Burning Will: A Runaway Rework Mod

Description
Nothing remains... save a burning will to survive.

This mod looks to rework Runaway in the same way previous heroes have been reworked to keep them different and engaging. This mod has changed 3 different skills on Wander, 6 skills on Arsonist and Orphan and 7 skills on Survivor. All aimed to give Runaway a variety of roles in her different paths that feel unique.

I normally publish the list of changes on the same mod but due to Steam character’s limits, it’s not possible. Please refer to This Google Docs file[docs.google.com] for the complete changelog.

Watchlist
  • Knitted Blanket, which has some potential to be too much in tandem with Arsonist, speaking of which…
  • Arsonist changes might need some tweaks because they have the potential of being too much.

Acknowledgments

  • @GNiko for creating the thumbnail image for this mod and also for providing early feedback on the first iteration of Survivor.
  • @michaelmichaelmichaels and @darkestsoda for feedback on the iterations of Arsonist.
  • The folks at Grave Raptors and Darkest Dungeon Discord channels who provided feedback and ideas for this mod. I might not remember all of them at the moment, but many of the ideas ended in this mod so it would not be the same without them.

Known bugs
Due to the workaround I used to create path skills, some skills appear as Mastered on The Crossroads and you can't use the Alt key to see the upgraded version. You can check the upgraded skills on The Inn though. Those skills include

  • Arsonist: Smokescreen, Hearthlight, Backdraft.
  • Survivor: Smokescreen.
  • Orphan: Smokescreen, Firefly, Run and Hide, Hearthlight.

Folks, due to the workaroun I use to make custom path skills, it is causing that when you're using Wanderer and master the mentioned path skills, you'll noticed a version of this skill with the Unlock icon that can be mastered again, which will occupy additional space. On both Confessions and Kingdoms those skills can be "unlocked. Please do not upgrade those fake skills since it will potentially make them useless and break the game. I added a note for each fake "Mastered" skill to indicate you should not upgrade them.

Oh boy, it has been a while... I have made a new update for this mod

Arsonist: Reduced the burn from Searing Strike, Searing Strike+ and Firefly+ by 1
Orphan: Increased the cooldown of Hearthlight and Hearthlight+ by 1 more turn
Knitted Blanket has been completely reworked.

Enjoy!

your idea is super great! though, especially of survivor and of orphan, some skills are too overpowered. some other characters are just downgraded version of those two I think. Still your work is amazing, but please lower the power a little bit if you can :)

Sorry for poor Eng

This looks really sweet. Love some of the ideas you have in here for Runaway tweaks, very creative! Excited to try this one out.
