Drowner Class Mod Rework

THIS IS A STANDALONE MOD. DO NOT USE WITH THE ORIGINAL DROWNER CLASS MOD.

This mod has NSFW imagery! (Nudity, mostly).

Images used in screenshots were taken from a testing environment. Actual gameplay may differ.

Permission was granted by Anaertailin for the creation and upload of this rework.

The goal of this rework is repurpose Drowner’s gameplay as a super-heavyweight frontliner that can demolish both mobs and bosses alike, while retaining the self-damaging aspect of her original design in exchange for such power. She excels in quick skirmishes, but may prove to be a handful to maintain in prolonged battles.

Drowner’s crit buff is a SPD buff

When at Death’s Door, Drowner will not take self damage from skills, even if Overcharge is activated.

Due to how DD handles %-based effects, self damage values reduced by Accelerated Symbiosis and Mark of Aram may round differently when Overcharge is active.

Drowner is not Religious.

Drowner does not have barks for a majority of things, defaulting to generic barks.

Various members of the official Darkest Dungeon Discord for coding help, playtesting, and advice.

Due to the fact I am no longer actively playing Darkest Dungeon 1, there are no plans to add support for other content such as Sunward Isles, Color of Madness, or any future mods that would need additional content (mostly new trinkets).

Beyond minor maintenance in the event of bugs, glitches, or crashes and potential balance patches, this mod is essentially complete and will not receive any major changes in the future.

Only the English language is supported. If you wish for a different language to be supported, please contact me @beast_a_fish on Discord, or in the comments of the mod.
