GRAB THE CC PATCHES HERE!
MOD FEATURES

  • Using Tiefling bodytype. so Con : you have horns and tail. Pro : you can have majestic horn and cool tail
  • No, you're not undead, You're humanoid
  • No, you're not immortal, but deathbringer can be pain in the ass to kill.
  • You can choose 2 cantrip from list of choice provided, and 2 Fighting skill.
  • 2 NOT VERY Distinct Subraces (in other words, its same, but 1 (Deathtouched) is intended to be more "balanced"...faithful to UA Reborn, and for player who thinks DB is too op, 1 (Deathbringer) is intended to be LORE DURGE HEAVY, and ENHANCE GAMEPLAY PART OF DURGE RUN....so balance is thrown out of the window) So your can think it like this : Deathbringer have access to all Deathtouched spells and passives, but Deathtouched cannot access Deathbringer exclusives features.
  • Unique Madness status : during deathbringer madness, ANY form of madness (be it from Mad Reaper, or regular Madness caused by enemies) they can regain hp based on damage they caused during these period. so they can be immortal pain the ass if AI somehow clever using the spells or in attacking. dont worry AI cannot gain more unstoppable charge or using Dance of Death.
  • You have Tiefling tag, As deathbringer you also have extra tag both Sorcerer and Barbarian. 1.0.7 Now Race tag selection is here! also intimidation skill (for sorcerer & barbarian tag)
  • Custom new spells that i added for my own convenience or just for shit and giggles, but at least I tried to be lore friendly in description.






Other than what i described above, there is some status/passives that also add :
  • Superior Darkvision
  • Deathbringer also had Savage attacks that the same from orc version
  • when DB fall to below <30% hp, for 1 turn you automatically got "Mortal Survival Instict" that boost your AC to 10 and make an attacker in disadvantage when attacking DB. and if you still have whisper of murderer (below level 12), youll become invincible mad murderhobo for 1 turn. this feature is to make sure mad DB have a chance to kick someone asses before dead due AI stupidity.
  • 1.0.6 MADNESS CHANGES now when <30% hp whisper of murderer trigger WIS/INT saving throw (18) instead of automatically mad. after mad you'll have status "Brief Clarity" for 1 turn that act as cooldown before madness saving throw again.
  • 1.0.6 OUTSIDE COMBAT, "Help action", "Revivify Spell", "Scroll Of Revivify", and "Scroll Of True Resurrection" now also trigger the cooldown for 2 turns instead of auto mad. so now your DB wont wake up with gun blazing anymore...trough it was funny of LMAO.


NPC review on deathbringer durge :
Kressa bonedaughter
"It never been the same with another, All the other victims who comes here just meekly obey. You thrashed, you fought, you were indomitable" - on Murderer Vengeance and Lethal Insight

Orin
"You deceive with these mindless flayings, and our temple, no my temple, decays because of it."
- on alot of gruesome state of the corpses due to necrotic spells.

Sarevok
"Lord does not care for beauty, He only cares about death. Death in numbers. Death in droves. - on Dance of Death and Necro'ed trail of corpses"
"Killing is just another vital function of your existence. Such is the Urge" - on Whisper of Murderer

Bhaalist
"You're back! do you remember me? you were the one who introduce me to flesh! half elf sweet flesh!" - on Devour

Astarion
"Oh YES, You were so VERY scary" - after witnessing dance of death, reaper madness, and felt the dreadful presence.


**bonus** someone in dev room probably
"yes, we can see how someone definitely play storm sorcerer with a bloody dagger"
- on Bloodpact weapon and armory


