Thank you, and I hope you enjoy this mod!

Version 1.2.0 (Read the Patch Notes here!)

Spectres target the souls of their enemies from afar by partially ignoring armour. Soul magic focuses on inflicting damage-over-time effects, devastating curses, and taking pacts with otherworldly demons.

As a damage-intensive but double-edged class, Spectres are best suited as the primary damage dealers within a team composition. For skill points, you’ll want to focus on maxing Warfare as this increases Physical damage – including these spells! For talents, Torturer is a must-have, increasing the duration of Agony – one of your primary damage sources.

This class introduces more than 30 brand new skills, each with brand new animations, effects, effects, etc. Those of you who have played my original Spectre mod for Classic D:OS2 will be familiar with most of the skills, but note there have been lots of improvements and new skills added too!

Scythes and Sickles are new weapon types, designed specifically for Spectres to utilise.

Scythes are staff-based weapons (meaning they can be used with skills such as Whirlwind) which deal Physical-damage and scale with Intelligence – perfect to reap souls with! Scythes also grant access to a new Spectre skill – Spectral Throw, a ranged attack which deals damage and increments a stack of Agony.

Sickles, on the other hand, are one-handed weapons which are a midpoint between swords and daggers. They also deal Physical-damage and scale with Intelligence, on top of granting access to another Spectre skill – Spectral Slash, a whirlwind-like attack which slashes foes and increments Agony.

Additionally, as a thank you to some of my frequent mod testers, I hidden unique Scythes named after each of you across the acts. There are 4 in total – can you find them all?

Malthus the Afflicted is an undead Spectre who sells skillbooks and weapons. He can be found throughout the game in various locations:

• Reaper’s Eye:
  • Fort Joy: Opposite the tent in which Mona, the Necromancy vendor resides.
  • Amadia’s Sanctuary: On a wooden platform near the entrance, opposite the Pyrokinetic vendor.
• Reaper’s Coast:
  • Lady Vengeance: Port-side on the top-deck, next to a ballista.
  • Driftwood Square: Near the East entrance to the square, down by the shoreline.
• Nameless Isle: Port-side on the top-deck of the Lady Vengeance, next to a ballista.
• City of Arx: In the main City, next to a bench by the Western Bridge.
