Class genders

[Anna :)]

Is there/is it possible to make a mod adding female or male versions of every class?

[Mazz]

well if we're going to start a collection here's a female occultist

There's also the Offering mod class, apparently she's identical to the occultist.

It is very well possible, by means of skin/color swap and/or creating new classes. Several of class mod works already have something similar. Also Sensaiga have one 2, the occultist (link above), and female Jester.

However... it is not very easy. Need the talent like Sensaiga, and lots efforts.
Feel free to take your shot and make a mod for it. :)

Some of the classes just simply do not make sense being male/female. The Crusaders was not female. A Vestil will never be male. Just because you can make female/male versions of characters does not mean it is a good choice, doing something for the sake of it isn't really a good justification. However, since we are talking about mods and not game development do whatever, but it doesn't make sense. The role of the man in the past used to be to go to war and fight for a reason (they are expendable), the male body is better built for fighting which is why it makes more sense that the heros are mostly men. If you want to be realistic there should maybe only exist 2-3 female classes in this game. Women typically only fought on the defensive and when there was no men to gather.

I think you're too heavily applying real world historical statistics to a game involving Eldritch horror and alchemy.

Yeah we're not not doing this because of historical accuracy. Drop that, no one is citing that as a reason for not making opposite gender mods. It's simply effort and that it takes a lot. You have men that are magical and women that fight in this game too without mods. I think gender adds variety and I'd love to see a male grave robber.

Where is the +1 button here

I'd love to see some alt gender classes, especially highwaywoman and Woman at Arms.

Also, am I the only one who wouldn't hesitate to ask a female Abomination out to dinner?

Females can't be strong and muscular enough?

Joan of Arc would like to have a word with you.

And I see there is already Shieldmaiden mod out there.

Also cthulu doesn't really exist, a town in which a blight upon the land based on said conceptual creation doesn't exist. Animated necro skeletons and their requisite necromantic cult followers and sorcerers do not exist. Do not apply whatever earthen historical references you have to this game. It is a work of fiction and that is established when you run the game, at the starting intro screens.

Speaking of necromancy tho, this thread is a big one. I am not responsible for that necromancy I simply replied to what I thought was a current thread I had forgotten or something.
