Contemplator

Contemplator - AoE Slow & Party Support AUTHOR - Greg Murrell REQUIRES - Requires my "Resources" mod to work. If downloaded without this mod, you will crash the game. THANKS - McFrugal and RyMarq for balance & design feedback. Eldiran, for coding help. DESC - AoE Slow, the class. Designed to introduce the "Speed" status into Horizon's Gate, with this class being the premier Slow-setting class. Per its aesthetic, it shares Prayer with Scholar. It also provides a few other neat control & support skills. +3 innate Time is aesthetic but also makes it a poor class to equip. Still, it's superb as either a secondary skillset for a support unit, or for Cresting one of its main abilities. INSPIRE - Inspired by time spent in Adoration Chapel. A class of the luminous darkness, where dark is more about humility, sorrow with hope, and prayerful & mystic contemplation, rather than "teh evulz". I thought it might be aesthetically unique. MECHANICS - Speed status. When you end your turn, the next turn comes either faster (positive Speed status) or slower (negative Speed status). Faster brings the next turn 5% faster for each level of speed, while Slower brings the next turn +2 Time slower for each level of speed.

Consumes bones and ruin triggers within Prayer's area. Doesn't activate on bone equipment or fossils. NOTES "Prayer is a Scholar skill" This class shares Prayer with Scholar. Levelling up Prayer in one class also levels it up in the same class, because they're the same skill. It's ... odd, but a skill called "Prayer" just simply belongs on a class like thus, and Prayer's function also fits very well here. While I'm of the mind that MP restoration skills such as this shouldn't come on early classes like Scholar, I have changed this from previous versions and declined to modify existing classes in this mod. So this mod simply gives two classes with Prayer.
