4.0:
The new subclass is finally finished! In time for Patch 7. I know it's been 84 years, but making over a dozen spells takes time. I also did a lot of polishing, including redoing all the icons. Ultimately I decided not to make this class exclusively Durge flavoured and therein found the motivation to complete it. So, here it is, Blood Knight! It's themed around blood magic, suitable for Durge, a Vampire, or any other blood-crazed weirdo. A couple of spells were inspired by Dragon Age. Blood for the Blood God and all that. Hope y'all like it.

Remember to respec before updating. While the changes aren't huge, this update does make changes to progression and spells, so you do need to respec. Use Respec Spell, switch off of Blackguard, save your game, update the mod (and make sure you install the new requirements), and then you can spec back into Blackguard.
I've been making a lot of tweaks, balance changes, and bugfixes as I play through on HM while working on a new subclass and I've just decided to just go ahead and release those changes. Balance-wise, I think it's in a pretty good state now, at least from what I've played at lower levels. As I progress I'll continue to tweak things.
The Subclass, Death Knight, which is heavily Necromancy focused, is very much still a WIP and will be released in the 4.0 update when I'm done. I've been busy so I don't have a timeframe, but it is coming along.

3.0: THIS IS A BIG UPDATE. RESPEC.
This is a big update with a lot of bugfixes, balance adjustments, restructuring, and ability reworks, plus some new abilities. You need to respec before updating. Use Respec Spell or Appearance Edit Enhanced to do so. Respec off of Blackguard, update, and respec back onto it.
Aside from bugfixes, these should be the last big changes until I expand subclasses. Shadoweaver is pretty much done now as is the base class.
Requirement changes:
- VFX Library by Shivero is now a requirement.
- 5e Spells is no longer a requirement.
New Spells:
- Added Lay on Hands: Lesser Undead Mending and Lay on Hands: Greater Undead Mending. Now you can heal the Necronomicon ghoulies. No one else, though. These hands ain't divine.
- Added Caustic Smite to Blackguard level 5, which can be cast in melee or at range, similar to Branding Smite which has an option for both. Deals 2d6 Acid damage and inflicts 1 turn of Nauseated.
- Aura of Terror added to Blackguard level 6. This will be the level 6 aura across the board and level 7 aura will be unique to each subclass, in line with Paladin. Imposes disadvantage to enemy Attack Rolls and Saving Throws, as a counterpart to Aura of Protection. Hopefully class balance is overall better now.
Ability Adjustments:
- Aura of Desecration moved to level 7. Tweaked the VFX to look a little spookier. Damage now scales off of your Charisma modifier like Aura of Hate does.
- Aura of Shadows removed. As such, 5e Spells was removed as a requirement. Aura of Shadows previously used VFX for the cast.
- Necrotizing Smite moved from Shadoweaver list to Blackguard. No visible change on the user end, I've just decided this isn't going to be exclusive to Shadoweaver when I add more subclasses. Darkening Smite will remain Shadoweaver-exclusive. Necrotizing Smite now costs a level 5 spell slot, on par with Contagion. Moved to level 17. Damage changed from 4d6 to 5d6 as the spell slot cost was changed.
- Casting Umbral Assassin now dispels magical and non magical light near you. This includes burning (it always did this, but wasn't in the tooltip). Removed Once Per Short Rest requirement, since it's limited by Channel Oath charges anyway.
- Reworked Dark Attunement and moved it to be a Blackguard passive rather than Shadoweaver. It now gives Expertise in Stealth.
- Removed Sunlight Weakness. It's jank and doesn't register darkness or light properly. I've (hopefully) balanced the class better and don't feel it's necessary anymore.
- Custom icon for Shadowblend with some custom VFX, because looking cool is very important.
- Extinguish Light now douses fires. This does not apply to Hellfire because that would be silly.
- Tweaked Shadow Resurrection VFX a bit.
- Changed Wraithform VFX.
- Shaded Soul now grants Expertise in Arcana. Removed Stealth proficiency bonus.
- Black Knight now grants Expertise in Intimidation and Proficiency in Deception.
Icons:
- Made an icon for Oath Tenets to match the rest.
- New Curse of Withering icon because I didn't like the old one.
- New Shadow Meld icon. Finally the AI was kind to me.
- Changed Shroud of Shadows Fly icon to match the passive icon.
- Changed Shade Shield icon to look a bit more... shieldy.
- Changed Enshroud icon to look a bit less like a black hole.
- Resized Shadow Possessed icon to not get cut off.
- Wraithform, Hunger of Hadar, and Aberrant Shadows icons are a little less bright and match the other icons better. These were some of the first I made and I didn't quite have the formula down yet.
- Flipped Profane Smite icon. It now points the same way as Divine Smite.
- Flipped Necrotizing Smite icon. Was this important? No. Did I do it anyway? Yes.
Bugfixes:
- Tons of code cleanups. I plugged my files into the stats validator until it stopped yelling at me, so hopefully this fixed bugs rather than creating them.
- Umbral Assassin icon corrected to match other class actions. Umbral Assassin should now correctly add your Charisma modifier to weapon attacks.
- Tooltip corrections for Silencing Smite, Chilling Smite, Necrotizing Smite, Darkening Smite, Aura of Desecration, and Lay on Hands.
- Fixed errors with Curse of Decay not applying damage correctly.
- Shaded Soul should now correctly apply proficiency bonus and Shadow Curse immunity should now work correctly.
- Fixed Shadow Possession icon not showing up and fixed tooltip.
- Fixed Shroud of Shadow tooltip icon not showing correctly.
- Corrected Lay on Hands not being added if you multiclass into Blackguard.
