Backstory
------------------------------------------
"I may have...neglected to tell that insipid Miller about how I sold the outskirts of his expendable land to the local government for some much needed financial gain. The bureaucrats sent these servants of steel - these gandy dancers - to level the uneven ground with explosives in order to lay the groundwork for a railroad that would inspire better trade routes. By foul luck, the section hands arrived the day where the explosion would not come from their sticks of dynamite but from the stars, leaving one man as the lone survivor. " - The Ancestor

The Steel Driver is a frontline tank & offensive hero that comes with 3 custom virtues & 2 custom afflictions (charted in the Discussion below) meaning any trinkets or abilities that increase virtue chance will NOT work on the Steel Driver.
The Steel Driver is a hero that the player may want to hit his resolve check since his Virtue chance set at 75% & his Affliction chance set to 25%. Like the folktale he hails from, when the Steel Driver is pushed to his limits you can count on him pulling off the nigh-on-impossible. However, like the folktale he hails from, being virtuous is extremely stressful & will most likely stay virtuous for only a little amount of time until his stress meter hits 200 & resets. The player should also be aware of the 25% chance of getting SD’s affliction which will make him a punishing detriment to the team, but on the flip-side, this is a stress-relieving moment for him & will most likely not last too long until his stress meter resets.

Steel Driver is, by no means, my last Darkest Dungeon mod & they will always remain 100% free. However, if you'd like to help with the process, see the mods done quicker, or leave me a nice kudos; please consider leaving a tip! It would mean the world & really help out a novice (but hopefully upcoming) gamedev!
