[WOTC] Proficiency Class Pack

Proficiency Class Pack for WOTC


This mod contains 6 new soldier classes for XCOM 2 War of the Chosen that have some built-in proficiencies based around their core function or role that grow automatically as they gain experience and ranks. These classes can replace all core functions of the 4 base-game classes.

Click on each class link to go to the discussion page with details on their abilities or check out the GoogleDoc Here[docs.google.com].

• Assault Infantry - A dominating force in close quarters combat, the resilient and aggressive Assault Infantry specializes in taking and holding ground.
  
  
• Field Medic - A quick and versatile support unit, the Field Medic is equipped to provide the medical assistance needed to keep your squad on their feet.
  
  
• Marine - The backbone of XCOM's military forces, the Marines are mobile infantry skilled in the use of automatic weapons and bounding maneuvers.
  
  
• Marksman - Stealthy and precise, the Marksman excels in reconnaissance and priority target elimination.
  
  
• Sapper - The Sapper provides long-range explosive support and is adept at disrupting enemy formations and fortifications.
  
  
• Tech. Specialist - The Tech. Specialist embraces the most advanced technology, using an array of high-tech utilities to disrupt their enemies and support their allies.

A unique feature of this class pack is that each class has some built-in capabilities related to their role that grow with them based on their rank (Class Proficiency skills), either granting them role-related bonuses or increasing the potency of role-related skills that they can learn as they gain experience. For example, you don't have to spend all your level-ups purchasing healing-related abilities on the Field Medic to make them a competent healer - They get better at fulfilling their basic role as they rank up built right into their kit. This concept is inspired by RPG games and gives a lot more flexibility in the skill trees for these classes.

The classes are also designed to give more tactical options early on. The skills that grant new actions or open up new plays will be available earlier in the tree, where they are needed most (before all the interesting options from gear start to come online, when you have nothing, rather than both gear and skills coming online at the same time mid-game). To counter-balance this, the power of high-rank or powerful skills will typically be less pronounced than you may be used to (no Serial or Bladestorm, etc.) and custom costs (more expensive) have been setup for purchasing all abilities through the Training Center, based on the power and synergy of the abilities at that rank.

The class abilities are highly configurable. Almost all values are hooked up to .ini config variables and all configurable variables will be updated in ability descriptions accordingly. Anywhere you see a colored value in a description, that value can be adjusted. The custom AP costs for abilities can also be adjusted. By default they are intentionally pretty high, but if you don't like it, you can change it.



The following mods are required for things to work properly:

• WOTC Community Highlander
  
• WOTC Community Promotion Screen
  
• WOTC LW2 Secondary Weapons

The classes were designed around the following mods - they (or something similar) are highly recommended, but are not required:

• WOTC Point-Based Not Created Equal
  
• WOTC Simple Red Fog
  
• WOTC Yellow Alert Gameplay
  
• WOTC Increase Pod Size By Force Level
  
• WOTC Accurate Covering Fire
  
• WOTC Increased Cover Bonus (or similar tweaks)
  
• WOTC A Better Advent or ADVENT Avenger's AI Mods

The following mods are completely optional, but I believe they bring features or functionality that compliment this mod and are worth checking out:

• WOTC Robojumper's Squad Select
  
• WOTC Detailed Soldier Lists
  
• WOTC Overflow Ability Points
  
• WOTC Cost-Based Ability Colors
  
• WOTC Stabilize Me!
  
• WOTC Iridiar's Rocket Launchers

I've learned much from MANY members of the community, but I'd especially like to thank Pavonis/LW2, robojumper, Musashi, and xylthixlm - their assistance with my questions and their mods as assets and examples have been crucial in getting this to release!

I'd also like to thank .vhs for kindly contributing some ability icons and Erazil for the French translation of the Field Medic class and abilities (which is, unfortunately, now out of date).

• PZ's Skirmisher Heavy Class - Some abilities that refund action points (Rapid Deployment, Prep for Entry) will not work correctly with this mod installed (incompatibility with XModBase functions I am using).
