Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS ITERATION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH EVERY OTHER DUCHESS

"Please accept this gift, along with my apologies..."


Overview
------------------------------------------
A usurper come for the Countess' title, the Duchess makes no qualms over how many heads will roll until she gets her way. Yet, even with such ambitions, she is no fool as to headlong plunge herself into a losing battle. Perhaps a few compatriots would be the key she needs, loathed as they might be.

Duchess has two modes, Human and Beast. However, unlike prior versions, the Duchess can utilize any set of skills across the two modes, and is NOT restricted to the standard Abomination layout.

Cool class. I think there should be more impact, a bit more umph, in the beast form. Also, I think the text should be "In human form:" rather than "Human to Beast", makes it simpler to understand.

Activate Crimson Court.
Kidze May 22 @ 6:23am 
I can't even start my game. is there anything else I need to install?
Mr.FosterZ May 11 @ 8:35pm 
Could you add the missing localizations? Some trinkets and events have the typical blue lettering error. I'm using it in Spanish
Soggy pizza  [author] May 6 @ 10:53pm 
that was done beause of technical limitation, so this is not getting changed. And making transform be automatic based on health % is buggy and unstable, so that's also not happening
The Big Large May 6 @ 9:29pm 
I love this re-balance in every way. The only critique I have is that the transformation replacing the move button is a little off putting. If giving 0 movability is a way of balancing her thats fine, but it forces you to take her holy lance for when shes displaced. Maybe give the move back and make it so she only transforms automatically based on some trigger like half health?
Zhu May 4 @ 4:51am 
Wish she had more colors like the human mod version. Otherwise a great mod.
Elissif May 2 @ 4:30am 
In the Letter of Contrition Trinket, what does the -20rds Passive Duration part refer to?
Don't Smoke the Shrooms May 1 @ 3:39pm 
Ah, understood. Thank you kindly.

You can just ignore crimson court for the entirety of the game by not going there. It will simply not have any effect on the rest of the game if you never finish intro CC quest. Duchess reformed will not work if crimson court is not enabled, but to play with the class interacting with crimson court is not necessary - you can go inside mod files, delete modfiles.txt, and edit duchess .info file to remove quest requirement for her spawn.

Original duchess mod also requires crimson court too, btw
