Oathbound Exp Share

Oathbound Exp Share is a companion mod for LionAndOtter's Oathbound RPG mod in Valheim.

In base Oathbound, experience points (EXP) are granted strictly to the player who delivers the fatal blow to an enemy. This mod solves that limitation by introducing smart, configurable group and party EXP sharing so everyone playing together can progress their classes together!

Features

⚔️ Damager EXP Share: Any player (or summon) who dealt damage to the monster receives experience when it dies.
🏹 Proximity / Distance Share: Players within a configurable distance (default: 50 meters) receive experience even if they didn't directly hit the mob (ideal for party members, healers, or teammates assisting).
🛡️ No Double-Dipping: Each player is credited once per monster kill. If a player both damaged the monster and was nearby, they receive the highest qualifying reward.
⚡ Seamless & Safe: Uses Oathbound's native network reward packets (Warrior_Reward_1). It never modifies or tampers with the original WarriorRpg.dll files, keeping your installation safe through future Oathbound updates.
⚙️ Fully Configurable: Easily tweak sharing radius, EXP percentages, or turn off specific modes via BepInEx config.
