Nightblade Soldier Class

Description
Power at a terrible price. The Nightblade uses ancient blood rituals to manipulate abyssal shadows, allowing them to move and attack unseen.

This is a stealthy assassian type class that pays HP to enter or stay concealed, or you can build to go loud and spend HP to hit hard or attack multiple foes. They do have a few ways to recover HP, but they have to break concealment to use them.

Note that HP costs mean these will almost always return wounded. Beta Strike seems to have a built-in postcombat heal, which reduces the strategic cost.

The special shots in the wetwork line do not benefit from ammo, this is mainly to avoid vampire rounds negating the HP costs.

Primary Weapon: Bullpups or Autopistols (with primary secondaries)
Secondary Weapon: Ripjack or Combat Knife (with LW2 secondaries)

Am I missing something? Can they not attack with the Ripjack straight after classup? At least for me they can't. I tried the Switchjack some mod added too, same result, no melee attack. Or is that intended for abilities? (My Nightblade's still a Squaddie.)

I'm probably missing something, how do i use the "Shadow Thorn" ability?

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for making this.

@NextLevelGames In XComClassdata.ini...
;+AllowedArmors="reaper"
+AllowedArmors="soldier"

The mod creator intended for the class to use reaper armor. It is also not my preference, but easily changed.

I think I speak for a lot of people here where I would use this, if it weren't for the fact that its incompatible with Chimera Pack.

for some reason when my characters get upgraded to Nightblade they get put in reaper gear that clips through the legs. Any work around for this?

seems to be incompatible with the Chimera pack, unfortunately
