SotE Classes

This mod removes the vast majority of the vanilla experience from the game by transporting you straight into the dlc from the start. In Stranded Graveyard the doors leading outside are now replaced by Miquella's cocoon, teleporting you straight into Land of Shadow. Besides the cocoon you will find few essential key items like all the seeds and tears, crafting bag and spirit summoning whistle. Along with these you will also be allowed to travel into Roundtable. In Roudtable all upgrading material bell bearings are unlocked along with infinite arrows. Everything else stays like normal.

This mod changes the starting classes to start at appropriate level to not die immediately in the DLC, while also having enough room to level up and allocate stats more optimally to the equipment. They all start at level 85 aside from Wretch and are following:

- Bloody Hound (Arcane/Quality)

- Militia (Dex)

- Badlands Warrior (Str)

- Bandit (Quality)

- Spellblade (Int)

- Fire Monk (Fai)

- Lich (Int/Fai)

- Palladin (Fai/Quality)

- Commander (Tank)

- Wretch (Starts with Dane's Footwork)

Aside from classes this mod also changes starting Keepsakes.

This mod is meant to be sort of half challenge, not giving you all of vanilla stuff from the start to force you into utilizing unique weapons and talismans instead of being ignored because lot of vanilla gear you already have is better then most of what you can get in Land of Shadow (Comet Azur minmaxed build with Mimic Tear). But at the same time being enjoyable to the average player who does not want to start at level 1 in area scaled like endgame and running around collecting consumable runes because the weakest shadowy old man oneshots you and you 20 shot them.

This mod does not also include Respeccing or obtaining craftbooks from vanilla.

On technical level this mod only changes language files, changes params and only changes one single area in the game, which is Stranded Graveyard. So it should be possible to easily merge with other mods changing or editing SotE map in some ways.
