The Wretch Class Mod

Description
"How many rats will it take to gnaw through a ton of putrid flesh?"

Introduction
------------------------------------------

The Wretch is a mod project that adds a brand new hero to Darkest Dungeon. This hero is completely custom, with all new sprites, skills, sounds, and animations, as well as a complete set of unique trinkets and color palettes.

The Wretch is a damage hero specializing in DOTs, blighting himself when taking damage while being able to transfer it to enemies or even his allies for various effects. He can be considered a tank, having high HP and a powerful self heal. His control over blight in combat makes him very risky, but rewarding when used properly.

"A disgraced aristocrat turned pauper, years of hardship have turned the Wretch into a walking plague. In combat, he revels in the spreading of blight, accumulating it on himself as he suffers hardship before unleashing his chittering horde to devastating effect. The Wretch is craven by nature, however, and can just as easily flee, or even put his allies in harm's way."

The buff by outsider's bonfire does work, it's a cosmetical thing. You can fix the text with this mod: "Better Outsiders Bonfire description"

I love this putrid pimp. My favorite team to run with him is Plague > Botanist > Wretch > Prince.

Peepz, how do you cure this guy if he has Crimson Curse?

His name does not show up in the Outsiders Bonfire description. Is it only a visual bug? Will he benefit from the district still? I haven't built it yet, but I've noticed this after adding the mod. I'm using the Falconer too and her name shows up among the vanilla heroes.

Wish we had more of these infested guys.

Hamlet was once ruled over by madness, blood lust, and twilight. Now it is home to Song, Stories, and Blight.
