This Mod adds 15 completely custom “Classes” to the game, each accessible by equipping its respective Ring into one of Elden Rings Talisman slots.
A player may only equip one of these Rings at a time.
The Classes aim to emulate the feel of classes in classic RPG's like Dungeons and Dragons, encouraging specialization of players into certain roles in order to take on challenges as a diverse team.
Because of this, the mod is obviously intended to be played in multiplayer, preferably with the Seamless Co-op mod.

The Rings can be picked up in several locations, handpicked to fit each class.
A Bundle of Notes can be bought in Kalé’s shop which details most of these locations.
Due to technical limitations the items could only be placed in existing item locations, so if any given location has already been looted, that Ring is unobtainable for that playthrough.

The Classes currently available are:
Spellblade, Druid, Tank, Swashbuckler, Priest, Paladin, Pyromancer, Ranger, Cryomancer, Mage, Assassin, Vampire, Barbarian, Dragon Knight
and one more secret class for you to uncover...







This Mod is an addon for ERR - Elden Ring Reforged by Kirnifr and intended to be used with Seamless Co-op by LukeYui.
It is heavily inspired and based off of Class Talismans by Sirlolleth, make sure to check out their mod as well.
All credits for the installer go to Mountlover and his work on DSMSPortable.
Feel free to check out OneLostGamer's Arrow Expansion mod, which is fully compatible with RoT.
The Mod is currently balanced around Multiplayer PvE, and we don't intend to balance it around PvP, though feel free to try as it is very fun regardless.

FIND NOTES ABOUT WHERE THE RINGS ARE:





THE CLASSES:

Spellblade (Ring of the Artificer)

Manifest your sheer knowledge over the course of battle, and unleash it in devastating blows.

- attack enemies repeatedly to infuse your weapons with magic and flame
- unleash the stockpiled energy with devastating weapon skills





Druid (Ring of the Brewmaster)

Become an uncontrollable force that will plow through anyone and anything that stands between you and emptying that next bottle.

- drink Cerulean Tears to empower your kicks and punches, flinging and flattening enemies
- drink Crimson Tears to boost your defenses and heal over time





Tank (Ring of the Challenger)

Become a pillar of your party by constantly keeping the aggression of your foes on you and bravely take every strike.



- protect your team and keep foes at bay with various powerful bonuses to your Deflects(ERR feature)
- storm into battle with a Shield equipped to overrun the enemy





Swashbuckler (Ring of the Daredevil)

Keep close to the enemy with filigree flourishes and let the adrenaline fuel your finesse, but beware: Once you go too deep there may be no easy way out.

- Deflect enemy attacks (ERR feature) repeatedly without getting hit to gain as many stacks as you dare
- stacks hyperbolically increase both outgoing and incoming damage: high risk - high reward





Priest / Cleric (Ring of the Devoted)

Evoke the Gods’ aid to cheat death and empower your party in a vicious last stand.

- when getting close to death, explode in retaliation, healing and buffing the entire team
- gain a discount on incantations so you can spam those heal spells





Paladin (Ring of the Faithful)

Go on a merciless crusade without rest, smiting every heathen in your path and become empowered for every heretical soul you fell.



- gain an infinitely stacking lightning damage buff for every enemy you kill without dying or resting
- every 15 seconds, unleash a thunderous smite for even more damage





Pyromancer / Monk (Ring of the Kindling)

Keep the fire alight through rapid combos of spells and attacks. But don’t let your inner flame consume you.

- consume HP in exchange for enhanced fire spells that also buff your weapons
- hit the enemy with that buff to regain your HP and more





Ranger / Archer (Ring of the Marksman)

Let your inhuman accuracy make you a precise and deadly hunter from a distance, but very frail in close quarters.



- custom reticule and reworked projectile physics
- special arrows that return after a set time and mark enemies, lowering their defense





Cryomancer (Ring of the Rimeguard)

Become a stalwart of frost, your ice-cold presence freezing both your enemies and yourself. However, unlike them, you thrive in the cold.



- fling ice spells like crazy to eventually Frostbite yourself
- once Frostbitten, storm into close quarters to put all your foes on ice





Mage (Ring of the Scholar)

Bombard the battlefield from afar with deadly sorceries, but mind your wounds, they hinder your concentration.

- cast incredibly potent spells while at high health, but lose that efficiency the lower your health gets






Assassin (Ring of the Shade)

Assault your targets from the shadows and escape unseen, chaining backstabs to remain invisible.



- deal increased critical damage
- on exclusively backstabs, get "Unseen Form" cast on you for free






Vampire (Ring of the Thirsting)

Transform yourself into an accursed being with unholy powers, but don't let your unquenchable thirst be your undoing.

- drain the blood of your enemies to keep yourself alive
- when triggering Bloodloss, grow even more powerful






Barbarian (Ring of the Unheeding)

Storm into battle with reckless abandon and worry about the consequences later, your primal rage keeping you alive.



- HP rally mechanic: recover lost health by attacking (similar to Malenia's Great Rune)
- fully charged attacks with big weapons instantly execute enemies below 15% HP






Dragon Knight (Ring of the Waning)

Obtain the power of the dragons to unleash their mighty fury onto the battlefield. But beware, for you are no longer complete without it.

- cast Dragon Communion incantations and gain unique buffs for each and every one
- breaths buff your weapon, Dragonmaw heals you, Dragonclaw increases damage, and Greyoll's Roar raises poise
 





And one more secret class for you to uncover...

Hint: The final class is part of a scavenger hunt which you may stumble across during the early game.
But there is a certain item available to you before you even start playing, that may prove very useful on that hunt.
