can use give him more skull face? or more anorectic body? it will look better.

Nice. It would be nice to have a skin that makes flag look like his DD2 counterpart

@Some idoit lol (not rly) I'm glad you share the same sentiment. Would've been odd if the Maniac could be paired with the said classes.

Also I'd like to thank you for pointing out that Maniac's crit buff gives him bleed chance instead of the more logical blight chance. It went under my radar!

This mod is pretty cool and I think the removal of flag and manic or double manic is a good balancing choice

I'll be on the look out for any problems with the 1.2 version. Be sure to report any issues and I'll issue a hotfix ASAP!

1.2 Version Update:
- New affliction: Toxic
- String files (barks, monologue, descriptions)
- Fixed Maniac's crit buff (Now increases blight chance instead of bleed chance)
- Added incompatibility with the following classes: Maniac, Flagellant

Enjoy the mod!

@шизопостинг The seemingly strange choice for a name stems from the fact that the other two alternatives (Scourge, Exanimate) are already taken or soon will be. Given the circumstances, Maniac just happened to be the best choice. I hope you appreciate a little bit of trivia about this mod.

I hope you enjoyed the mod!

>maniac hero
>based on wanderer path, not maniac
Nice mod, but Maniac doesn't look withered enough, it needs couple small changes imo.

His crit bonus is a 20% Bleed bonus

One of the trinkets can be made like this
-50% blight resist +50% blight amount received
When the hero is hit - blight to the enemy 3 damage for 3 turns (140%) chance
a good analogue of riposte will turn out
debuffs can be made even higher

@California Boys Hero spawn percentage is a common problem, even with other mods. Seems like RNG just doesn't favour you at the moment...

Upgrade your stage coach if you haven't and pray to RNGesus to increase your chances of success. I'll add an immediate town event and a couple of other events to recruit him later on but now I'm working on his custom affliction and string files.

I hereby grant you a blessing of RNG. May fortune favor you!

I can't seem to get him in my old run - do I need to start a fresh new save to get him? Cuz I can buy his dedicated items, but it's been like 10weeks(ingame) and he's still not avaiable to get for me. // or am I just really unlucky

Oh, I see what you mean

That can be accomplished without a riposte I think. I'll see what I can do with Adots (actor dots) to replicate the Pain ability that the DD2 flagellant has. Perhaps I'll find some other alternative

Thank you for clarifying your suggestion!

I meant a Riposte that does 0 damage. You can put effects riding on Riposte (like a bleed for example, or in this case a 1-turn regen) without it actually attacking. I made Leper's Ruin work like that too (and it's just a buff)

Furthermore, I don't think it would fit the class. The Maniac is based on DD2's flagellant which is based on DD1's flagellant. Neither of those so-called parent classes have the riposte mechanic. Nor would the riposte fit the Maniac thematically, seeing as how withered his body is. Wouldn't he also want to invite more pain to himself? Shooing away potential customers with his scourge would be counter-productive to his goal.

But nonetheless, your suggestion is still valid. I could make a separate mod which is entirely optional and doesn't affect the main mod.

Thank you for the idea and I hope you enjoyed the mod!

@Quick-Fix Hey! I'm a big fan of your extra skills mods. They inspired me to create my first mod which is this one.

My design-philosophy is a little bit different. The riposte mechanic is great! It grants you lots of tempo in combat by being able to do something outside of your turn. There's nothing wrong with the mechanic itself but it's just the fact that it's overused in a lot of other class mods. And I see it as a cheap way to make a class more desirable in terms of its capabilities.

hey you can code More! MORE! as a riposte and get the "react to being attacked" gimmick onto it

@Name is "ERROR"
the Blighted flagellant is DD2 canon

hmm, blighted flagellant. What's next, stun flagellant? Oh wait

@hermit07 Very insightful observations! I'll take them into account when making changes. I'd be fascinated to hear what you have to say once you fully form your opinion.

What do you think of the class trinkets included with this mod? Have they appeared as rewards or random drops during your playthrough?

It is much easier for him than the usual flaggelant to get to his most powerful Sepsis ability, which is activated at a low amount of hp, since 3 of his attacks reduce his health quite well. 4 usage limits is more than enough to win any fight except boss battles, so in addition to the 4 usage limit, I would also give a cooldown of at least 2 turns, since he has another ability that can heal him. Otherwise, I see an excellent frontline blighter who will team up very well with other blighters. I need to play more with him and fight with bosses in order to fully form an opinion about him.

@hermit07 Thanks! I'm glad you like it

What do you think of the combat abilities? Are they needlessly complex or do they hit just the right spot?

I don't really like mods that are essentially skins for an existing class, but this one looks very decent.

1.1 Version Update:
- New art assets: Roster icon, Guild header, Skill fx
- 5 new trinkets
- Class renamed to Maniac (formerly Blighted Flagellant)
- Updated localization files
- Workshop mod page tweaks

Enjoy the mod!

You forgot about the ultimate love triangle - flagellant, blighted flagellant, and plague doctor

Bleed Flagellant and Blighted Flagellant, what a team.
