Class: The Lost

#1 Post by Kamani »

Note: This is an release and balance may be weird because I am not very good at balancing things. If you want a bit more polished class, wait a few days.
Adds a new class, the Lost, designed by Thornstromb and developed by me.
The Lost is a new Afflicted class based around a hybrid of Archery and Stealth. Skulking in the shadows, the Lost is filled with a piercing hatred for the living.
A nasty glass cannon that relies on tools and inscriptions for survival, but does atrocious amounts of damage while undetected. You have an alternate version of stealth that never breaks, and while you have no inbuilt source of stamina regen, as a Willpower-main class you'll have plenty of stamina for most fights.

You can find the addon on te4 at https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/kam_thorns_insanity, or you can find it on Steam.

Brief feedback after a first test playthrough:
- You have a very low overall chance of marking (10% on every attack, second 10% while unseen), which makes the mark bonuses kinda hard to use without Sniper.
- Funnily enough, you can chain-mark enemies, as your "red category" shots can actually mark (they can't for an archer.) Chain Headshots are fun ;)
- You are fairly squishy and die to mages, but weapon users that aren't Cursed will usually be hampered by your stealth.
- As the coder of Banished, which has Cursed/Hunting, I thank you for calling it Cursed/Hunter.
- Predator has no stat requirements. Intended?
- You have insane accuracy - you are a dex class, have Predator and have Skulk.
- The second and third Shroud talent both have level 8 stat requirements.

Overall pretty fun to play though!

Predator doesn't have any stat req in basegame either so you're asking the wrong guy :^)

On those:
- Yeah, the mark chance for unseen was supposed to be higher, I've increased it for the next update.
- ... whoops. I failed to consider that. For the next version, only the shoot talent itself will get the bonus mark chance from being unseen.
- Yeah, that tracks.
- I didn't even know about Banished, so I'm glad I didn't name it Hunting. That was lucky.
- Speak to Darkgod about that, Predator is not my tree, I just altered one talent to check for ranged crits in addition to melee.
- Oh, yeah, I suppose you do get tons of accuracy. Don't know if that needs a nerf or anything, I'll see how that balances out....
- ... whoops. I literally just typo'd that one, thanks for letting me know.

Thanks for the feedback.
