Class Introduction
Here we go again, this is my second class that took me 3 weeks to make, i wouldn't make this class if i did not have a good idea behind it. I wanted to challenge myself because for me it's not that hard to create good looking metallic surfaces but i struggle with muscles and cloth quite a bit. So i said to myself, what can i possibly make that would challenge me. That's how i came up with the Prodigy.

The Prodigy is a pure DPS class that was heavily inspired by Jade Empire. This class plays differently from the rest. The idea behind the class is that he has 2 stances, offensive (fist) and defensive (palm). 

Offensive stance abilities move you to the very front of the group and some of them can stun.
Defensive stance abilities always move you one space backwards and move the enemies around.

So the idea is, keep using defensive abilities until you reach the position you want to be in and move enemies to the desired position you want them to be in. Then swap the stance and execute the offensive ability of your choosing. Keep in mind every offensive ability can be cast from a different position.

He is a shuffler, all he does is move around constantly looking for the perfect spot to attack from. You chose what you want to do when and which ability you want to execute.

This character was hard to balance but i believe he is in a good spot right now. He is religious so he cannot travel with the Revenant or Abomination. He has access to all abilities and provides free Holy Water on every mission.

Serenity Removes a huge amount of stress from the party and himself but he is exhausted.
Solemn Training: Buffs party with dodge and accuracy, increases monster surprise chance.



He is an interesting class, i also made sure the sound effects for kicks and punches feel satisfying to use. He is fun but needs some time to get used to, works really well with other shuffling classes like Grave Robber, Hellion and Jester.


If you find any bugs/glitches or spelling errors please let me know in the comment section and i will try to address them.
Balance is very important to me, so if you think something is overpowered or weak feel free to notify me about it.
If you like more of a direct approach feel free to add me on steam.
