Gloam Unique Recruit

Have you ever wanted a P4 Unit in your squad?
Introducing Gloam! The cool, one-armed P4 Unit!

Gloam is a unique recruit found in Black Scratch. He will wander between the bars found in the city and can be recruited through dialogue options.

He has no stats and is missing an arm, but hey, it's a free recruit! And the only guaranteed P4 Unit!

Gloam starts with an Authentic Skeleton Repair Kit (to prevent him from randomly bleeding to death as an NPC), but otherwise has no other items.

Normally, P4 Unit Skeletons are only found as recruits with a random low chance (as they can potentially spawn as a Generic Recruit), but now you can get one for free!

Gloam has a unique dialogue package, although a lot of lines are shared by the generic Skeleton dialogue package. He also has two unique biome lines (although one is shared with Burn). I plan on expanding his dialogue even more in the future, but for now the mod is functional and offers something a little unique, since normally, P4 Units are very rare.

I personally am pairing this mod with Weaponsmith Apprentice Start (as part of an RP of mine), which spawns you at Brink as an unarmed character who recently was forced to leave his post as a weaponsmith apprentice. He's got a few stats that are detailed on the mod page, linked below:

This mod can be kept fairly high in load order as long as you don't have any mods that remove the bars from Black Scratch. I'm not sure what would happen to Gloam's AI if he doesn't have a bar to wander to, but he might still show up. You can still use mods that edit Black Scratch (I know I do), as long as they don't remove ALL bars.

P.S. Although I've never had any issues recruiting Gloam (even with a 300+ modded game), I updated this mod and added Gloam's introduction dialogue in two separate locations. Long story short, I hope this improves compatibility with other mods.
