Skan's Starts 3

This mod adds 15+ game starts.
It has no requirements.
Not compatible with Skan's Starts 2. The starts in this mod have lower stats than their old counterparts, but they are generally easier than Kenshi's default starts.

You are free to translate, edit, and integrate my mods to your own, just give credit in the description.

DRIFTERS
Three good friends, moderately trained and supplied, prepare to leave town accompanied by a pathetic weakling who wants to tag along.

RONIN
You've been surprisingly lucky as a wandering swordsman, and have become quite skilled. Maybe your luck will run out.

HOLY MONK
After years of devoting your flesh and blood to spreading the light of Okran, the Holy King has finally recognized your service, and rewarded you with a special cup!

THE FALLEN MASTER
A humiliated master of combat who has been defeated and left for dead. They took almost everything you had, but you still have your skills.

SHINOBI THIEF
You've just completed your initiation to the Shinobi thieves. Congrats!

HUMBLE NOMADS
Following a harsh drought, a group of nomads, some goats, and their beloved dog set out to find a new home.

THE LIMPING BOWMAN
You've got a bow, the wrong bolts, and a broken leg. You're lost in the wasteland and the bounty hunters are coming. Nice job.
*Kenshi automatically spawns ammo on characters that have bows, so you will spawn with both Bolts[Regular] and Bolts[Longs]. To roleplay this start you can just drop the Bolts[Regular].

THE STRANDED NINJAS
Two weeks ago, six ninjas chased their target into the Foglands. Today, three starving ninjas are stranded in Mongrel.

DISGRUNTLED SWAMPERS
The fortune teller was wrong, and Griggs got eaten by zorks when he tried to kidnap the shaman. Now we're directionless. At least we know not to trust fortune tellers.

THE BOXER
A lifetime of training has made you one of the greatest martial artists in the world, left to wander in search of a worthy foe.

LOST EXILES
An exiled noble and a loyal samurai, lost in the middle of nowhere with a bounty on their heads.

HIVE FREAKS
You guys are a bit... off. The hive doesn't hate you, they just want you to go away. You're weird and you smell funny.

DISGRACED SHEK
Time and time again, you have failed your family and your people. This was the last time. Face honorable death now or flee like you always have.

SHEK GLORY SEEKERS
Three young Shek leave home to prove their worth in battle.

DEADLAND EXCURSION
Four skeletons at the end of their lives say goodbye to the black desert as they begin a final joyless trek through the deadlands.

THE DEFECT
A patchwork skeleton slowly crumbles away in the wastes. Will he perish, or be reborn?
