The Transcended
Transcended – Class Mod
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mocked by his colleagues for too long, this special kind of Leper has meditated until his brittle body was no more upon the notion of hitting the back line. The burden of a physical body no longer a restriction, the transcended’s bronzed mask ties his existence back into this realm. Emanating with energy, his lifeforce may take time to procure an attack, but delivers devastating damage to anyone caught in its unstoppable fury.
Once a ruined man, a warrior, and a poet. This vengeful spirit is most effective when given a turn to channel his inner spirit before procuring enough energy for a devastating attack. When he bursts with energy it can come from any direction – from the heavens or creeping up through the earth. He is entirely self-sufficient, drawing strength from his inability to attack the back row in life.
A bile of bones. A questionable existence. The transcended will tend to shun the others in his group, preferring instead to focus his efforts into staying within the constraints of this realm at the expense of the horror such an undertaking brings forth. In order to reduce his stress, the transcended can play tricks with his floating mask, but such a thing is sure to unsettle his companions.
Design Note:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you bothered reading any of that you can tell this is just a glorified mod that changes the Leper’s attack targets to the back 2 lines rather than the 1st 2 (except chop hits 234 as I found the character needed some leeway for his standard move once there was no back line to hit).
The transcended still takes up the 1st 2 lines in the party to attack, so choose who to party him with carefully. I found that if I changed him to attack from the position 34 it became way too overpowered and I like the awkward feeling of the character still taking up position 12.
I originally made this mod to get myself familiar with the modding process (XML files, spriting, referencing fx files, localization and audio) before I start the daunting task of developing my proper class mod with its own unique abilities and sprites.
Final Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If anyone knows how to allow my character to use Leper specific trinkets or a guide on how to make trinkets feel free to message me or post a comment.
If you think of a way that can make this mod more fun/playable such as balance changes, feel free to share in the comments. As of right now the transcended has all the Leper’s base stats and abilities from the latest COM patch.
There shouldn’t be any bugs as my friend and I have tested it but let me know in the comments if you have any problems that need fixing.
Thanks for playing
