The Boatswain Class Mod

Description
"You cannot turn back time, but you can do your job better from here on out."

Boatswain demands the most out of his crewmates but gives twice as much in return. In spite of his harsh way of being, if you look close, you can still see sparks in the eyes of a man who went through more than anyone ever should.





Boatswain is a mobile, aggresive support class that specializes in shuffling the enemy team, making sure that the main damage dealers can deliver killing blows to the right targets.
He can also dish out damage on his own when situated in the front row as well as bolster party's survivability via buffing and guarding.
His most powerfull skills revolve around stressing party out, thus consider bringing adequate trinkets or appropriate classes to fit his team.






Boatswain comes in four different color palettes, brings five new class-restricted trinkets and two events, one of which generates a Boatswain right after installing the mod, the other happens after defeating a certain boss.
Boatswain is not religious. His default name is Silver.






The mod currently only has an English translation but is playable on every language version of the game. If you'd like to help in translating the mod feel free to contact me on Discord (Reebalt#0869)



This mod probably wouldn't come to life if not for the Moonlit Dungeon modding community.
Come by the Moonlit Dungeon Discord[discord.gg], the modding hub for Darkest Dungeon and the best place to see previews of upcoming mods, learn to mod, find artists and animators, beta test mods, give feedback to mod authors, or generally hang out and talk about DD!

Big thanks to everyone who helped me with problem fixing along the way and especially to
The Holy Chicken, who got me interested in DD modding in the first place!

Feel free to comment on any problems and issues you encounter. I tried testing most of the features myself but it's more than likely that I didn't catch everything. Also keep in mind I neither own nor know any of the DLCs, so the mod doesn't include any features connected with Crimson Court or The Color of Madness.

Have fun playing!

@TheSaviorOfSouls much appreciated! Happy you like it and thanks for commenting too.
To be fair the criticism is most likely justified. I am fine having that project closed and seeing some people still enjoy it

Just to offset the usual whining on class mods, super fun design and the "animations" look great. Thanks for providing more fun characters and keeping the game fresh.

His Guard only lasts 1 turn. Not sure if its intentional, maybe you forgot that it ticks down by 1 immediately - but it shouldn't be a thing.
This skill offers too little benefit to only be a 1 turn guard, and i think it should be available pos4 aswell.

ramming maneuver should be available pos 2 to be able to set the Boatswain up for the position 1 exclusive Mooring Blow
It would not be OP at all. the bounty hunter has uppercut that also knocks the enemy back 2 but is a much more useful, used and reliable skill because it stuns. It is a valid comparison

It's a missed opportunity for the Boatswain's predetermined name to be Gustaf or Johansen after the sole surviving sailor of the Emma from The Call of Cthulhu short story.

man, class isnt terrible, But every other dash in the game has +damage modifier, not -50% lol, also, only pos1 attack is a big nono, get moved by the enemy - waste a turn for -50 or manual movement ? Bad design

@Markus really happy you enjoy the mod and sure! Go ahead and have fun!
EDIT : Feel free to shoot me a message if you need help making art assetts for the trinkets or just in case you'd have any questions regarding the boatswain

I like the mod concept and the characterization of the Boatswain! His move set is pretty good in encouraging mark and shuffle teams. I am on the same boat about the lack of CC and CoM Trinkets though..... Would it be alright with you if I went ahead and made a mod to add in trinkets for those? You'd get full credit!
