Class Rework
This mod changes the balance of all game classes, except classes from the DLC.
– All resistances are changed. Characters gain increased resistance to stun, move, debuff, poison, and bleed effects if they apply these effects themselves.
– Armored heroes (Arbalest, Bounty hunter, Crusader, Leper and Vestal) now have PROT-bonus +10%. It can be increased to 20%.
– Many of the classes changed damage values. Most of the characters began to beat harder (except leper – his damage was reduced).
– Also reworked many of the skills – changed the modifiers for damage and critical strike chance, effects, starting and target positions.
– The range of attacks now depends on the type of weapon. Heroes with short one-handed weapons are able to strike only positions 1-2 from positions 1-2 (except for the attacks with moving forward, which can have a greater range). The attack radius for heroes with two-handed weapons (crusader, leper and hellion) extended – those heroes can strike positions 1-3.
The type of weapon also affects enemy attacks. Enemies will no longer be able to sit in the back rows, beating our heroes with clubs and daggers. Using a melee attack from 3-4 positions, monsters have to move forward.
– Changed the system of obtaining quirks:
Many quirks that before (contrary to logic) coexisted, became incompatible. Photo-maniac will not be afraid of the light, but also can not become a night owl. Beast slayer can’t get zoophobia. A hero who prefers only to pray will not be able to benefit from the use of a brothel or gambling hall.
Some manias also will conflict to each other – for example, a hero who loves cleanness will not be interested in rotting corpses. A character who believes in his own obsession will stay away from sacred objects. Ego-maniac will not suffer from a complex of guilt.
Characters also will not get bonuses or penalties to skills which they do not have. A hero fighting only with melee weapons will not gain range quirks. A character who cannot heal, will not receive quirks related to healing.
Some classes will be immune to certain quirks. Crusader and vestal will not be afraid of the undeads, because they used to fight with them; houndmaster will not be afraid of beasts and so on. Religious heroes can’t become faithless.
Some positive quirks will appear with increased chance.
