Description:

WHAT:
A secondary specialization for Amalgamation Classes based on Keeper class from Rescue Denmother mod, with some EXVENT Officer perks mixed in to fill the gaps. Combines team support and grapple abilities.

WHY:
Because Keeper had some fun and unique abilities, simple as that.

LOW RNG?:
Simply speaking instead of RNG heavy approach normal Amalgamation specializations take, with big decks throwing in random abilities at each rank, this spec is built with the approach that ability list should be ideally static, with random ability decks being used only if it makes thematically sense.

IS IT BALANCED:
Not overpowered, but can be situationally strong I’d say. People who played with Keeper or PCP Field Support Officer know what to expect.

DEETS:
– Squaddie gets Grapple Gun (which comes with Grapple Loot built in).
– Corporal gets Bandage Throw.
– Sergeant gets Resupply Ammo.
– Lieutenant gets Repress.
– Captain gets Supply Run.
– Major gets Reposition.
– Colonel gets Call For Fire.
– Brigadier gets Focus Fire.

WHAT ABOUT DENMOTHER?:
By default Amalgamation Classes is set up so that Denmother should get a random amalgamation class rather than her default keeper one. This spec doesn’t touch that functionality, although if you really want Denmother to have this spec you can always got into Rescue Denmother mod’s Denmother.ini file and replace "wotc_apa_fieldsupport" with whatever spec combo you deem fitting. The class id will be "<primaryid>_<secondaryid>_<tertiaryid>" so for example the one used in screenshot here would be "Maverick_LRKeeper_Officer". Don’t believe there’s a way to force only one spect to be set and have other two random, sorry.

Do note the mod does turn off the Keeper class itself though. If you don’t want that, remove the relevant line at the end of Amalgamation.ini

THANKS:
Thanks and credits go to Iridar for his Rescue Denmother mod, and jayen for Project EXVENT, as well to anyone else who’s work I might have used as basis or "perk pack".
