darkestdungeon Darkest Dungeon Class Mod Ideas

[CrimsonVanguard]

I don't have the knowledge or expertise to mod new Classes into Darkest Dungeon. But what I do have is ideas. More than 65 detailed pages of them.

If anyone would be willing to shoulder any of these, I would be super grateful. Just leave a comment letting me know which one. Feel free to modify them. I have all these just sitting around, and I want to get them out there so they might see some use. If this is in the wrong Forum, please link to the correct one, and I will move this discussion there. (It was originally- I've moved it since)

I have fleshed out designs for:

A handfull of Trinkets, Quirks, and Diseases

Evangel (Loyalty Swap, Support)

Brigand (Loyalty swap, Damage)

Raider (Extreme Damage, Glass Cannon)

Solder (Non-healing Support)

Shade (Tank)

Druid (Support, Targeted Hate)

Porter (Support, Carrying Capacity)

Hunter (Survivability, Versatility)

Grenadier (Burst Damage)

Marcher (Support, Debuffer)

Pyromancer (Damage, torch)

Duelist (Versatility, Riposte)

Vanguard (Support, Damage)

Dryad (Support, Support, Support)

Tidemaster (Chaos, Debuffer)

Monstrosity (Does basically everything at the cost of Stress)

Aristocrat (Tank, Bleeder)

Here we go. If you're wondering why there's so much, it's because some of this is almost a year old. It begins:

A porter is literally someone who carries your stuff. The idea is he would be nearly useless in combat, but puts down a little more support than the antiquarian. He makes up for this in a similar way to the antiquarian- He increases the volume of your inventory. The Porter doubles the capacity of every non-gold stack- including heirlooms, food, and other provisions. The Porter carries two weapons: A study stave and a beloved flute.

Weapons:

Cracked Flute → Repaired Flute → Trusty Flute → Beloved Flute → “Song of Serenity”

Armor:

Ripped Tunic → Filthy Tunic → Leather Tunic → Mail-Backed Tunic → “Force of Endurance”

The Hunter specializes in versatile damage, along with increasing the survivability of your team. Equipped with simple leather armor and a longbow, the Hunter is not a very tough hero, but makes up for it through her extreme ability to support your team. She has higher base accuracy that any other class, meaning she will almost never miss, but deals only moderate damage.

Grenadier

“The scent of Brimstone and a flash of light herald a man of little subtlety”

 

The Grenadier operates in a similar way to Brigand Vwulf. He marks a position in the enemy line with an explosive and then detonates it, dealing massive damage. He cannot detonate the explosives immediately, however- He has to wait a turn. Only one rank per side can be marked this way at a time (Across up to four possible grenadiers). He carries a musket and a sack of grenades.

Going for the classic British grenadier style, with the fur hat.

Barks:

Critical (Enemies):

• “Haha! They shatter beneath our wrath!”

Powerful:

• “Let the fires speak your name!”

Stalwart:

• “No mere beast or monstrosity will end me!”

Vigorous:

• “The fuse of time will continue to burn.”

Focused:

• “The fuse has nearly run its course, fiend!”

Paranoid:

• “Don’t touch the fuse, you fool! What are you trying to do?”

Selfish:

• “These are expensive. I expect compensation.”

Irrational:

• “The fires are burning backwards!”

Abusive:

• “You’d be a more effective fighter if you actually fought.”

Masochistic:

• “Yes! Rend my flesh! It will not matter soon enough!”

Hopeless:

• “The fuse won’t light!”

Targeted by Heart of Darkness for Death:

• “I suppose my fuse has run short…”

Camping:

• “Wait, I think one’s smoldering…” (Check Fuses)

Marcher

“A young boy… prone to dreams of glory”

The Marcher is a mid rank support character that buffs the team and debuffs the enemy. He is fairly weak in terms of stats- a little better than the antiquarian- but makes up for it by empowering the team.

Should look like a young human version of the Swine Marcher, but obviously less ritualistic.

Barks:

Critical (Enemies):

• “Hear the march of justice!”

Powerful:

• “The rhythm will break you!”

Stalwart:

• “Hold the line!”

Vigorous:

• “Is it I who prospers when the drum beats true?”

Focused:

• “I am attuned to the beating heart of the world!”

Paranoid:

• “Yes, you would like me to lead the way, my back to you!”

Selfish:

• “If you won’t follow the march, then I’m going home. I’ve done enough.”

Irrational:

• “Father always said I could be anything, so I’m a mushroom!”

Abusive:

• “You’re out of step, soldier!”

Masochistic:

• “Yes, strike at the drummer! You cowards!”

Hopeless:

• “I’ve broken the membrane!”

Targeted by Heart of Darkness for Death:

• “Every song must end…”

Pyromancer

“She weaves flame and fury into a tapestry of destruction, terrible to behold”

Her uncooled anger can decimate the enemies before her, but will occasionally singe her allies. She possesses no healing abilities, so she is dependant on her companions to keep her alive. In addition, many of her attacks increase the light level, making Pitch-Black darkness a little difficult to maintain.

