Class Rework

Description
This mod changes the balance of all game classes, except classes from the DLC.
- All resistances are changed. Characters gain increased resistance to stun, move, debuff, poison, and bleed effects if they apply these effects themselves.
- Armored heroes (Arbalest, Bounty hunter, Crusader, Leper and Vestal) now have PROT-bonus +10%. It can be increased to 20%.
- Many of the classes changed damage values. Most of the characters began to beat harder (except leper - his damage was reduced).
- Also reworked many of the skills - changed the modifiers for damage and critical strike chance, effects, starting and target positions.
- The range of attacks now depends on the type of weapon. Heroes with short one-handed weapons are able to strike only positions 1-2 from positions 1-2 (except for the attacks with moving forward, which can have a greater range). The attack radius for heroes with two-handed weapons (crusader, leper and hellion) extended – those heroes can strike positions 1-3.
The type of weapon also affects enemy attacks. Enemies will no longer be able to sit in the back rows, beating our heroes with clubs and daggers. Using a melee attack from 3-4 positions, monsters have to move forward.
- Changed the system of obtaining quirks:
Many quirks that before (contrary to logic) coexisted, became incompatible. Photo-maniac will not be afraid of the light, but also can not become a night owl. Beast slayer can't get zoophobia. A hero who prefers only to pray will not be able to benefit from the use of a brothel or gambling hall.
Some manias also will conflict to each other - for example, a hero who loves cleanness will not be interested in rotting corpses. A character who believes in his own obsession will stay away from sacred objects. Ego-maniac will not suffer from a complex of guilt.
Characters also will not get bonuses or penalties to skills which they do not have. A hero fighting only with melee weapons will not gain range quirks. A character who cannot heal, will not receive quirks related to healing.
Some classes will be immune to certain quirks. Crusader and vestal will not be afraid of the undeads, because they used to fight with them; houndmaster will not be afraid of beasts and so on. Religious heroes can't become faithless.
Some positive quirks will appear with increased chance.

ok

Resolute Zealot , it's all right, it was meant to be. This skill should not remove all corpses, but only the corpse of the enemy killed by a grave robber (or the corpse she'll hit).

graverobber clear all corpses (grave digger) doesnt work

To sum it up, for me its Crusader, Maa, Pd and Vestal who form a kickass rockband together directly or they can make any party they belong to much stronger, which makes me a fan of this mod overall.
Other variations of heroes range from okay to bad, tho.

Hi, is possible to have the changes to the mechanics wihout the changes to the hero skills?
Manvod  [author] Aug 6, 2019 @ 8:31am 
Jaggid Edje, you're right. I wasn't planning on doing anything like this, so this is a random bug that will be fixed. Thank you for your attention to this mod.

There's an error in the base.effects.darkest file in your mod for the antiquarian dodge buff. Rank 4 of the skill is a better buff then the rank 5. I think you meant to have the progression go up 2.5 each rank, but accidentally typed 17.5 instead of 12.5 for the 4th level of the buff.
You don't mention changes to that skill in the mod description, but it is changed.

admiralbiatch2 ,“Lick wounds” cures only slightly worse, but it has another nice feature - increasing damage. So, it still useful skill. Not enough to fully restore health, but acceptable to not die on the battlefield (and what other healing abilities do you expect from a DOG?).
The number of restored hitpoints for the "battlefield bandage" is the same as in the original game. But the “stacking heal” bonus I took from the Arbalest and gave to Vestal - she needed it more ;) . After all, Arbalest is not a professional doctor, but only knows how to give first aid.
As for trinkets, now I'm working on the rebalance of all the class trinkets. And all the skill changes that have appeared in "Class Rework" will be reflected in this new mod.

I do like the improvements given to many skills on this mod, but I am wondering if it's a good idea that Lick Wounds is lowered heavily since I don't want it to be too useless and there are trinkets specific to the Houndmaster that include healing skills. Similar to the Arbalest and Musketeer, I hope that Battlefield Bandage can still restore HP since both classes have trinkets specific to them that include healing skills. It's also worth mentioning that the class trinket sets of the classes mentioned have healing skills tied to them as well.
