📋 About This Mod

New update 4. 2. 0. 2 adds a lot of new stuff! Please respec to make sure you get everything right!:

- New spell added at lvl 2. Curse who ever tries to hurt your baby!

- Melee subclass partly reworked:

When chosing the melee subclass, you will now have to chose between 7 paths. Each paths grant you a specific thematic spell. As you progress, more paths can be chosen and more spells will be unlocked for the paths you chose! (A total of 4 spells per path) Those spells are related to your dragon. The dragons weapon enchantment and the stacking system will play a role to enable them. This is a total of 28 abilitys/spells. Actually more as their exist cold fire and lightning variations for most of those new spells with their own vfx effects, and some even have different effects depending on the dragon you chose,so it might be more arround 60 abilitys/spells. You wont be able to unlock all 7 paths in one playthrough. No idle level ups! So the class for a 1-20 class should aswell feel like one! And more stuff = more fun, right :D

But keep in mind, this adds a lot of stuff and might not be perfectly balanced. I would be happy to hear feedback! :) (Here or on larians discord, we have a post under "toolkit-mods-releases" there.

- Melee subclass feature: New Elemental Aura - Grants resistance to alies within 4m to the dragons element (The dragons get the same ability, so the archer subclass benefits aswell from this aura)

- The damaging dragon aura at lvl 7 got moved to lvl 17 as a more lategame ability. The signature moves at lvl 15 got removed. They are build in the new paths.

- Bugfixes (The dragon can now use life exchange at level 11. It seems noone ever realized, that this wasnt working properly)

- Important note: The archer subclass is mostly untouched for now! It took me over 2 weeks of working on those changes in every moment of my freetime. I plan to add the same path system with their own ability/spells, but i need a break for now befor i do that!

The Dragon Tamer Class

Begin your adventure as a wannabe warrior with the dragon hatchling that has

just emerged from its egg! So far, you're only proficient with simple

weapons. But soon, you’ll have to decide whether to follow the path of

your adventures, both you and your dragon will grow. You’ll both become

stronger, and the bond between you will deepen, unlocking powers you

never could have imagined... A new class with unique class features, you fee way more connection between you and your fully animated dragons,

then for example poor rangers, thanks to some very unique class

features!This mod comes with 3 different types and collored dragons, and they all are full animated, NO broken animations.
