All good now! Thank you very much! Now all my other Jesters can stop pointing and laughing at the giant. :)

@HeartSickOkra, try now. I had a second spot that needed to be set as well

Giant weapons in the Item Forge are still missing the Grim Jester tag for me after the update. Tried unsubbing and resubbing to no avail.

@HeartSickOkra, i think you are right, I added GiantKings to the class but forgot to give them access to their weapons. Try now

I'm having an issue where the Giant weapons in the Item Forge don't have the Grim Jester tag, so I can't give my Grim Jester Giant King a new weapon. I tried turning off my Item Forge related mods, and nothing changed, so I was wondering if anyone else has an issue with this as well.

@warrgrin, I’d recommend hopping onto the official discord, there is a mods section there that has guides and other such info. Plus a spot for questions with a bunch of modders including myself in there

Big fan of this class, especially for Dragons and Eldritch. Sent a friend request, looking at making a Ancestor Spirit type class, summoning spirits for attacks, mobs, etc (like the Amazon for Planetfall who chucked Dino birds at targets). Looking for help /templates etc. Newbie at this kind of modding (was years ago, did space Empires iv/V and Wizardry 8 under the Deathstalker name.) Long winded but thank you, tonnes of hours in this class.

Excellent, think you are my only classes mod that is now updated for GK, much appreciated. ^.^

@wisprr shoot I forgot that i needed to add support for that. New version should have Giant King support

I really like this mod and class, very well done! Do you have any plans to update this so that Giants can use it as well?
