This is a lightweight RPG mod that allows you to gain levels in a variety of skills by doing things related to those skills, in the style of the Elder Scrolls and Rune Factory games. Leveling skills will grant small, relevant stat bonuses. Hit things with melee weapons and you'll do a little more damage with them. Take a lot of damage, and you'll see your maximum life and defense go up.
This mod includes a settings text file that allows you to modify the rate of exp gained and the magnitude of skill bonuses. There is also a flat adjustment that you can use to bring your combat stats up or down by a flat amount in order to adjust for the difficulty of your set of mods. This file can be found in your tModLoader folder after loading the mod for the first time: LBDsettings.txt. The way this file is read isn't particularly robust, so be sure not to change the format of the first three lines, and ensure the first three lines contain only numbers.
You can bind a hotkey in Settings > Controls in game that will allow you to view the current level of all your skills, as well as the bonuses they provide, and the progress to the next level.
Download is available on the mod browser.
I made this while procrastinating on a long essay that I really should have been doing instead. I don't have plans to expand this mod, but if there are any major bugs or imbalances that can't be addressed with the config file, I'll get around to them eventually.
