy.
• His health does not increase above 200 while in mighty form.
• His maximum sanity was nerfed to 150 instead of 200.
• Wolfgang loses sanity at 1.3x the normal rate instead of 1.1x from darkness and insanity auras.
