📋 About This Mod

[]Assassins now have Thousand Cuts.
[
]Artificers now have Cloak of Shadows.[]Tempests now have Hail of Arrows.
Cloak of Shadows is something Artificers could feasibly do by way of trap distraction, smoke bomb triggers, Chameleon's Breath, etc. Part of the Artificer flavor text is "Neither they nor their explosive mines are ever where the enemy expects them to be." Many passives already give party members an advantage, so why not step it up with party stealth that also fits flavor?
Hail of Arrows (while still a bow-only skill) takes advantage of the chaotic nature of Tempests due to doubling Archery skills, especially Leaping Shot and Explosive Arrows which already have the potential to hit multiple enemies. Smash a flask and rain death with Hook and Tackle and Leaping Shot. ------------------------ By request, I've added mage options for both Inquisitors and companions. Rift Mage did not get an ability change.
-
[]Necromancers now have Resurgence.
[]Knight-Enchanters now have Haste.
Haste a little bit weird in Inquisition, but fits a Knight-Enchanters strengths very well. Combat Clarity passives indicate that a KE is comfortable in fast-paced melee combat. Their expertise is in defense and protecting others, and while healing is good, it's also a much more "passive" ability than a front-line warrior could afford to do. Haste benefits the entire party and ensures everyone lives to fight another day by killing things faster and more safely due to increased reaction time. ------------------------ Ridiculous Optional Files* Under the "Misc." category, two files alter Rift Mage and the general "Inquisitor" ability tree. Yes, you can still use Aegis, etc. even with Firestorm.
One file simply replaces Solas' Fo
This Dragon Age: Inquisition mod swaps Focus abilities for rogue and mage Inquisitors and companions, giving Assassins Thousand Cuts, Tempests Hail of Arrows, Artificers Cloak of Shadows, Necromancers Resurgence, and Knight-Enchanters an unspecified ability. A niche gameplay tweak for players wanting different specialization ultimates.
