The Beastkin Class Mod **Re-Upload**

*** This mod has recently been reworked (2/1/25) and will reset progress on some skills and trinkets for returning players, the old version can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2988623203 ***

A curse-stricken catgirl that likes to do things her own way, she has traveled to the estate in order to find a way to dispel her curse. Making the best of her condition and utilizing her ninja training, she is able to execute a dazzling array of acrobatic moves to dodge monster attacks and freely move between battle lines to strike where her foe is weakest.

=====Overview=====
Based on Izutsumi from the Manga and Anime Dungeon Meshi, The Beastkin is a highly mobile class with good base damage with increased potential against bleeding and low health enemies. However, she is fragile with her main survival tool being somewhat unpredictable and her main damage tool is underwhelming without a proper setup.

She brings no provisions with her on expeditions.

On Crit, the Beastkin gains +33% damage vs Bleeding enemies for 3 turns.

The Beastkin is not religious and uses The House of the Yellow Hand.

Her camping skills are focused on self-benefits, with her options for team support being unpredictable and prone to backfiring.

=====Other=====

The Beastkin is referred to as "kot" in all the game files, so apologies to anyone planning on making a King of Town mod.

I’d prefer if you ask if you want to upload this mod anywhere else or make changes to it, but I really don’t mind as long as I’m credited.

Dialogue is sourced directly from the EHScans translation, but due to the amount of strings needed for afflictions, most dialogue now comes from The Cat from Red Dwarf, so apologies if she doesn’t seem in character.

For balance reasons, she is allowed to drink alcohol and have sex. This is highly out of character, so you shouldn’t do it, but I’m not a cop or nothing so it looks like you’ll get away with it.

Tercmc is moving away from from DD1 modding due to certain circumstances, which may affect when the next Meshi mod is, but I wasn’t planning on focusing hard on them until we get Season 2 news anyway.
