This is a rebalance mod that aims to make bad/unfun cards desirable, reduce a card's dependence on only being a good sacrifice, nerf some of the blatantly overpowered tactics, make bosses more interesting and challenging.Overveiw
Do vanilla cards feel dull in comparison to other mods? Do you dislike the idea of cards meant to be better than other ones? Did you ever want luck to be less of a factor? Did you ever think bone decks are too weak? Did you ever want harder bosses? If any of these statements are true then you're looking at the right mod for you! This is ReScribed, a rebalance mod that aims to make bad/unfun cards desirable, reduce a card's dependence on only being a good sacrifice, nerf some of the blatantly overpowered tactics, make bosses more interesting and challenging.
Disclaimer: this mod is mostly buffs, meaning your average card quality is much higher, encounters from my testing have only become a littler harder and bosses are far more difficult. The changes made here also affect act 1 and 2, but everything was designed for Kaycee's Mod.

Card Changes
| NAME | CHANGES | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Adder | Blood: 2 > 1 - Bones: 0 > 2 | generally only used for its sigil, tried to make it more fun to play with before that point by reducing the amount of blood needed. |
| Amoeba | Bones: 2 > 3 - Attack: 1 > 2 | getting a useless sigil won't feel as bad |
| Bat | Sigils: airborne > airborne & clinger | this is always been a weird card to try and change, give me feedback on how bat should be changed :) |
| Bloodhound | Health: 3 > 4 | for it's cost doesn't provide enough, the sigil gets it killed very fast and ultimately doesn't feel impactful later in the game. |
| Bullfrog | Health: 2 > 3 | making it the snapping turtle equivalent for one blood, now having a useful role. |
| Cat | Health 1 > 2 | same note as Adder |
| Coyote | Bones: 4 > 3 | overpriced for a relatively small impact. |
| Child 13 | Bones: 0 > 1 | spaming this card and buffing it won't be as easy to force a win anymore, having a bone cost means it can't be drawn as apart of fair hand. |
| Field Mice | Blood: 2 > 1 - Bones: 0 > 2 | same note as Adder |
| Ijiraq | Attack: 4 > 3 | i don't think anyone will complain about this one, even if you play this for 2 blood it's still crazy. |
| Magpie | Health: 1 > 3 | same note as Adder |
| Mantis God | Blood: 1 > 2 - Health: 1 > 3 | this is one of those cards that is so strong it's not fun, nerfing early palyability is the best way to stop it from being the best play choice at almost all times. |
| Mothman (stage 3 of strange larva) | Attack: 7 > 5 | the reward is far too big for waiting 2 turns, this won't affect many interactions but won't be much of an auto win for some battles. |
| Opossum | Sigils: none > bone digger | this card falls off heavily even after just the first map, so there's bone digger to smooth out bone decks or to transfer to other cards. |
| River Otter | Blood: 1 > 2 - Attack: 1 > 2 - Sigils: waterborne > waterborne & clinger | this card is not good nor fun, so it has increased attack and gave clinger to make it more interactive, also now having blood costs 1 to 3 for waterborne cards. Clinger will be explained in the stoat notes. |
| Rat King | Blood: 2 > 1 - Attack: 2 > 1 | smae note as Adder |
| Rattler | Health: 1 > 2 - Sigils: none > swapper | hard to work with for it's high cost, so with swapper allows for the ability to gain a lot of value, also introducing swapper as a sigil adds some fun combo opportunities. |
| Red Hart | Health: 2 > 4 | overall this card is jank city, i love it but it's bad, increasing the health helps give wiggle room to pull off combos. |
| Sparrow | Sigils: airborne > airborne & mighty leap | there are a lot of basic flyers, adding mighty leap helps give it an identity and more ways to combat flying cards. This change is very impactful in encounters. |
| Stoat | Sigils: none > clinger | similar to rattler, clinger provides fun opportunities for interactivity, also not useless anymore! |
| Vulture | Bones: 8 > 7 - Health: 3 > 4 - Sigils: airborne > airborne & Hefty | this card is no joke anymore, movement sigils are very underrated, especially on flying cards, this is something you just have to play with in game, this card does so much now. |
| Wolverine | Health 3 > 4 | felt lacking before but now has just enough health to feel impactful. |
Core Changes
Brood Parasite has been nerfed. the cracked egg turns into Maggots after 3 turns. this makes it so there isn't forever denial, it makes the interactions boring, so now it's rewarding to pull of combos because it's not a broken egg forever for long.
Boss Changes
| NAME | CHANGES/NOTES |
|---|---|
| Prospector | the changes listed make the beginning of the fight tighter, less cards are able to deal with the mule, overall does make chasing the mule more fun. Next phase is now more punishing if you didn't kill the mule. |
| Pack Mule | Attack: 0 > 1 - Sigils: sprinter > sprinter & made of stone |
| Bloodhound | Health: 3 > 4 |
| Gold Nugget | Health: 2 > 1 |
| Angler | you gotta earn your win man!!! |
| Bait Bucket | Sigils: none > mighty leap - passive ability: gained immune to items |
| River Otter | Blood: 1 > 2 - Attack: 1 > 2 - Sigils: waterborne > waterborne & clinger |
| Trapper | the trapper is easy, so let's make the boss a harder puzzle, now you may have a reason to skip trap triggers. Throw your powerful cards into the trap? or make more sacrifices than before. |
| Strange Frog | Health: 2 > 4 - Sigils: gained swapper and made of stone - passive ability: none > immune to items |
| Leaping Trap | passive ability: none > immune to items |
| Bullfrog | Health: 2 > 3 |
| alot of non rares | buffed |
| Leshy | these changes are in the hopes to make where and when you put your cards significantly more important, and to remove cheese |
| Moleman | Rare passive ability: none > immune to items |
| Mantis God | Health: 1 > 3 |
| Gold Nugget | Health: 2 > 1 |
| Moon | Attack 1 > 2 |
| Royal | These changes hope to make the royal a more interactive boss and an actual challenge, also the only practical way to kill the Mole Seaman is with the cannons, keep in mind the cannons only deal 10 damage >:) |
| Mole Seaman | Health: 8 > 18 (3X of moleman) - Sigils: gained made of stone - passive ability: none > immune to items |
| Skeleton Crew | Attack: 2 > 3 - Sigils: brittle > brittle & touch of death |
| Zombie Parrot | Attack: 2 > spilled blood - Health: 3 > 5 - Sigils: brittle & airborne > airborne & touch of death |
| Limoncello | Attack 2 > 3 |
