One question: Would it be advisable for a relative newbie (played the game 3 years ago) to use your mod?
I just started with a probably non-optimal party (Valkyrie, Monk, Bard, Gadgeteer, Alchemist, Bishop) and was a bit surprised by the amount and level of monsters that I encountered in the monastery (several feys, rats, rogues, etc.). Needless to say that I did not survive long...
Anyway, the mod sounds interesting, more gadgets would be cool, mini-bosses too, but if the level of difficulty stays the same I think I will stay with the original game.
