WHAT DOES THIS MOD CHANGE ABOUT THE VANILLA GAME?

- There are now 2 new starter classes. Lone Wolf, which starts with some of the mod's items, and Afflicted, which is intended as a challenging option. If you choose Afflicted, your character will not have access to Estus, not even in NG+. They will only have a single upgradeable flask of Ashen Estus, but the number of flasks cannot be increased with Estus Shards. Instead, the Afflicted starts with an alternative method of healing and FP recovery that comes with its own strange, powerful and disgusting quirks.

- The Firelink Greatsword can now be infused using 1 Ember to create the Blade of the Lords.

- There are now 2 new hair options in the character creation menu!

- Backsteps now have i-frames!

- Respecs and appearance changes at Rosaria are now infinite so long as you have Pale Tongues.

- The drop chance of covenant items has been tripled to quadrupled across the board.

- All weapons wielded in your left hand now attack using L1 and use your right hand Weapon Art with L2. The exceptions to this rule include:

- Catalysts

- All weapons that spellcast with R2

- Crossbows

- Light Curved Swords, which parry with L2

- Rapier, which parries with L2

- Dark Hand, which uses its weapon art with L2

- Parrying Dagger, which parries with L2

- Fist and Claw weapons, which parry with L2

- Talon of Hatred, which uses its weapon art with L2

- The White Hair Talisman, Witchtree Branch and Saint-Tree Bellvine's Weapon Art is now Weapon Skill, allowing you to use your right-hand weapon art with them in your left hand.

- Rock Lizards in Archdragon Peak now dr
