The Half-Foot Class Mod

Child-like in appearance, but wizened in mind and hardened by years of dungeoneering experience, the Half-Foot offers his services in conquering the Darkest Dungeon in exchange for full payment up front. The last man to lead a charge or patch a wound, the Half-Foot instead assists his team with his highly trained senses and advice that borders on abuse. In extreme circumstances, the pint-sized professional showcases his incredible aim with a bow or knife, though the power behind these attacks is what you would expect from someone of his stature. As a desperate measure, he may use his skills at detecting traps to his advantage against his enemies, deceiving them into wandering carelessly to their doom, but hopefully not his own as well after the mechanism is triggered and he remains in the open.

=====Overview=====

Based on Chilchuck from the Manga and Anime Dungeon Meshi, The Half-Foot is an unusual support that offers very powerful buffs and debuffs and can utterly decimate enemies that rely on stealth, however he is incredibly fragile and deals pathetic damage without the proper setup.

The Half-Foot has a base Trap Resist of 60%, meaning he will have a 100% chance to disarm traps in Level 1 dungeons.

He brings a Skeleton Key as a provision.

Much like the Antiquarian, you gain either an extra supply item or extra gold whenever you investigate a curio with a Half-Foot in the party.

On Crit, he gains +100% Damage vs Marked for 3 turns.

The Half-Foot is not religious and uses The House of the Yellow Hand.

He is banned from using the Brothel because they don’t believe that he’s actually 29.

His camping skills are focused on team support and exploration, providing powerful buffs for combat and scouting.

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. If you have any extra content you’d like to submit, get in contact with me and I’ll give it a look and add if it’s up to snuff, giving you credit, of course.

Jugular Shot might look a little awkward because of how different the head region is on every enemy, causing the arrow to hit way above the neck.

Banning him from the brothel was a decision made because I think it’s funny. If you want to re-enable his access, go into the info file and delete the activity and quirk modifier sections, he already has working strings that can’t normally activate.