Barks:

Critical (Enemies):

• “Burn!”

Powerful:

• “Do not merely smolder; Burn brighter than the sun!”

Stalwart:

• “My flame crackles on!”

Vigorous:

• “Fire can be wild, yes- but not in my hands!”

Paranoid:

• “Stop trying to put out the flame!”

Selfish:

• “These flames are for me alone.”

Irrational:

• “I’ll need kindling, then some fresh wood. Snap to it!”

Abusive:

• “It’s your very presence that smothers the spark!”

Masochistic:

• “Singe thyselves!”

Hopeless:

• “My fire has gone out!”

• “I’m so cold…”

Targeted by Heart of Darkness for Death:

• “You mean to snuff out my flame, fiend. I hope it burns your hand!”

Duelist

“He dances to a tune that only he can hear.”

The Narrator on recruiting the Duelist

The Duelist dances across the battlefield with unparalleled grace and speed. Armed with a elegant rapier and a weighted net, he specializes in lunges and retreats, stunning foes, and counterattacking when struck.

Going for a mix of a Balder Knight and Voldaren Duelist in terms of aesthetics.

Barks:

Critical (Enemies):

• “A blade through the soul strikes deeper than the heart!”

Powerful:

• “You’ve already fallen. All we must do is bury you.”

Stalwart:

Vigorous:

• “Do you hear the music to which I dance?”

Focused:

Paranoid:

• “My second turns on me…”

Selfish:

Irrational:

Abusive:

“I do not like this one. Her eyes pierce my soul, and set me ill at ease.”

The Narrator on Recruiting the Vanguard

The Vanguard is an Angel. She wields only her voice, but her song is a force to be reckoned with. She deals colossal damage against non-Human enemies (she gets -50% DMG vs. Human and +100% DMG vs non-human), relieves stress, and heals her team. She is not religious herself , but she gives a bonus to religious allies (-10% Stress).

Selfish:

• “This light is mine, and mine alone!”

Irrational:

Targeted by Heart of Darkness for Death:

• “Fell me if you can. We will dance again ere long, brother.” (Resist Deathblow, cannot be targeted for remainder of quest.)

Camping:

• “I’ll watch over you. Sleep, my friends.” (Always Watching)

• “I could cure your affliction, if you are willing.” (To Abomination)

  • (Abomination responds) “This is my burden, fair one. Thank you, but I must carry it alone.”

Death’s Door:

“Evil may have claimed these lands, with her power, I shall take them back!”

The Narrator on recruiting the Dryad

Monstrosity

“A Failed Experiment, Alone and Forgotten”

• Narrator on Recruiting the Monstrosity

The Monstrosity is a kindred spirit to the Abomination. Neither can serve with Religious heros, and both can inflict stress upon their teammates. The Monstrosity is immune to stress damage from the Abomination, and the abomination is immune to stress damage from the Monstrosity. She is a child taken from the hamlet by the ancestor, and trapped in the Warrens while his experiments wreaked havoc of her body and mind. She is powerful, immortal, and forever trapped in the mind of a youngling.

Barks:

Critical (Enemies):

• “Taken by the very strength you worship!

Powerful:

• “You have given me the strength to destroy you!”

Stalwart:

• “Worry not, friends! This power is mine, not theirs!”

Vigorous:

• “In darkness I find strength. In light I find purpose.”

Focused:

• “I reject what you’ve made me.”

Paranoid:

• “You think I am a chosen of the New God, don’t you?”

Selfish:

• “I do this only to cure my ailment. You are all irrelevant!”

Irrational:

• “My dearest friend, your paws are loose.”

Abusive:

• “You never would have survived what I did! Care to try?”

Masochistic:

• “Cut away the twisted flesh that binds me!”

Hopeless:

• “Please! Never again! I can’t…”

Targeted by Heart of Darkness for Death:

• “You… you twisted me into what I am. But I will unmake you!”

Camping:

• “I see a door… and a man in a long yellow coat. No, not him! Never again!” (Flashback)

Aristocrat

“A single drop of blood… for a sea of power.”

-The Narrator on recruiting the Aristocrat

The Aristocrat is a Vampire. She derives her power from consuming the blood of both allies and enemies; Her main combat ability, Flashing Fangs, applies bleed while buffing herself to heal from others’ bleed damage. She cares not for the purification of the Hamlet, but for the redemption of her own family, which has fallen from grace. (I’m assuming storyline, this is kind of irrelevant.) She is a tank-like Class, in that she absorbs damage. However, she does not have high HP; instead she constantly heals from bleed and attacks. The Aristocrat’s Bleed Resistance is locked at 200% and cannot be reduced. Designed in anticipation of the Crimson Court.

Aesthetically should look like a mix of Olivia Voldaren and Stromkirk Occultist

A huge thanks to Ghostseeker for designing the Reaver, a better version of the Brigand Design!

Hello CrimsonVanguard! I know this post is over three years old now. Would you by chance have any more mod ideas left? I would like to integrate a class into Darkest Dungeon. Thank you in advance.
