Fanatic Rework +4 New Trinkets!

REQUIRES THE CRIMSON COURT DLC

The goal of this mod is to make the Fanatic fight feel more unique. The vanilla version feels too similar to the hag fight to me and so I set out to overhaul the fight. Expect the fight to be on par with some of the bosses in the game and make sure that you prepare for it accordingly. If you go up against him without some planning, you’re more than likely to have a very rough time.

Fanatic

The Fanatic will start each round by marking someone with Brand the Tainted, targeting Cursed heroes if available. This happens before the turn begins and will not consume an action. As his first move each round, he will use Sentence Rendered putting a marked target on the Pyre. The second move will be Righteous Condemnation if the pyre is full, moving Fanatic to the front and buffing him. Overall the Fanatic will be more in the front than before moving back only at the start of each round when he marks someone. He has less speed, so that you’ll be able to move before he captures someone. He has less hp and prot than before as well, but thanks to the buffs from his skills, he deals more damage than before. I’ve also added some other new effects to his moves.

The Pyre

The Pyre now has an aura that increases the stress damage received by your party as well as a few other auras. When full, the Pyre will use Scream of Pain at the end of each round to deal stress damage to your party. Empty Pyre will buff Fanatic’s speed at the end of each round. Now also drops 2 Consecrated Pews on death like the wooden obstacles in the Prophet fight.

New Unique Fanatic Trinkets!

I have made 4 new trinkets which are only dropped by the Fanatic. 2 of the trinkets form a set that has a different special bonus for each religious class!
