RPG Overhaul - Guardsmen and Kasrkin Specializations

Description
Features
This specialization pack adds 2 additional specializations from the Kasrkin and Guardsman class mods by Rookie Slime and ultimentra (and one perk from Long War 2) to Musashi's fantastic RPG Overhaul mod. These specializations contain 14 perks which were not previously available in RPG Overhaul.

Specializations
Guardsman
When using the Guardsman's special shots Hot Shot, Overcharge, and Meltagun, be aware that these will overheat the soldier's weapon. While all of these attacks are very powerful and don't end the turn (making it possible to shoot multiple times every turn), the overheated weapon causes offense and defense penalties for 2 turns. This effect can stack!

I realize that this specialization may be overpowered. If you think the balance is off, I am open to feedback.

Known issues
  • Some people have had problems when installing new RPG Overhaul plugins and adding them to existing campaigns, so do this at your own risk. To make sure the perk trees are updated correctly, I highly recommend using shiremct's mod [WOTC] Additional Soldier Console Commands. To rebuild your soldier's perk trees with this mod, go into their armory screen and use the console command "RebuildSelectedSoldiersClass" to refresh the perks and keep the soldier's rank the same.
  • Under certain conditions, the Minefield perk adds more mines than intended (one more, not game-breaking).

Thanks and Credits
Musashi for making RPG Overhaul.
Rookie Slime and ultimentra for making and giving me permission to use the original mod.
Pavonis Interactive for making Long War 2 and all the perks that came with it.
Ketaros for the new class icons.
Paddy11B for providing some awesome screenshots of his Guardsmen and Kasrkin.
Mister Gruffle on Youtube for this fantastic XCOM 2 series which inspired me to start making mods.

The perk trees have not yet been extensively tested and balanced. They are therefore subject to change.

Yeah, this one is pretty nuts. The overheat ones are fine, but all the passives are pretty overpowered.

Phew, after going through about 100 mods, turns out this was the culprit. No HUGE deal, but for some reason, this mod adds a blank, no text, no cost tactic/ability UI box element to the "GTS" facility right at the very top of the selection. I have just ignored it for now, AFAICT it's not doing anything else functionally wrong to the game thus far.

If you're talking about NPSBD, you might want to consider reading RPGO's description. Just deactivate it and you're done.

you might want to consider the mod not being dependant on [WOTC] LW2 Classes and Perks since one of its mods is dependant on a mod that conflicts with RPGO

Something for the devs:
Uses XModBase 2.0.1

Could it be upgraded to 2.0.2 or later? Otherwise this mod will be undoing a Highlander fix:

Sorry for the presumption though it was based off of you perk pack for some reason. also hotshot works fine now thanks for the quick change

Updated the mod:

The Guardsman's special shots should now be useable at Squadsight range.

@tcmdan When you have time, could you check if it's working for you?
bstar  [author] Jun 23, 2020 @ 11:30am 
Since I did not develop the original class mods, I can't say whether that was intended or not. It's not unusual for special shots to not be useable at Squadsight range. However, because the Guardsman has access to Squadsight, it would probably make sense for the special shots to be able to utilize it.
lyra_tcm Jun 22, 2020 @ 5:55pm 
On the description for hotshot it doesn't mention that it had a range/ can't be active in squadsight range, is this intended?
SabaraOne Apr 13, 2020 @ 6:23pm 
Hey, we do what we can, right? I confirm they're fixed for someone who's not you.
