The Banner Bearer by Dragonborn

"The beat of the drums, trumpets going in unison, shouts of the commander and hardy men preparing for one last battle.
The Bannermen march on the Darkest Dungeon to put an end to this abomination for once and for all."

Welcome to the second class in a series of class mods called Class Variety Project. Banner Bearer is a support class who mainly buffs and stress heals his allies with some options to deal damage.
Being a commander, he'll be able to give orders to make his allies fight harder while also keeping them in battle longer by keeping their head cool.
He'll also be able to pressure his enemies by using his loyal Bannermen under his command.
During camping he can rely on his fellow Bannermen.

The Viscount has arrived! Departing from the courtyard in search of new and exotic recipes, the ravenous gourmand has come to sample from his latest banquet hall. He brings with him a ravenous appetite, and his steward lackey.

This mod converts the Viscount into a fully playable Hero to add to your roster! He is a frontline cross between a Bounty Hunter and a Leper, with the unique ability to reap huge combat benefits by taking a bite out of his allies.

Week 57: Mod Showcase

[h3]”A moment of valor shines brightest against a backdrop of despair.”[/h3]

Xiao Class Mod by ZIMIK, Kaze, Cathelia Samicora, Aprotinin

I am iron
In my blood it streams roots deep
With bruises on my knees,bruises on my knees
And ribs crushed down to pieces,crushed down to pieces
Nothing left to hold on
Actually wait
I do have one regret
That day before you left me
"You're my everything"
Before my thoughts began to speak

This hero is section chief "Xiao" from "Library Of Ruina", her art and skill designs are made refering to the original game.

The Great Monster Mash Mix Up by Dies Horribly

Something is not right with the stars. Forces beyond our ken are building, causing the horrors of the Estate to grow ever more restless and dangerous. What's worse, the miasma of the Farmstead is seeping out, bringing the crystalline corruption with it! Why? Why did we have to breach that damnable seal!?

This mod is what the name implies, a monster mash mod that mixes up the vanilla enemies (including snakes and, once the Farmstead is entered, Husks) into a myriad of brand new hand-made monster parties that now populate the basic four dungeons as well as the Endless Harvest. The mashes included are tricky, stronger, and much more varied than the old faithfuls, but without straying too far from the core themes. Loading screen tips will be provided to keep you from being caught entirely off-guard.

Week 55 & 56: Mod Showcase

[h3]”A spark without kindling is a goal without hope.”[/h3]

Here Be Monsters by Shay, Adon, Uncanny Gemstar, Moon Slime, Verywhale, Sasiji, Jens Sels, MetalGy, Zap, MoonKanin, Wellington McSkellington, TrueLolzor, Sketch, terkmc, Mhnlo, PhallseAnghell, Kenthril, Slightly Seal, 54NBB, Methusiel, DCR, Alpaca

"In coming to these blighted, perditious lands, you are no longer in the realm of the familiar. Ghouls and fiends of every conceivable form skulk and chitter in every shadow, ensnaring the bravest of men and breaking them over their knees into wailing madmen. Our troops may prepare, but they will never be truly ready to face the crawling terrors that plague our estate. You are off the edge of the map, and here be monsters..."

Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add dozens of new enemies and trinkets to Darkest Dungeon. This is an ongoing project that will periodically update as new enemies are released. The enemies have varied mechanics and diverse movesets that bring added challenge to your game. Each enemy included in the mod includes at least one rare trinket that they may leave on death, with minibosses having more. 14 enemies are currently included in the mod, with many more well on the way!

Female Abomination Skin by Dinosaur Nerd

This is pretty simply an abomination skin that allows for equal opportunity employment
for she-beasts seeking to earn gold and glory in the darkest hamlet alongside other
brave adventurers! This does not alter gameplay in any way, and is simply artwork.

I created this to practice my own artwork and try to improve shading in particular,
though I also wanted to practice some anatomy and such. It was quite a task to try
to mimic the red hook style of artwork, and hopefully this captures the right aesthetic.

The Baron Class Conversion by Roderick

Having grown tired of the usual audience within his own court, the Baron has departed from the swarms of corrupted nobles, and arrived at the Hamlet, bringing with him his latest dramas and sadistic games.

This mod takes the Baron boss from the Crimson Court, and converts them into a fully playable hero class you can pick up from your stagecoach. The Baron is a mid-rank support that can be built to either debilitate your enemies, or provide risky, but rewarding buffs to your allies. Or a mix of both.

The Orphaned Thief by Blue Skies Above

“A lost child, whose resourcefulness and cunning have made sure that she is still alive to this day. She carries the likeness of devilkin and the marks of traumas past.

She has no memories of the place she is from, but boasts an uncanny knack for skulking around unseen. Wanted by no one and with no place of belonging, she wanders the land begging and stealing to survive, stumbling upon this cursed land by accident. Don’t let her young age fool you, she is more dangerous than she looks.”

The Orphaned Thief functions much the same as a Grave Robber, dancing back with stealth and lunging forward for massive damage. She comes equipped with a few new skills and can debuff enemies with her spectral cat.

Week 53 & 54: Mod Showcase

[h3]”Many fall in the face of chaos; but not this one, not today.”[/h3]

Apologies on the brief hiatus. Mod Showcases are now back; here are the mod showcases for week 53 and 54!

The Corsair by Shay, EbonyBetty, Anonymous_Koala, Adon, Kaxen6, Cat, FlissyFox

The Corsair is an all new class mod for Darkest Dungeon. An infamous pirate warlord, the Corsair has arrived to expand her criminal empire and claim whatever riches may lie here. She is a nimble and powerful damage dealer, with a variety of exotic weapons and tactics at her disposal allowing her to inflict devastating damage and bleeds. She compensates this by being rather frail, having a relatively low HP pool. She has fully original assets, including sprites, animations, and sounds.

"The notorious Corsair is a terrifying combatant, dancing between enemy blades untouched and lashing out from the shadows. She dashes across the battlefield like a ghost, setting herself up to inflict devastating damage with her arsenal, disrupting and weakening her opponents to her deadly blows!"

The Templar by Caedwyn and Seal

The Templar is a warrior-bishop who has returned to the Hamlet from resisting the pagans. He stands as a wall of faithful steel, defending his comrades with body and spirit. Through devout faith, he works minor miracles upon his allies. To his enemies, he retaliates with extreme force.

The Illuminator by Roult, MoldyMrWaffles, Eittienne

The Illuminator is a mid to frontline warrior/support. Some of his moves are powerful but melt his hp in higher amounts of light while others do different things depending on the light level. Calling upon the light he can use a powerful & cleansing self heal at the cost of stunning himself. When camping he can comfort the party and himself as well as produce more Prayer Candles that buff a singular hero for a battle.

The Golem by Ooh Ah, S-Purple, Uncanny Gemstar

"A hulking juggernaut from beyond the stars, ready to fight. The golem wields the ancient armor of a long dead hero to terrifying results, able to destroy any enemy in her path with splintering strikes and able to shake off even the mightiest of blows with her bulky armor."

The Golem is a front line self sustaining tank. Because of her strange biology the Golem is immune to diseases, has a high resistance to blight and bleed, but will receive no healing from any source other than her own abilities. This comes in form of her innate disease, that will be applied the first time Golem uses any move and cannot be gotten rid of afterwards, Metal Body.
