📋 About This Mod
Check out McJ0hns0n's Alternative Classes mod, it was what inspired me to make this mod!
This changes certain aspects of the original game that I thought were a little odd, or would be interesting to change.

PLEASE NOTE
This mod is not being actively updated.
It is not abandoned, and development will continue at some point. Unfortunately, I have been sick for a long time and working on this mod has been nearly impossible. Progress will be glacial.
The Changelog for the Playtest Version is vast enough to require a wiki. Newcomers will find expanded shop inventories and a few item location changes. Petrus holds most new items.

Starting Classes -
All new classes are SL1. Note that this does make the early portions of the game a little harder.
The classes themselves do not trigger PvP Watchdog but anything with any new abilities (Pharis Hat, for instance) or can't be upgraded normally (Crystal Armor+5/Eastern Armor +10) will trigger it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 692 endorsements and 16,460 downloads.
- Focuses on rebalancing weapon AR and effects, solving vanilla balance gripes without a total overhaul.
- Playtest versions add new spells and weapons for extra build variety.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2019, so compatibility with current game patches or newer mods is risky.
- New spells and weapons are gated behind Playtest builds, not the main release.
- PvP is restricted, so you're cut off from playing with vanilla players online.
For Dark Souls veterans who want a balance pass on weapon damage and effects without a full gameplay overhaul. For players who enjoy experimenting with new spells and weapons in Playtest builds. Skip if you want a massive PvE revamp or unrestricted online PvP with vanilla players.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the Playtest version if you want the added spells and weapons, not the main 2.012 build.
- Keep a vanilla copy of the game files if you plan to play online with non-modded players.
- Check the mod page comments for current compatibility, since the last update was 2019.
