A few things to note:
- I'm going to wait until I have a decent amount of content in the mod (around 200 items minimum) before I officially publish it (unless enough people want it right away)
- Suggestions and requests for the mod are first come first serve, so if you want me to make a custom vanity set for example, it will have to wait until I finish everything else first
- I will be updating the state of the mod, along with screenshots hopefully, every week at least
I just finished outlining/designing a class system but I'm not sure if I should implement it...
It works like this:
Players will start with the option to choose a class at the beginning of the game. Once they've chosen a class, they cannot change it for that character.
Subclasses do not count as classes, meaning if a player selects a class they have access to all it's subclasses
(I may make an expensive way to change it late in the game but for now it stays as is)
Once the player chooses a class, they will notice that they now have two new UI bars,
Class Level Bar: The same across all classes, when you kill enemies or bosses or complete quests using your class's native damage types and abilities, you will gain experience
Class Skill Bar: Each class has it's own skill bar which works differently depending on the class, it allows for special abilities
Once the player levels up, they will receive a skill point, which can be used as a currency with the Wise Old Man NPC to unlock new traits, abilities, and skills
Traits are innate to the character and do not have to be activated, essentially acts as a buff, for example, immunity to knockback or increased melee speed might be some available traits
Abilities are things that the player can use/activate to do certain things, abilities can be mapped to a hotkey of the player's choice. Examples: Flurry Strike, Enchanted Armor
Skills are things that must be unlocked before a player can do certain things, for example a player might get a skill that allows them to climb on walls, but it doesn't have to be activated
A player that uses items related to their class will both do more damage and level up more quickly, however, there is no disadvantage to using other class items, for example, a ranged class can still use swords, and a healer class can still use shields, although some special items may require you to be a particular class to use or craft
Essentially, the class system leaves vanilla mostly untouched, a player could ignore the class system entirely and have no different an experience than normal
The class system currently has 11 classes, each with at least 3 sub-classes, 36 total. The list is as follows:
- Warrior Class -
Focus: Melee Damage | Skill: Stamina
Blade: Trained with swords, rapiers, and other bladed weapons

Let me know below what you think^, I will be posting more details on each subclass soon!
I AM CURRENTLY
- Working out exactly how classes would work
- Writing down all my cool ideas
- Adding DOZENS of early game items - swords and bows get old after a while
Please please please, feel more than free to post suggestions, advice, ideas, warnings, or anything at all really that will help me out
Hopefully I can generate some excitement around my mod, and more importantly, hopefully you guys can help me come up with some cool stuff!
