Bloodline Weapon Abilities

## Bloodline Weapon Abilities

Heavy weapons, parries, ripostes and stance switching added to Narrative Pro's GAS combat.

Adds new Gameplay Abilities and weapon item types to the combat and inventory modules; existing framework weapons keep working untouched.

## Highlights

• Greatsword, spear and dual-wield ability sets with full montage and warp setup.
• Parry and riposte windows exposed as attributes, so difficulty tuning is data.
• Stance switching that swaps the ability set and the animation layer together.
• Enemy reaction hooks so stock framework NPCs answer parries correctly.

## Narrative Pro modules extended

• **Combat** - Gameplay Ability System melee, firearm and magic.
• **Animation** - Motion Matching blended with weapon logic.
• **Inventory** - Extensible inventory tied to combat and abilities.

## Installing into an existing Narrative Pro project

1. Copy `NP_Bloodline` into `YourProject/Plugins/`. 2. Enable **NP_Bloodline** in Edit > Plugins, next to Narrative Pro, and restart the editor. 3. Follow the two-page setup guide - one component or one data asset, depending on the feature.

That is the whole installation. Every listing must be a drop-in plugin that extends Narrative Pro and runs against a stock Narrative install.

## Compatibility

• **Narrative Pro 2.2, 2.1** - tested against each release listed, on a stock install.
• Unreal Engine 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, matching the engine those Narrative Pro releases target.
• No Narrative Pro source files are modified, and no other paid addon is required.
