• NEW SKILL RULES
  • Combat skills with “.ignore_deathsdoor true” will deathblow instantly if they deal lethal damage, regardless of deathblow resist. The target will be killed even if it was not already on death’s door.
• NEW STATS
  • Added “deathblow_chance” which increases the chance of deathblow and is applied against deathblow resistance.

Here are this weeks mods:

The Bloodclot by Uncanny Gemstar

The Bloodclot is a highly variable and self sufficient hero. From the front, he savages enemies at close range. He pierces shell, bone, and armor alike with vampiric fangs that ravage those weakened by blight and bleed. He rips and consumes his foes flesh with mutated flesh that hungers for blood to sustain himself. With the strength granted by his curse, he tears targets to pieces with his claws, heightening his frenzied ability to consume his enemies. In the back rows, he rains hell down on the battlefield, no shuffling mosquito or retreating cultist able to escape him. He lobs balls of his own cursed festering blood at foes, opening their own wounds, or sprays accumulated bile to clear his thoughts. His most dangerous ability is utilized through Litmus, drowning the enemies in the very malignancies they inflict upon him. His body is ravenous and bottomless, and can consume the suffering of his allies, curing them of their ailments while bringing out his own.

Doomsday - Miniboss Mod by Dem and Adon

Fight a terrifying new menace. Encounter Doomsday, a new monster in three new challenging dungeon encounters! If you can defeat this powerful creature, you have a chance to earn crystal shards, rare trinkets, or new quirks that may help you in your Color of Madness adventures. Will you be able to defeat him before your heroes meet their doom?

In addition to new dungeons, there is a small random chance to encounter Doomsday in the Endless Harvest Quest or in LVL 2, 3, 4, or 5 Dungeons in the Weald, Cove or Sunward Isles (Optional Mod). Random encounters do NOT occur in the Ruins, Warrens or Crimson Court. You will see a visual indicator that means there is a 25% CHANCE at the encounter in that area.

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

Here are this weeks mods:

The Eucharistan by Cryptix

Once a mere priest of the abbey, the Eucharistan was inflicted with a terrible disease of the blood, uncurable by even the holy miracles of light. Downcast and questioning his faith, he found himself lost outside the Hamlet, eventually stumbling upon the courtyard. While trapped in the den of depravity and misshapen mutants, he was infected with the Crimson Curse, which interacted with his own diseased blood in a way never seen before: the Eucharistan completely rejected his own blood and replaced it with the Blood itself, becoming a living font of the valued elixir. Brought before the Countess half mad with pain, he was taught to utilize his new abilities and become the front line of a new infection vector, one wrought by faith and fury…
