Oh thank you for the quick response! =D
Balgin Stondraeg  [author] 27 Jun @ 1:02pm 
Yes. Her canonical name is Nemien Callishan.
Leon-fen 27 Jun @ 12:23pm 
Does she have a canon name?

really love the mod. Just don't know why plague priest's teachings's mark effect not working. Others just petfect
Justadork 9 Jun @ 1:39pm 
all of the combo names are reversed in order and a quarter of them don't work because occultist is misspelled in the party name file.
ex: The Blessed and Damned ends up using

leper in 4th,
Crusader in 3rd,
librarian in 2nd,
and Occultist in 1st.

and doesn't work unless you go into librarian.party_name_library.json and change it from Occultis to Occultist.

@Balgin, love the mod, can I make a BR port?

amazing mod, Sunward trinket + book trinkets make her brilliant glass cannon. Barks, art, everything is amazing, although Bravery potion build is awful.
God I love this frail book-loving creature

What's your list? This is the first class mod I'm considering.
Scrivener 6 Jan @ 6:26pm 
After playing over 400 hours of Darkest Dungeon, I've been whittling my list of modded classes down to a reasonable number in recent days. One class that will never find itself on the chopping block is the humble Librarian, who is easily one of most useful and thematically appropriate modded classes that I've ever encountered on the Workshop.

I generally run her with the optional patch, which makes her like an Antiquarian that finds XP for your heroes instead of valuable trinkets. I really like the risk/reward scenario that this creates, as the Librarian's impact on battles isn't as pronounced as other, more specialized classes.

Her characterization, art, barks, and cohesive skillset make the Librarian an S tier character that deserves a place on every roster.

10/10 - "The more you know!"

Sure, it makes sense, but the Bravery Potion + Fingerless Gloves seems designed around using Beat Back super aggressively because of all the buffs it gives that one specific button. Doesn't really seem worth dedicating both trinket slots so IF she ends up in front she can get out, especially since it disables half the rest of her kit.
Balgin Stondraeg  [author] 1 Jan @ 4:05pm 
Yep. Glad you found it. It's less of a strategy and more of an emergency use/get out of jail free button for a situation you'd generally want to avoid.
Namira 1 Jan @ 7:53am 
Woops! Turns out the knockback comes with the full trinket set, not just the bravery potion. Ignore that :)
(it still seems a little demanding to invest her whole build into one button, especially since you'd then need to dance people behind her to use it again)
Namira 11 Dec, 2024 @ 7:54am 
I really like this little nerd as a support. Not sure how good she actually is at higher levels cause I'm not very good at the game, lol. But it's fun to have a healer/destresser that can also nerf enemy damage, and forbidden chant is a cool button because the stress cost is significant but the effects are great.

The "Bravery" potion seems kind of a meme trinket anyway since she's like, very not statted to use it properly, but just wanted to mention that the self move doesn't seem to work. My librarian has 0% move resist and didn't selfmove once in an entire dungeon. It's a fun trinket idea but even if working as intended, it seems pretty steep to invest a trinket slot in an emergency moveback button that is also unreliable.

I use this mod with vermintide and sunward. Make sure the librarian is below those mods.
Sahlokhviir 29 Aug, 2024 @ 4:04am 
the mod doesn't seem to be very compatible with some of the ones that I'm loading I'm not too sure which, but some of the big ones are ,vermintide,sunward and order of sunligh

Ah, I was wondering why the resolve effects I was seeing in game didn't match the description of the mod, it wasn't updated and instead talks about the old system; instead of the new one which is based around getting the books via camping.
The Toblin 16 Aug, 2024 @ 7:06am 
The move on the "Bravery Potion" is far too weak to make Librarian a viable slot 1. I've now used it eight times in a row, and in spite of having a 50% change (100% move power, vs her 80%-30% = 50% resist), she hasn't been moved once.

This basically turns her into a really, really mediocre Bounty Hunter (Uppercut) with a single skill. Since she isn't moved back, she is 100% useless unless you manually move her, or build a move team around her.

