Description:

Gives Crusader 4 new skills inspired by his new skills in Darkest Dungeon 2:

Rallying Cry: Cures debuffs and buffs debuff resist for self and one ally.

Reap: Front-ranks damage cleave that reduces enemy healing received. Clears mark, heals self vs marked.

Radiance: Self buff for melee damage and ranged debuff chance, with a bit of regen.

Tenacity: Buffs PROT for self and one ally.

Also tweaks some of Crusader’s pre-existing skills (again, based on their appearance in DD2):

General: Minimum base damage lowered by 2 and maximum base damage lowered by 4 (roughly -30% base dmg overall) to compensate for fire attack mechanic. Base SPD increased by 1.

Smite: Fire attack. Clears mark, damage bonus vs marked.

Stunning Blow: Clears mark, only stuns marked. Higher DMG mod.

Zealous Accusation: Fire attack, strongly buffs fire attacks. Chance to mark. Lower DMG mod.

Bulwark of Faith: Buff and mark don’t last full battle but no use limit. Applies a bit of regen.

Battle Heal: Heals self as well as ally. Can’t be used in ranks 3 or 4.

Holy Lance: Fire attack, buffs fire attacks. Marks.

Inspiring Cry: No heal. Stress-heals self and ally.

A few remarks:

Compared to vanilla DD1 Crusader, this version is a bit more self-sustaining, given that most of his support options also affect himself.

He’s still a frontliner, but spamming Holy Lance as part of a "dance" team is also still good.

My favorite change is his little bit of mark synergy. He usually can’t reliably follow up on his own mark, which means it takes teamwork to explore that aspect.

Lastly, you might be wondering what happened to the old "Extra Crusader Skills" mod. This is a remake of it. If you want to see the old version, it’s available on Skymods or on RoyPsich’s Workshop (who has been uploading my deleted mods, which I’m fine with).
