Description:

This mod started as a fix for the Caster Gauntlets mod, but I started doing some tweaks, experimenting with abilities, and eventually ended up with my own class.

Most of the skills are either made by Mitzruti and are from their perk pack, or are at least partially using their code, so they deserve a lot of credit.

Templar Mage

The Templar Mage is an offensive psionic user, specialized in generating and expending focus. They’re best equipped with the caster gauntlets, because they allow for greater damage with psionic abilities, and generally their melee abilities are best used for grabbing focus and not really dealing much damage.

The Templar Mage has 3 full normal specialization lines and one mostly random one. I’m still working on icons, so there’s some repeats, but it doesn’t really affect anything.

I recommend using Force Weapons for the secondary, but if you don’t use it you can just use a pistol instead.

Custom Hero Class Icon adds an icon to the class.

  • Void Shock: Psionic lightning does a small amount of damage and can chain to a second target, restores 1 focus per kill.
  • Dark Sword: Melee attack with gauntlets that grants 1 extra focus on use.
  • Drain Runeshot: Attack with secondary weapon that restores health equal to damage done, costs 1 focus.
  • Void Blast: Functions as Void Shock, but as a free action and costs 1 focus instead of restoring focus.
  • Void Chain: Damaging psionic lightning that can chain through multiple targets including back to the first. Costs 1 focus, 1 action non-turn ending
  • Storm Force: Increases damage of psionic lightning attacks by 30%.
  • Supreme Focus: +1 max focus.
  • Void Surge: Blasts psionic lightning in a cone, damaging all enemies within. Costs 1 focus.
  • Ethereal Jaunt: Teleport anywhere within squad sight for 1 focus, one action does not end turn.
  • Void Lightning: Does strong psionic lightning damage to all enemies in a radius at long range, costs 2 focus.

Caster Gauntlets

These can be used by any class that uses gaunlets, and are built by the same schematics. They have a lot lower base damage than regular gauntlets, but deal more damage with psionic abilities, and come with a bonus ability at all tiers called Meditation that ends the turn and restores 1 focus. At magnetic tier they give +1 max focus, and at Beam tier they give +2 max focus insteadl. Also includes support for Covert Infliltration.
