It would be important to point out that this mod unlike the original ''Female Crusader'' does not ovewrite the original save files and cause problems because of that. ''trait_library.json'' is gone which caused the main problem but there still is a ''Modfiles.txt''. I presume it is the new one you made that isn't broken. With that out of the way great rework.

man its a shame i cant get it running, it conflicts with another mod and causes the game to crash during a load into the save. ive tried moving it to the very top of all the heroes but it doesnt work so any advice to get it running would be appreciative

I agree, I also like enjoy this mod much more than the Chaplain. I find this character's kit more fun than the Chaplain's, and it's definitely more balanced... Though she still feels more powerful than most base game heroes it's not by such a large margin like the other class. The Chaplain mod does have slightly better art around the face area and a better name however.

I kind of like this one better than the "Chaplain" class mod which uses the same art, but you've got to admit, that's a much better name than "Female Crusader".
Ever think about tweaking this a little more? Like a name change, for one. Maybe the Paladin or something.

found a game breaking issue, when the mod is installed the game crashes to desktop whenever I click the shard trinket vendor (color of madness one)
I tested it only having this mod installed and it kept crashing.

I assumed the author meant it doesn't rework the in game crusader, not sure though.

Oooooh, okay. Link is fixed, the disclaimer makes much more sense now.

What does it mean by "DO NOT INSTALL IF YOU EXPECT THIS TO REWORK THE ORIGINAL CRUSADER" ?

Is "original crusader" a mod? Or is this referring to the default crusader in-game?
Does this mod rework the default Crusader or not...?

The "Female Crusader" link in the description seems to be broken?

yooo

I don't know about you, but while I think the original author did a remarkable job animating the class using a mix of mostly re-used art assets from the crusader and a few new ones, there are a few things in those assets that bother me.
Mainly the upturned visor for the idle and walking animations.
The tip of the visor still retains the bit of shadow denoting the going-back-around that the original crusader asset has, which doesn't take into account the slightly different perspective when it's turned up.
I went ahead and adjusted it up a bit on my own, and a few other things while I was at it. (The face sprite under the helmet is the same as is used for the camping sprite, which doesn't properly take into account how the helmet would occlude the brow area, in my opinion.)

If you want, I could share the idle and walking assets for each pallet with just the fixed visor. Or alternatively the ones that include the changes to the brow as well.

I know, I just fixed that last night. If need be, force an update by reinstalling the mod.

By the way, persecution certainly bypasses and prevents guards, but currently doesn't actually break them.

Or, to be the idea guy for a sec, it could be made into a kind of stress tanking skill, and mirror image of BoF, at -30% stress, self mark and all.
Although, in that case, being usable in the middle 2 ranks would probably be more suitable than the front 2.

As for Bulwark of Patience, considering the Crusader's Bulwark of Faith as a benchmark.
At +20 prot, -20 stress BoP's got some high values, considering BoF's total of +30 prot with the additional (arguable) downside of the self mark.
Were it up to me, I'd probably bring BoP down to +10 prot, -20 stress or +20 prot, -10 stress.

One thing I'd probably change are the values on her buffs.
In general, as far as battle long party buffs go, I'd be hesitant to go past a total of 30% at max level when it comes to values, considering the Man-at-arms' Bolster as a kind of benchmark at 10 dodge and -20 stress.
Furthermore, since the game has a tendency to always round up, with 3 separate values on something like Light of Hope, it'd always be valuable in some way, even at just 10% for +prot, +heals and -stress each. Basically 3 quirks in one.
For instance, at just 10% + healing received, due to how heals received works specifically, it'll already increase something like the Flagellant's reclaim regen from 4 to 5 per tick. Just +10% should also be pretty effective at reaching breakpoints for chunky single target heals, too.

Thanks for this.
While the more or less original versions of this were the sort of crusader style stress healer I've been hoping for, the crimson court set that you've devised gives it that extra synergy with the Crusader that allows for the use of holy lance as a way of dispatching the enemy back lines.
And at an acceptable cost at that.
Very good.

he said its a rework but without mentioning the original Author....!

he literally said that it's a rework in the title

reminds me of a mod from KaiSe....
did you make this yourself?

Seems a good mod
