Description
Shield Maiden - Class Mod
====================================

“Come, stand behind me. I shall shield you from harm and despair.”

The Shield Maiden of No’Caliath comes from a proud and honor lineage. In time of war, they are the unbroken shield that guarded their fellow brother and sisters. In time of dire needs, they aid the clan through mending touches and self-sacrifice. With the foul and menacing threat from beneath the manor, the Shield Maiden once again answers the call, joining the rank to combat this evil. Their motto, “Long as I stand, no one should fall,” rings loud and true once more.



Role:
Shield Maiden offers great defensive support to any party. Even more than men-at-arm, they specialized in tanking and guarding their ally. While at first onlook, they may appear lacking offensive prowess, but with certain build and team comp, they can still be build for damage output. They also offer quite a bit of healing power, but that often come with limits.


====================================

Design Note:
Finally bring back the long buried Shield Maiden into the fold. (She was out from several several updates ago, maybe 2 or so years ago?). Reworked not only several of her skills (since many of her skills and role got evolved into Martyr), but also her look (ditching the Holy-Sister theme and take on more of Viking feel). However, still kept the original skin in there, for anyone whole like the the older look.

====================================

Skills:

-Cross Blade: Basic attack.
-Front Guard: Guard 2 targets
-Ram Shield: A Attack that move forward, with chance of pushing enemy back.
-Avenger: Active a riposte that give her more attack when get hit.
-Guardian: Guard and heal target a small amount.
-Mending Touch: Very strong heal, but with limited use and only at rank 4.
-Indomitable: Self buff and heal.

====================================

Playing Tips:

-Chain Avenger with a Guard, to help booster her damage output.
-Change her skill up depend on the situtation of the Party. If need healing, use Mending Touch for few combat.
-"Another mod class" could combo well with Ram Shield.
-A good skill combo could be mending touch > Guardian > Ram Shield. This provide a good heal, guard, and damage, as well as end her back in Pos 1.

Hi. The character works fine mechanically. I am getting a bug where none of her actions have sound. Anyone else see this?

@Moth, what is your deal? This is the second time in about as many days, I've seen you crapping all over a mod creator's hard work. How about you try making a mod, make it public and let's see what garbage you shill out.

Used to like the class, but then realized she is just not fun. Yes, her numbers are over the top (protection self stresshealing and healing). But all self debuffs, inability to jump from position 4, and awkward damage buff from rush that forces you to set her exactly at pos3 is just not ideal.

6\10 due to the lack of character charisma and fun mechanics. Boring tin can.

One odd thing is a localization issue wherein a voice-line for turning paranoid was just the markup language instead of an actual line. Is this a known issue or perhaps something I can fix on my end, or maybe some sort of incompatibility on my end?

Still bugged: Avenger applies Marked status for "1 turn" but immediately goes away when her turn ends, so not having the desired effect. I have all extra content except Shieldbreaker & Musketeer. How do I edit to change this myself, & what files?
