Description
All checked for compatibility with Shen's Last Gift and the July patch.

These are highly recommended classes and related mods meant to be used alongside vanilla for the time being. They should be mostly or totally compatible with any of my own mod releases.

The resulting game has unique classes mostly less versatile than vanilla classes and less exploitable. Vanilla plus a couple classes/subclasses can be relatively powerful but are neither common enough nor versatile enough to reduce the difficulty.
