Other Features:

• A New Faction: A New faction has come to Qud, with a new starting caste to boot known as the Braver Contenders. This mysterious group of warriors struggle to improve and leave their mark in a cruel and unforgiving world, and to become warrior legends of their own right. The Contenders have many goals based on the individual sub-factions related to each school of martial training. With one even content with sparring and defeating Oboroqoru, the Ape God whose legendary mighty fist strike both fear and respect through their ranks, no contender would give up the chance to say they have tussled with them. You may also run into creature’s that have been trained in one of the various martial school’s ways, so watch out!

• New Martial Styles: A Grappling Class is on the way, in the spirit of the Death Dacca.
  
  
• Item Mods: Special Item mods that will allow for using various weapons alongside the stance system, making them compatible with hand-to-hand bonuses. This will mostly be attributable to daggers, and other small weaponry.
  
  
• More Lore, books and even dojo’s acting as sacred places for each contender school.

Feature Breakdown:

There’s a lot to explain with this mod, so I’m going to leave a lot of stuff to the players to find out as I find that’s part of what makes it fun.

Involving stances, stance synergy isn’t actually depicted however each stance that is unlocked, adds special abilities to other stances and/or expounds on a stance based on what it does performance wise. One example is, the Salt-Hopper path buffs the Slumberling path, by giving it damage bonuses on stunned or dazed opponents. Through chaining styles through stance mastery, one can up their level of fun by engaging in mixed attacks.

If you start in Joppa, the Joppa merchant will carry a book that can give a bit of information into each martial style.

Though this isn’t implemented yet, eventually the cost of learning styles will be increased and encourage the player to seek out the various dojo’s and masters, to learn the various Martial Styles.
