[1] Description
----------------------------------------

This mod focuses on giving a warrior character the chance to become a powerful Seeker of Truth, a real paladin of the Andrastian Chantry.

The specialization is available after you gain the Templar specialization and grants +6 Mental Resistance and +2 Willpower.

Seeker of Truth specialization has 4 talents which are based on the holy powers that Seekers gain after their rituals.
These talents mostly use Willpower modifier.
Some of them are based on the Paladin class (Pathfinder) while some on the details you know in Inquisition.

Additionally, this mod adds 9 new items:
- Revelation, Helmet
- Truth, Chest
- Devotion, Gloves
- Perseverance, Boots
- Justice, Longsword
- Judgement, Greatsword
- Service, Kite Shield
- Faith, Tower Shield
- Blade of Mercy, Longsword (The real blade of Andraste)

The armor set is available for every race and gender (human male and female fit better in the armor though)

This mod also adds 2 new talents/spells available for the Hero outside of the specialization, regardless of class:
- Blessing of Andraste
- Mercy of Andraste

The last two are unlocked automatically after you touch the sacred ashes and don't taint them.

----------------------------------------
[2] Compatibility
----------------------------------------
Should be compatible with everything provided it doesn't use the same ID's range.
Abilities go from 390000 to 390008

Works with Awakening and every other campaign.

----------------------------------------
[3] Installation
----------------------------------------
Just install the dazip with DAUpdater.exe (gameDirectory\bin_ship\)

To unistall just delete:
- the "seeker_spec" folder in "documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/AddIns"
- the "seeker_spec.erf" in the folder "documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/data"
- the "seeker_spec" folder in "documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override"

If you're upgrading remember to unistall before reinstalling.

OPTIONAL: extract the "Seeker LowerWill" folder under "documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override" to lower the Willpower prerequisites of the talents to 16, 18, 20 and 22 respectively.

----------------------------------------
[4] Seeker Of Truth Abilities
----------------------------------------

Unbreakable Mind (passive):
The hard trained mind of a Seeker is nearly incorruptible and through the ritual it also develops a natural resistance to magic,
gaining a bonus in Mental resistance and Spell Resistance.
Bonus: +30 mental resistace, +15% spell resistance.

Divine Justice (active):
The Seeker calls upon his power to imbue his weapon in holy light and bringing justice in the name of the Maker with a powerful strike,
inflicting additional spirit damage and knocking back the target if it doesn't pass a physical resistance check.
If the target is a mage, demon or undead, takes other additional spirit damage and must pass a mental resistance check or be stunned.

Maker's Will (sustained):
A seeker has the duty to face sacrilegious enemies and can use his powers to protect himself and his allies from the elements
used by demons or apostates.
The Seeker and nearby allies gain Resistance to Fire, Cold, Electric, and Spirit.
The aura of a full experienced Seeker also provides a bonus to Spell Resistance.
Bonus: +10 Resistance to Fire, Cold, Electric, and Spirit. If all Seeker talents are known, also grants +10% Spell Resistance.

Wrath of Heaven (active):
The Seeker releases a wave of holy energy by channeling the power of his faith, inflicting high spirit damage to nearby enemies
and healing the allies.
All affected enemies must pass a physical resistance check or be knocked back.
If an affected enemy is a mage, demon or undead, it takes additional spirit damage and must pass a mental resistance check or be cowered in fear.

----------------------------------------
[5] Powers of Andraste Abilities
----------------------------------------

Blessing of Andraste (active):
You pray for the blessing of Andraste, that imbues your melee weapon with holy energy.
Bonus: + spirit bonus damage to melee weapon, scales with Willpower.

Mercy of Andraste (active):
You pray for the mercy of Andraste, that heals your target allies (Heal scales with Willpower).

They will be automatically granted after you touches the Sacred Ashes, without tainting them, and then change or reload the area (or as soon as you load your save if you already touched the ashes).

Alternatively, you can also type "runscript give_andr" to add them to the selected character.
