How do (remove exclusivity)?
If you want to use these classes as a Seraph (or another custom race), all you need to do is delete the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="background-color: #f1c40f;">patches</span></span> folder.
Why do?
I've wanted to create a class mod for a long time.
Thanks to dipping my toes into .json editing again, with my mini recipe patch mods - and a huge bout of thanks to Wulk in particular, both for giving me their grace to use their fun lil' mod as a baseline, and even helping me to learn how to write patches! - I've finally dragged myself to do it.
Why Drocusts in particular? I just love 'em! They're an incredibly unique race that still slots into Vintage Story's general themeing, rather than being wholly "inserted" fantasy (absolutely no hate to orrukin and kobolds, love you guys too 🧡).
Can help (feedback)??
Yes! I'd actually love your feedback for stat balancing!
While I'm relatively happy with how these are printed as-is, I'm very open to changes that would be more suitable, whether thematically or purely for mechanical balance.
Sometimes you just need an extra pair of eyes to find something you may have looked over.
AAAH! HELP?! (Support)
Got bugs? 🐛 I have a Mod Forum on Discord, which is the best available contact and place to dump your crashlogs! I do still check ModDB, so it's not exclusive, just preferred. 👍