- Necrotizing Smite hiteffect VFX should now be working as intended.
- Added upcasting for Shadow Meld and Shadow Resurrection.
- Fixed Wraithform dismiss animation.
- All spells should be upcastable to the 9th level now, except Wall of Gloom, because it makes me want to uninstall and I haven't fixed it yet.
- Conjure Wraith now correctly allows you to conjure more Wraiths with upcasting. At the 5th level you can conjure 2, and 3 at 7th.
No Spell Prep SE 2.0.1:
- Fixed an oopsie. It should work properly now.
Misc:
- Fancied up the mod description.
2.0 No Spell Prep SE and Scroll Learning SE:
Updated these to utilize Script Extender so I don't have to maintain multiple progression files, which would mean updating the patches anytime I made an edit to the main file's progressions. These are only needed if you are not using the all classes versions of my No Spell Prep SE or Scroll Learning SE, which work for everything. Personally I just want to have Prestidigitation to clean up camp messes.
- Mostly just bugfixes in this update.
- Oath Tenets added to multiclass.
- Fixed Aberrant Shadows not applying damage correctly. I forgot a comma. Removed bleed effect as it felt like a bit much. Fixed darkness duration tooltip issue.
- Added custom class tags. They don't do anything but they do look cool.
- Frightful Visage tooltip corrected to Wisdom save.
- Issue with incorrect spellcasting modifier should be fixed now. I missed an entry in the class descriptions so while the main class modifier was set to Charisma, the subclass was set to Int.
- Fixed spell slot cost on Shadow Resurrection. Shadow Resurrection now restores 50% instead of applying 25% temp HP as I felt this better justifies a level 5 spell slot cost.
2.04:
- Fixed Chilling Touch tooltip displaying incorrect number of turns for Bone Chill status. It should have only been 1.
- Necrotizing Smite reworked into a container spell that allows you to inflict any one of the Contagion conditions for 1 turn. Probably fine to keep playing without respec since I didn't change the spell name internally, just the functionality.
- Profane Smite interrupt issue fixed, it no longer procs off of itself. Hopefully this is the last time I have to fix Profane Smite.
- Fixed wrong of Hellish Rebuke being in the spell list. I had Target_HellishRebuke instead of Shout_HellishRebuke.
- Updated screenshots to reflect changes.
- New of Spell Learning and No Spell Prep. Uses script extender instead of overwriting the ClassDescriptions.lsx file. Remove the old files. Both files are compatible with each other, mix and match as you please.
- Added Feats Every Level patch. Edit: Fixed now.
2.03:
- Some minor code cleanups.
- Interrupts no longer broken. My b. Should ACTUALLY now do extra damage to Humanoids.
- Fixed whatever I managed to break with Curse of Decay.
- Added Paladin dialogue tag.
2.02:
- Forgot to move Shadow Meld to level 2 to reflect the spell slot change.
2.01:
- Minor update with some bugfixes and tweaks. Shouldn't need to respec if you've already updated to 2.0.
- Made Venomous Smite condition icon less bright so you can actually see what it is.
- Fixed Profane Smite tooltip listing bonus damage against Humanoids as 2d8 instead of 1d8.
- Fixed Mark of Putrefaction incorrectly applying to enemies with Necrotic Immunity.
- Added controller UI support. I haven't tested it, so let me know if it doesn't work/looks wonky.
- Shadow Meld now costs a level 1 spell slot. Fixed a minor flag on it.
- Silencing Smite, Chilling Smite, Darkening Smite, and Necrotizing Smite are no longer upcastable for extra damage or debuff duration.
2.0: RESPEC BEFORE UPDATING TO 2.0. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESPEC, READ THE ARTICLE OR THE STICKY.
- Added Concentration to Frightful Visage. Spell is now correctly centered on the player.
- Added Concentration to Aberrant Shadows and extended the Darkness duration to 10 turns. Reduced damage from 9d8 to 8d6, in line with Circle of Death.
- Changed Umbral Assassin to require 3 Channel Oath charges instead of 2, shortened duration from 5 turns to 7, and moved to level 12 for you level 12 enjoyers.
- Fixed level 2 and 3 spell slots being unlocked at the wrong levels.
- Fixed Darkening Smite and Silencing Smite using a level 1 spell slot instead of 2.
- Removed Necromancy spell tag from Profane Smite to be in line with Divine Smite.
- Fixed Profane Smite interrupts not correctly applying bonus damage to Humanoids.
- Renamed some spells internally to be more consistent. I won't do it again, swearsies.
- Reworked Drain Life. It's now a Lay on Hands container spell with Lesser and Greater variants, and uses the same scaling as Paladin Lay on Hands, which scales with your level. To be consistent with Paladin Lay on Hands, it no longer has a spell roll. Also added a new icon for Drain Life.
- Added a new icon for the Venomous Smite condition.
- Fixed ability defaults and skill selection on class selection.
- Changed Shadow Resurrection VFX a bit.
- Changed Wraithform Dismiss VFX and animation.
- Moved Sunlight Weakness to level 5 when you get Darkness and Darkening Smite.
- Added Improved UI as a requirement because I forgot it. It's always been a requirement.
- Added Respec spell (Change class menu) mod as a requirement because people don't read.
- Updated ability screenshots to reflect changes.
1.02:
- Nerfed Drain Life from 5d6 to 3d6, equivalent to Vampiric Touch. Temporary change until I rework it.
1.01:
- Hotfix: fixed Profane Smite reaction not actually doing damage.
- Also fixed 8th level reaction using a 7th level spell slot.
- Fixed spell learning patch, I had MustPrepareSpells on false.
