[WotC] Richards Classes (3 Perks per level PLUS LW2 Weapons) [Old, Unsupported]

A collection of my classes combined to work with the WotC Expansion which takes advantage of a 3 tree promotion screen (see required items) and the LW2 Secondary Weapon port by shiremct. This is based on my LW Perk Pack class pack. Please note that this pack will stay combined as it is easier for me to edit so please just disable the classes you don't want (see below).

This also disables the Vanilla WotC classes so please check the contents to find out how to re-enable them in the config.

1/ Class Summaries

As this mod uses 3 perk trees and the New Promotion Screen it will just be easier for me to post perk details in the discussions. So please check there for more info on classes.

i. The Assassin
The Assassin uses Stealth, Swordplay and Sniping to hunt down individual targets. This class is built in mind to lie in ambush and seize opportunities to ambush enemies.

ii. The Demolitions
The Demolitions mixes CQB combat with explosive deployment. They have the explosive capabilities of a grenadier but can also serve in mid to short range combat.

iii. The Gunner
The Gunner does what you expect, they use the cannon to deploy heavy fire. They have a wide range of perks allowing them to take multiple shots, deal lots of damage and provide support fire.

iv. The Mage
A Psionic class designed to level up like a normal soldier. I don’t like the way the Psionic soldiers level up and I under use them a lot. As a counter balance, this unit cannot learn all the psionic abilities. Feel free to disable this class if it doesn’t fit your game.

v. The Marksman
The Marksman is a sniper focused soldier. They are built with the XCOM EU Sniper in mind but also retain some of the Sharpshooter style gameplay.

vi. The Medic
Medics can deploy advanced medical care with the use of Medikits and select training. They excel at watching over the squad & are essential to keeping allies alive.

vii. The Raider
The Raider is a highly aggressive class built to fight up close and personal. They use the Shotgun & Sword.

viii. The Rifleman
The Rifleman is the grunt soldier of this pack. They can fight aggressively, easily taking enemy positions with assault tactics or fight more conservatively/defensively in the mid ground.

ix. The Scout
The Scout is a bit of a wildcard and very easy to overextend in battle. They can use stealth to spy on enemies, diversionary tactics to distract & evade foes and are master gunslingers able to pull of powerful pistol attacks and even kill from concealment.

x. The Survivalist
The Survivalist is a jack of all trades type. They can use any (non-hero) primary weapon and have a mixed perk set that allows them to be versatile and stay alive. They cannot specialize in anything but are the most flexible class in this pack.

xi. The SWAT
The SWAT is an aggressive unit best used on the frontlines. They can get up close to enemies to take them out, distract enemies with evasive perks and utilize tactical gear to support the squad if needed.

xii. The Technician
The Technician is the primary hacking unit in this pack and a very useful support tool. Using the gremlin, they can buff allies and debuff enemies, providing a variety of perks for players to utilize.
