📋 About This Mod

Houndmaster Class Perk Buffs

This mod does four things:

1:  The Dog Breeder perk now also allows for "crafting" of warwolves (but not dire or white wolves). Warwolves require

6 fresh meat, and units/taxidermist cost is 300 (both are easy enough to change).

Needless to say, because you require two warwolves to begin with, it might not be that easy in most games to actually make use of this.

2: The Dog Master perk now also can affect wolves (but not white wolves), wolf riders, dire wolves, and hyenas; this includes their frenzied counterparts where applicable.

3: The Dog Whisperer perk now also grants Push the Advantage, Slaughter, and Dodge perks; and Loyal trait to unleashed animals (perhaps a tad unbalanced for white wolves and bears; was mostly made in mind for dogs & hounds).

4: Bear fixed/changed to work with Dog Whisperer and Pack Leader.

Probably save compatible. Back-up first just to be save. Rudimentarily tested.

Although this mod can be used with Accessory Companions, the Dog Whisperer extra perks do not carry over. Probably will do an optional submod for that sooner or later, however (this would be overpowered for a lot of companions, but that's the player's decision ultimately!).

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A small balance mod for Darkest Dungeon that buffs and changes several Houndmaster Legend class perks to make them more worthwhile. With 61 endorsements and 2,740 downloads, it's a niche pick for players who want the Houndmaster's Legend perks to feel less situational.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Tight focus on a single class – if you main the Houndmaster, this is directly relevant
  • Small but active community (61 endorsements, 2,740 downloads) suggests it works for those who use it
  • No extra dependencies – just drop it in and play

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2021 – may be out of sync with current game patches or DLC
  • No detailed changelog or perk-by-perk breakdown, so you won't know exactly what's altered until you test
  • Only affects Legend perks – if you don't use that path, this mod does nothing for you
🎯 Is This For You?
For Darkest Dungeon players who love the Houndmaster and feel his Legend perks underperform. If you're a completionist trying every class path, this adds a bit of variety. Skip if you don't play the Houndmaster or prefer overhaul mods that touch multiple classes.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you're playing on the 'Legend' path for the Houndmaster – the mod only affects those perks
  • If you use other class mods, load order might matter; put this after any that alter the Houndmaster
  • Test in a low-stakes dungeon first to see the buffed perks in action before committing to a serious run
