Stalwart Soldier Class Mod

Description
Adds the Stalwart class to the game.

Just fooling around, thought Id try my hand at modding in a soldier class.

This class focuses on survival, and wont be a solid killing machine. I always liked balanced mods that feel like they were crafted for the game they're made for, and not just some cheat tool, to each their own. For me Id prefer to create a balanced mod. So I'm testing this out in game, trying to tune it to have its niche in a squad.

As it stands now the class can equip the Cannon/Assault Rifle weapons, and uses a Gremlin as a secondary. They can hack better than an average soldier, but not as well as a Specialist. They have no direct combat abilities to kill enemies, but a host of abilities for survival. As I said I'm still working on testing the class, and may adjust the placement of some skills.

While this class only uses skills from other classes (predominately the Ranger & Specialist) I hope to add unique class skills as my understanding of modding the game improves.

Feedback welcome, I doubt this will be all that popular but I figured Id make it available for the mod junkies and people looking for something different.

Hummn... Maybe the Ability Entrench from the FavidsPerkPack? It seems coherent. ^^

Im pretty newb on this modding thing, but a "Gremlin Mimic" skill similar to the Mimic Beacon is a concept Im hoping to implement for this class. Im glad that you guys like the idea, I hope I can get enough understanding to do something truly unique with it.

This idea sounds great! Having someone to draw fire away from the squad opens up so many more aggressive options and having more open engagements in XCOM is always fun (If you miss, at least this guy can take the shots)

Seems like a priority for custom abilities would be something that allows you to redirect fire to the soldier like a mimic beacon and something that works against the injury system as their squaddie ability to promote them being the tank. I definitely like the idea of a class that is supposed to be taking hits, as both EU and 2 have had the problem of wanting to completely avoid damage rather than minimize it. I'm looking forward to what you do with this!

Thank you for your comments, I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think, how it works with your squad.

Very Nice! Thank you so much for the Mod. I'm testing it now together with another mod called 'soldier class' and also the 'commando class'. I don't think they will conflict with each other because your class is quite unique and different! :scarecrow:
