Feenex’s Duskblade Class [NSE Required]
Swift strikes and spell-slinging are the hallmark of the Duskblade, who seeks to control the outcome of battle through powerful protection magic, unique summons, and ostentatious tricks. Blending together blade and sourcery, Duskblades are adept spellswords who will ravage the battlefield if left unchecked.
"My blade and my magic are one and the same." —Yele, elf duskblade

The Duskblade is a hybrid Warfare/Summoning class, which focuses on position control, damage mitigation, and effective summons to control the outcome of battle. The Duskblade class has three primary mechanics: Arcane Focus, Arcane Imbuement, and Negation.
Arcane Focus
- Arcane Focus is a trigger that fires on several Duskblade skills.
- When Arcane Focus is triggered, all skills which benefit (listed in their skill description) will have their CD reduced by one.
- Arcane Focus allows the Duskblade to roll into combos and mix-match their effectiveness on the field, while always feeling useful.
Arcane Imbuement
- Duskblades can imbue their weapons, causing 50% of the damage the weapon would deal to instead be dealt as the imbuement type.
- Arcane Imbuement allows a Duskblade to operate as a hybrid physical/magic damage dealer, while also being able to switch element types on the fly in combat, making them extremely versatile.
Negation
- Negation is a powerful mechanic that negates the next instance of incoming damage the Duskblade would receive.
- Duskblades can distribute Negation to team members quickly to mitigate damage across the entire party!
- Negation blocks damage, but will not block status effects associated with such damage. For example, if you have no physical armor left, you will still be Knocked Down by a skill that would do so, but you wont receive damage.
The NSE tool is a similar tool to the Skyrim SKSE, offering additional tools and scripting APIs for modders to create new, more exciting content! The tool is safe and secure, and is a new staple in the world of Divinity OS modding.
