Vulcan's Starter Classes
NOW UPDATED TO 1.09.1!

Mod Overview

This mod modifies the game's starter classes with the following goals in mind:

-re-work stat blocks to be more specialized
-assign new equipment/armor to give the New Game experience a fresh feeling
-allow players to more quickly and efficiently set up their build by having more focused stats
-create the framework of an actual "Class System" instead of just an array of starting presets


The biggest changes you'll notice are the stat blocks themselves. all 10 classes are now level 1, meaning they all have a total of 80 points allocated to their various stats. They have been reworked to cover certain playstyles, and their stats have been re-assigned to eliminate unneeded points to accomplish that playstyle. Classes that are designed to focus entirely on STR or DEX will not have any points in INT, FTH, or ARC from the start. Those points have been redistributed to to other stats that are more useful to that type of build. This is a double-edged sword, as it will mean much higher starting stats in some categories, but a bigger stat investment if you try to "Multi-class" later in a run.

Class Information
All classes have been renamed and given new lore-friendly descriptions. View the screenshots above for detailed info for each.

Compatibility
compatible with any mod that doesn't modify the regulation.bin or the msg and menu folders.

Installation
Load the mod with Mod Engine 2. I haven't tested any other form of installation and do not know if they will work.

Suggested Mods
Banished Knight Armor (Lemons Edition) matches up the color of the Banished Knight's cape and scarf, along with some other color correction changes. works well with the Knight class.
