Character Mod

Description

One thing that bothered me about Stoneshard after many hours of playing it was how you had to jump through hoops to get some builds working. For example, with a dual wielding dagger build, there are no characters that start with both skill trees, and there are no trainers that teach dual wielding or daggers in Osbrook. This mod attempts to change this by allowing more character starts with diverse combinations of unlocked skill trees, while also adding flavor to the different variants through their different starting gear. This mod also adds replayability since there are so many more starts than in the base game.

I suggest backing up your saves just in case (haven't done much testing on the mod).

As for all mods, please report any bugs to me instead of the game devs.