Her buffs aren't powerful enough to warrant such a turbo-niche team. Just make the skil have Back 2 on it instead of a move chance. Right now, she's a mediocre backrank power-level character and nothing else.
Pinny 3 Aug, 2024 @ 11:05pm 
Any interest in porting this over to Black Reliquary?
WildHunt 22 Jun, 2024 @ 8:47am 
thanks. this mod is working great. still experimenting with the trinket
Sadlysius 22 May, 2024 @ 12:48am 
None of the "set buffs/debuffs" ("Furious Facts", "Knowledge Overwhelming") from trinkets seem to work for me? For example, A "Bravery" Potion gives -15% DMG Received, +5% CRIT, etc. but it doesn't make Beat Back any more powerful, nor it makes Beat Back self-push you
Erazil 6 Apr, 2024 @ 10:04am 
nice new page ;)
Balgin Stondraeg  [author] 6 Apr, 2024 @ 9:43am 
Today's update contains improved French translation by Erazil. Let the French players rejoice :).
SASUKEEEEEEEEEEEE! 18 Mar, 2024 @ 1:01am 
Thank you kindly, that's what I imagined.
ravenz 16 Mar, 2024 @ 7:46pm 
she is just a support, but can be made into a into a antiquarian equivalent through the optional patch.
SASUKEEEEEEEEEEEE! 13 Mar, 2024 @ 11:08pm 
Not going to lie, been using this mod religiously for every playthrough without realizing: what is she meant to be played as? She's just a support, right? Not an antiquarian equivalent?
RustyDios 8 Mar, 2024 @ 6:46pm 
Part of her backstory is she got bitten by dogs I think ... it adds some extra flavour to the character and some extra thinking to the player
ravenz 8 Mar, 2024 @ 5:50pm 
I get it now, also why make her afraid of dogs?
Balgin Stondraeg  [author] 8 Mar, 2024 @ 5:29pm 
The reason we changed the way the xp system worked is because the old system rounded up to the next multiple of 100% (so 101% was being counted as 200%). The new system has it built into her camp skills which create consumable items that grant an xp multiplier. That way you get to choose to use her xp boosting abilities or not. It's optional instead of forced.
ravenz 8 Mar, 2024 @ 5:24pm 
how does the new resolve xp system work and why change the she affects resolve xp from the previous version?
Balgin Stondraeg  [author] 27 Feb, 2024 @ 3:55pm 
She is still afraid of dogs.
ravenz 27 Feb, 2024 @ 3:09pm 
Is she still afraid of dogs or no?
Moon/Void Slime  [author] 18 Feb, 2024 @ 4:35pm 
It's to stop you from equipping two of her powerful trinkets
GarglingGlass 8 Jan, 2024 @ 1:36pm 
What is Knowledge Overwhelming, regarding her trinket?
Dave7D 6 Oct, 2023 @ 11:04am 
For some reason it is giving me a compatibility error with Human Duchess Class Mod Rework.
sny 21 Sep, 2023 @ 7:54am 
Oh I see it now. Thank you !!
Balgin Stondraeg  [author] 21 Sep, 2023 @ 7:35am 
Sny, those are outdated videos. We changed the way she affects resolve xp. Now it is no longer an effect on her skills. Instead she brings some supply items with her that can boost resolve xp if you use them (leaving you the option to not use them if you don't want to level so quickly).
sny 21 Sep, 2023 @ 6:32am 
Hello! First time using the mod. I saw videos that explained that she has a boost to resolve XP but i dont see it written anywhere. Could it be a mod conflict? Or does she get that mechanic at later resolve levels (mine is currently level 0)
Balgin Stondraeg  [author] 20 Sep, 2023 @ 9:46am 
As a librarian and archivist she's obviously part of the Athenaeum (where all the good books are kept).
memoisgod 20 Sep, 2023 @ 8:08am 
Does it have district?
Grobius 5 Sep, 2023 @ 6:40am 
Translated to russian missed and updated version : {LINK REMOVED}

Love this mod,translate could be not so perfect maybe, did it for myself and sharing it )
Balgin Stondraeg  [author] 1 Aug, 2023 @ 4:23am 
I've re-ran the update so hopefully it went through for everyone now.
Balgin Stondraeg  [author] 30 Jul, 2023 @ 11:01am 
Nemien Callishan if she uses her mother's surname (which she usually does).
Nemien Rolskar if she uses her father's surname (he was a travelling trader and sometimes his name opens doors her mother's would not).
pavlik.yanin 30 Jul, 2023 @ 6:11am 
what is her default name?
Bulletbombat 9 Jul, 2023 @ 7:32am
