It turns out though that the game is only built for very specific angles of those 2 extra projectiles: it can only go in 45 degree increments. I then tried to make those 2 extra projectiles lock onto random targets and failed miserably, once again due to limitations of the game. I finally settled on a compromise that actually makes Multishot a pretty good skill: you now have 4 extra arrows -- 2 fire at 45 degree angles and remain fairly useless, while 2 more fire perpendicularly to you (remember I'm limited to 45 degree angles) and are actually extremely useful albeit entirely unrealistic. Oh well -- at least it's worth investing in.

EDIT: My ancient laptop's fan died, so until I get the new replacement fan, you can expect either few updates to the mods or very minor updates. Sorry.

BTW I posted the first version of the companion mod in the Extra Balance Mod thread. Check it out if you want changes that are a little more experimental and somewhat more game-changing (possibly. No promises ).

> from ProjTrapLightningBallRandom to ProjShockBoltStraight, shoot 3 arrows, first in direction and two at random with nice moves or all at random if prefer, look more magical and work better for me
