Description:
RPG Overhaul – Rising Tides Specializations

This plugin transforms the classes from the Rising Tides mod into 9 RPGO specializations. Therefore you need the RPGO Overhaul mod and the Rising Tides class mod for this to work at all.
The specializations of this plugin mod are called GHOST.

The specializations are:

  • "GHOST Fire Support" – The GHOST Program’s Fire Support Training Path transforms the GHOST Operative’s firearms to become even more lethal.
  • "GHOST Infiltrator" – The GHOST Program’s Infiltrator Training Path transforms GHOST Operatives into undetectable agents who strike from the shadows.
  • "GHOST Watcher" – The GHOST Program’s Watcher Training Path transforms GHOST Operatives into snipers who control the battlefield from high ground.
  • "GHOST Rampager" – The GHOST Program’s Rampager Training Path transforms GHOST Operatives into master swordsmen. Uses his sword as his primary weapon.
  • "GHOST Berserker" -The GHOST Program’s Berserker Training Path transforms GHOST Operatives into berserkers who wreak havoc on the battlefield.
  • "GHOST Operator"– The Operator Training Path transforms GHOST Operatives into skilled swordsmen who strike from the shadows.
  • "GHOST Clairvoyant"– The GHOST Program’s Clairvoyant Training Path enhances the psionic abilities of GHOST Operatives by teaching them psionic healing and support skills.
  • "GHOST Gatherer"– The GHOST Program’s Clairvoyant Training Path enhances the psionic capabilities of GHOST Operatives by teaching them psionic capabilities for reconnaissance.
  • "GHOST Telepath"– The GHOST Program’s Clairvoyant Training Path enhances the psionic capabilities of GHOST Operatives by teaching them psionic capabilities for battlefield destruction and enemy obliteration.

General Information And Balance

The classes from the Rising Tides mod are extremly strong by design. This is why I introduced a mechanic similar to the RPGO Plugin of the Jedi class.
In order to gain access to any Rising Tides specializations (the GHOST-specializations) you NEED to have squaddie perk "Gifted by the Tide" on your soldier.
You CANNOT pick the GHOST-specializations without the perk.
You will get it randomly as one of you squaddie abilities or if you play with the Second Wave Option "Origins" you can choose it as a starting ability.
This mechanic will greatly limit the availability of the specializations in your campaign and thus attempts to balance the GHOST-specializations if you play with random origins.

Additional Squaddie Abilities

Depending on the specializations you choose you will get the following additional squaddie abilities that are required for most of the specializations to work properly.

  • "Scoped And Dropped" – for marksman specializations
  • "Bump In The Night" – for berserker specializations
  • "Berserker Knife Attack" – for berserker specializations
  • "Over The Shoulder" – for gatherer specializations

How is this different from the plugin by AsariSpectre?

The plugin mod by AsariSpectre has not been updated for a few years now. It was made at a time when the RPGO mod and its structure was different from todays version. Therefore it has the a few issues (mainly missing abilities that broke the specializations) that I wanted to resolve with my mod.

Issues and Compatibility

I am still in progress of testing the plugin and the abilities of the specializations. If you encounter any issues feel free to comment down below about the issue and maybe I can fix it.
The mod should be compatible with LWOTC as well (I am running a LWOTC with RPGO campaign at the moment with this plugin).
