About this mod

Scourge is a class like no other, he is tied to deity of the Abyss. He is able to plague himself and his enemies, he can use Infectious Offering to transfer plague from himself to enemies and Excoriate to steal it from them. He can also summon his abyssal deity to attack his enemies but at a price.

Class Introduction
Class has been heavily reworked. This would be my forth class on the workshop.
It took me 3 weeks to create, about 6-8 hours a day, some days even more.

The point of the scourge was to create a chaotic class. The idea behind him is that every time he attacks he plagues himself. Some of his attacks plague his enemies which do damage over time. Keep an eye on your plague stacks and use Purge or Infectious Offering when needed. Purge transfers all your group plague on the scourge, cures the plague on you, heals you and decreases his plague amount and dodge for a short period so be careful during that time. Infectious offering however gives all your current plague stacks to the enemy with a small chance to transfer poison from all enemies to a single target. There are multiple ways to deal with the plague stacks, you can also get some more antivenom or a plague doctor to cure you.

If you checked the screenshots you can see that 2 of his abilities have a purple outline which represents a very strong, high risk / high reward ability, however the entire group gets plagued and stressed when Unfathomable Torment is used and they get stressed when Abyssal Havoc is used, you can only use one of these per combat once. He summons a creature of the abyss that resembles Cthulhu but it's not Cthulhu, this class is very "Lovecraft" inspired. I would also like you to ignore the amount of abilities and stats on the screenshots because i just wanted to display the visual effects that is all.

I spent a lot of time on visuals and audio which i hope you guys will enjoy, i wanted him to be satisfying to play. I also had to do quite a bit of math to come up with acceptable numbers which will probably change over time. Balancing him was very difficult but he is in a pretty good spot right now. Two additional abilities that i have to mention are Excoriate, which steals the plague stacks on enemies after it does extra damage to them and Deathlock which guards the entire team for a short period of time but be very careful during that time because he is going to be taking a lot of hits. He cannot travel with religious types and Revenant, which is one of my other classes. This is mostly for balance purposes.




Combat Skills
Infectious Offering: Attack position: 1,2 / Targets 1,2,3 / Effect: Dmg. gives blight to enemy
Noxious Raze: Attack position: 1,2 / Targets 1+2 / Effect: Dmg, blight enemy and self
Excoriate: Attack position: 1,2 / Targets 1+2+3 / Effect: Small dmg, if blight +dmg, steal plague
Un. Torment: A. Position: 1 / Targets ALL / Effect: Dmg, plague all
Ab. Havoc:A. Position: 2 / Targets: 1,2,3,4 / Effect: Dmg, if blight +dmg, horror on team

Noxious Raze and Deathlock poison you, Excoriate also blights you by stealing enemy plague.



Camping Skills
Rev. Draught: Self-Buff, if mortality debuff gain more buffs, stress others.
Pestilent Tenacity: Self-Buff, virtue chance debuff
Toxic Infusion: Group blight and desease resistance, does small dmg and stress others.
Nefarious Feast: Heal group 50%, no need to eat until next camp, stress others.


I have to mention all of scourge camping skills last until the next camp instead of 4 battles.


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.
