Chuck Norse

Call Chuck Norse, Tenth Realm Ranger, down out of the sky. He follows you, fights beside you, and has opinions about the Tenth Realm. Only one of him can be out, and the call has a long cooldown.

A Valheim BepInEx 5 plugin built on Jotunn. Requires DFGHub for the shared board.

Features

• Ranger's Call, crafted at a workbench. The cast is the blood-magic troll summon. Chuck drops out of the sky.
• One at a time. A second call is refused while he is out, and the cooldown starts only when a summon actually goes off.
• He follows and fights. He is tamed to the summoner. The summoned troll's body is hidden; Chuck's own model rides on it, flaming sword in hand.
• He talks. A speech bubble over his head, on a timer, and he does not repeat a line until he has been through the list.
• A status card on the left while he is out: his mood, a timer, and his health. Hold Alt and drag the header to move it.
• Upgrades on the DFG board (Alt+T, Chuck Norse tab): Vigor, Might, Endurance, Readiness, and Fleetfoot, paid in coins and gated by rank.
• Lightning when he dies or his time runs out, borrowed from the Obliterator.

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jotunn (2.30.x)
• DFGHub
• Valheim 1.0.16+

Installation

1. Install through your mod manager (recommended).
2. Manual: place ChuckNorse.dll, ChuckN.glb, and the icons folder into BepInEx\plugins\ChuckNorse\.

How to Use

1. Craft Ranger's Call at a level 2 workbench: 10 Fine Wood, 4 Troll Hide, 6 Leather Scraps, 100 Coins.
2. Equip it and cast. Chuck falls in and follows you.
3. Open the DFG board with Alt+T and pick the Chuck Norse tab to spend coins on his upgrades.
4. Type chuck_ready in the F5 console to clear the cooldown.

Configuration

com.dfg.chucknorse.cfg

• Summon — cooldown, how long he stays, health, damage, height, the weapon he holds, and how often he talks.
• Crafting — the staff recipe and workbench level. A change here needs a restart.
• Upgrades — kills per rank, coin costs, and what each level adds.
• HUD — show or hide the status card, and where it sits. Hold Alt and drag the header; the position is saved.
