The Mercenary Mod

An outcast dwarf arrives at the Hamlet, seeking a fortune to large enough to restore her honor, no matter the cost to herself. A powerful and versatile fighter, this Mercenary daughter of an Arms Dealer becomes even stronger with the promise of a hefty paycheck on her return to the surface.

=====Overview=====


Based on Namari from the Manga and Anime Dungeon Meshi, the Mercenary is a tanky and adaptable fighter with the unique trait of all her skills increasing in power as you gain different types of currency.

The current list of supported currencies is:
Vanilla gold and gems, Antiquarian relics, and CoM Shards
Sunward Gems
Talon Brigand Feathers
Practitioner Artifacts
Privateer Loot
Picaroon Doubloons
Gem Hunter Gems

This mod does not condone nor condemn the content of these mods or the opinions of their creators and visa versa. None of the mod support will never be removed for any reason.

She brings no provisions.

On Crit, the Mercenary gains +1 Speed and +5% Prot per Currency Type in Inventory

She is not religious and uses the Training Ring.

Her Camping Skills provide powerful buffs for her and her teammates, but some help her far more than her coworkers.

=====Other=====

I'd prefer if you ask if you want to upload this mod anywhere else or make changes to it, but I really don't mind as long as I'm credited.

I wanted her gimmick to go off total amount of gold value, but the way Darkest Dungeon is programmed doesn't allow that, coding a buff for each separate item id is hell, but I will do it all again if you point out another mod currency I missed.

The only reason her class title is Mercenary is that Soldier of Fortune is too long for the UI

Renegotiate payment used to use currency buffs, but for some reason that's the one part of the game that crashed when it reads an id it doesn't recognize. I figured mod compatibility was more important, so it was made more boring.

The Electric Wind Dwarf Fist started off as a joke by the artist, but I ended up liking it so much that I made if official.

Since she's a side character, I had to pull most of her dialogue from outside sources, mostly DRG, Boatmurdered, WC3, WoW, The Hobbit, my boomer-ass taste in music, a few from Tomo-Chan, and somehow even EYE: Divine Cybermancy. You'd better believe she's has been flanderized as a leg fetishist.

Laios' fake Leg Pouches buff is now real with the release of this mod, have fun figuring out how exactly it works. It's also easily replicated for use on other mods, but telling how will give it away, contact me if you need to know for crossmodding.