KNOWN ISSUES
  • Dance of death intend to make you able to attack, kill, move like forever in 1 turn (imagine that like the Flash but in killing spree). Sometimes after your first kill in your turn, and got your first 2 extra action during dance of death duration. next kill doesnt give you any action. it could be because of extra damage you applied to you attack damage (ex : from cull the weak passive), or when lands critical. this is similar to bloodlust potion problem. i still think this is due to the game problem, so i still have no solution for it.
  • Dashing during dance of death also trigger wisdom saving throws thankfully its the lowest one. its not reallly a problem when i play it. but if you have a solution for it let me know!, i almost cried the fuck that i did wrong.
  • SOMETIMES in Dance of Death regain more than 1 charges of unstoppable, this too, i suspect is due the same problem with point one (both are on kill), i still have no solution for it
  • Unstoppable charge that gained from Dance of Death kill only REMAIN AND USABLE PER COMBAT. the tooltips said until long rest, i still have no idea how to edit that
  • ALOT can happen during madness state, especially if you used class mods that have their own complex gameplay mechanics, triggering multiple statuses can easily fucked up the AI brain (ex : too long to decide what chaos should they bring upon this land :v, crashed the game, or softlock character in madness state), I add Ring mod as workaround for this
  • Initially, i want Annihilation to have 2 version, Orin's for 2 handed, and Sarevok's for the rest, but scrapped the idea because of animation problem, now Annihilation is Custom version of Sarevok's Deathbringer Assault. with InzzGreyer helps, i did made it sarevok's deathbringer assaults works across all the body, BUT dual wielding skinny female body. i have no solution for it, so for now dual wield skinny fem WOULD play ORIN animation instead. NO MATTER WHAT. but the damage still the same (both are 4 attacks damage), BUT tell me if somehow you figure it out how to make orin deathbringer assault animation work across ALL body!

THE BLOODY WARNING!
  • Deathbringer Not recommended for honor run obviously (in my custom run that guy decide to be mad during grymforge fight, so also watch out for that fight), i wont be held accountable if they obliterate at your whole team with fireball, and then dies because of AI stupidity. but if you have solution to modify AI to priority the nearest enemy rather than triggering an opportunity attacks, let me know!
  • So far i only tried wisdom version, INT version is only quick change so i might missed something. if you find any madness roll that still rolling wisdom in INT version tell me!
  • Bad grammar or overly edgy description, english isnt my first language...


RECOMMENDED MOD
So far I tried some of mod that can do have synergy with this mod too, to give you more durge blood metallic flavour
  • Death Soul durge default classes is sorcerer, also how they were once be worshipped as a god, so yeah you can roast gale as sorcerer and still stay charismatic durge themed too!
  • Vanguard Shadow Adept and Magus Laughing Shadow to be capable to pull off those masterplan, durge must be smart af, or at least brilliant strategist, but heck they wont stay at the back chilling when there is bloody battle at front line.

I never try it yet but i bet itll enhance your durge gameplay too along with this mod!
  • Surgeon Class lets face it, this is the most obvious one to figure out why lmao.


FAQ

Is it compatible with EoTB?
I think so, in trial run im using EoTB eyes. As long you set the mod order right, Sorry for my misunderstanding, now patch here! grab that in CC patches mod page
Does the mod support Unique Tav?
Currently, no, Ill have to learn how to do it first coz i never use that mod before.
Default Durge is Dragonborn, any plan to make Dragonborn version?
Maybe, maybe not, i make this mainly for my own fun, and tiefling is my favorite. also to be honest im barely getting a grip in this modding business, (this is literally my first mod in my life) and i noticed Dragonborn body,slots,skin colors is works different from other races. IF i have a time and happy enough to consider it, i will.
I felt like Deathtouched didnt get enough love even from Author herself, do you plan something about it in the future?
by default, is no, because i make this mod purely from my vision and imagination of durge. and after dicovering how durge was conceived. it similar how reborn might be born, after thought of that is, it might be nice to make another toned down version for someone who find DB is too powerful. but if someone have nice idea or a vision interesting enough for me for this subrace, ill consider it!
Since you also fan of being OP in your game, would you make deathbringer without madness part of it?
Sorry, nope!, I love the LORE more than anything, and OP is one of the aspect i feel is fit for durge. if you want to be OP without drawbacks, you can earn that by playing this mod trough the max level, or look at other mods

FUTURE PLANS
  • If i have a time i want to make custom scar, mimicking how bhaal got killed : a stab from the back all the way out from the chest
  • I really want to make Deathbringer durge exclusive, still have no idea how to do that
  • i REALLY REALLY want that orin/sarevok deathbringer assault to be implemented here as well, maybe not 1:1 implements, but something similar like that assault. imagine that fated duel more bloody and gruesome, both you and orin keep attacking without care of your opponent stabbing back at you, a battle to the death. is sick as hell man. added in 1.0.5!
