Replace Profiles with Classes

This mod reworks the Power System by forcing you to pick a class. Each class gets access to a specific set of powers (7-10 active Powers + Passives) and all other Powers are locked. I have based the classes on the existing Profiles (the Profile bonus stats and effects remain unchanged). In principle, it's also possible to add additional classes and Profiles. So if you have an idea for an interesting class, let me know in the comments.

Because I couldn't implement the mod how I initially intended, I have created two versions. Gameplay wise they are indentical, the difference is how the Powers are displayed in the menu.

A) Separate Class Mods

There is one mod file for each class. The Powers are located in a single tree (instead of Combat/Biotic/Tech).

Advantage: All Powers in one list.

B) All-in-one

All classes are included in a single mod.

After you respec, all Profiles are available. Select a Profile to unlock the Powers of the class. All other Powers are simply locked. When you spend any skill points, the Profile/Class is locked until you respec again.

Advantage: Don't have to change mods to switch classes.

If you want to change your class often and don't want to restart the game for this, use Version B. Otherwise I recommend Version A.

Changes

You don't have to invest skill points evenly to level up your profile. For example, Sentinel level 2 requires only 24 points spend in any skills, instead of the 12 Tech and 12 Biotic as it says in the description.

Similarily, the passive effects that scale with the number of invested skill points now consider all invested points instead of only Combat/Biotic/Tech.

Classes

This mod is inteded to be used together with my mod Power Overhaul, which adds additonal Powers from multiplayer and improves the balance.

However, I have also created mod files that don't require Power Overhaul. If you use these, each class gets 1-2 Powers less.

As some classes do not have enough skills to reach the 232 skill points requirement for the rank 6 profiles, I have lowered the requirements for these classes. For example, the Adept (with Power Overhaul) has 11 skills, so a maximum of 231 points can be spend. The requirement for the rank 6 profile is 231 points.

Below are the availabe Powers for each class. In addition, each class gets access to the passives for the kind of Powers it uses. For example, the Sentinel gets access to all Tech and Biotic passives. The exception are the weapon mastery passives, which are explicitly listed below.
