Features

This specialization pack adds 2 additional specializations from the Kasrkin and Guardsman class mods by Rookie Slime and ultimentra (and one perk from Long War 2) to Musashi’s fantastic RPG Overhaul mod. These specializations contain 14 perks which were not previously available in RPG Overhaul.

Specializations

Guardsman
When using the Guardsman’s special shots Hot Shot, Overcharge, and Meltagun, be aware that these will overheat the soldier’s weapon. While all of these attacks are very powerful and don’t end the turn (making it possible to shoot multiple times every turn), the overheated weapon causes offense and defense penalties for 2 turns. This effect can stack!

I realize that this specialization may be overpowered. If you think the balance is off, I am open to feedback.

Known issues

Some people have had problems when installing new RPG Overhaul plugins and adding them to existing campaigns, so do this at your own risk. To make sure the perk trees are updated correctly, I highly recommend using shiremct’s mod [WOTC] Additional Soldier Console Commands. To rebuild your soldier’s perk trees with this mod, go into their armory screen and use the console command "RebuildSelectedSoldiersClass" to refresh the perks and keep the soldier’s rank the same.
Under certain conditions, the Minefield perk adds more mines than intended (one more, not game-breaking).

The perk trees have not yet been extensively tested and balanced. They are therefore subject to change.
