Description:

Verge was part of an ADVENT experiment to subvert Earth governments by mind-controlling human subjects. A master puppeteer, Verge used high-ranking officials to reassure the populace that the aliens had their best interests at heart. This intimate mental contact eventually led Verge to gain empathy for humanity, and he began supplying resistance groups with information.

• Adept at disabling enemies and influencing their mental states, he is also skilled in telekinesis, able to rip enemies out of cover to improve squadmates’ hit chances.
• Multiple Support skills including healing, boosting, and clearing mental status.

• Sectoid Melee Vulnerability resulting in +3 Damage taken for Melee hits.

The Requirements listed are all Required… PLUS for the mod to function properly please include 1 of the following:

• Musashis RPG Overhaul
  OR
• [WOTC] Community Promotion Screen (or a similar mod)

• [WOTC] Unrestricted Customization Redux
  If you want to customize Verge you will most likely need a mod such as this.
• [WotC] No More PsiAmps
  All the animations were tested using this mod. No idea what it will look like without.

• XCOM Psionics Overhaul V3
• [WOTC] Dedicated Pistol Slot 2.0

• XCOM: Gears Tactics Class/Perk Pack [BETA]

• Verge can be added to your crew at anytime by using the Console command: AddVergeToHQ
• This is my first published Mod other then the Verge Voice Pack. I tested this as much as I can but there may be a few bugs remaining. I have not tested him on rescue missions.
• I would love to see Verge added through a different method, I tried multiple approaches however it was well beyond my Modding Skills. This may change in the future, however if someone else wants to make a mod for this or work with me on making a rescue mission for Verge please do.
• Verge has a passive ability called Chimea Squad. This currently does nothing but perhaps some day it will grant bonuses or free actions to other Chimera Squad Squadmates.

• The Upper and Lower Face props seem to have a few extra lines added only for the Verge Character. I was not able to identify the cause but it shouldn’t impact any other class.

• Verge is added to the Gatecrasher mission in Squad Slot 4. You may change the squad slot number or not add him to the Gatecrasher mission at all. If AddToGatecrasher is set to false Verge will not spawn in the game without the Console Command AddVergeToHQ.
• If Verge loses all of his HP he becomes unconscious up to once per mission. This can be changed by setting VergeCannotDie = false

• The Majority of the Skills added from this mod can be tweaked in this file.

• Tim McCracken: Who developed the Envoy Class for Chimera Squad.
• Fastrean: For permission to use the Levitation skill framework and assets from the mod [WOTC] Kinetic Utility Items
• ADVENT Avenger, PZ and [OG]CombatMedic02: This mod includes the code for The Sever Link Ability from ADVENT Avenger. Originally was going to use a alternate reanimation skill but ultimately went with the base game version. Reanimation Psi Amp [WotC]
• Mr. Danger Dude: Reviewing code and basing the promotion level up to align with the Torque mod [WOTC] Chimera Squad: Torque Squadmate
• Mitzruti: Alot of the Skills and animations came from his perks mod.
• Iridar: For his numerous class mods and code including the [WOTC] Duke Nukem – Class & Character mod which the Unkillable skill from this mod is based off of.
• XCom 2 Modding Discord Channel: For answering my numerous questions throughout development.
• Many others I may have missed: Sorry if I missed anyone, I reviewed a lot of code through different mods to help put this together and tried to make a note along the way.
