Class Description
Educated as a military medic in the mountains, the Rescuer and his faithful Saint Bernard and Pyrenees seek to aid those in need! Trained in medical sciences, he can heal health or stress, and cure medical conditions (bleed, stun, horror, blight). Using Nitrous Oxide heals group stress, but risks stunning himself. He has a unique rejuvenating hypnosis technique that can cleanse "battle-limited" skills from a teammate. In addition, the hounds can help with attacks, counter attacks, and bleeds. The Rescuer's self sacrificing nature is also his greatest weakness: his personal health is extremely low! With the right trinkets, his healing could match a Vestal's. The Rescuer may become your faithful companion.



Combat Skills
First Aid: From 3 or 2. Single Medium Heal with variable secondary effects. Chance to Cure Bleed, followed by Horror, while Blight is hardest to cure. Self stress heal.
Tonic Mix: From 3, 2 or 1. Party Low Heal with variable secondary effects. Chance to cure Stun, average chance to cure Bleed. Self stress heal.
Nitrous Oxide: From 4, 3, or 2. Medium-High Party-Other Stress Heal. Chance to Self Stun.
Motivational Hypnosis: All Ranks. Refreshes "Uses Per Battles" Skills on the target. Party buff Critical Up and increases Rescuer's heal or stress heal for next turn. 2 Use Limit. The Refresh effect can't target self. Self stress heal.
Stay Away! Staff attack from 2 or 1 with chance to Push enemy ranks 1 or 2 positions back. Moves Rescuer Back 1. Chance to Stun Marked target. Extra critical chance v. Stunned target.
Herding Tactics: From 2 or 1, targets 2+3. Dogs attack and trigger Riposte. Evolving skill which gains starting ranks and/or targets with practice. Riposte effect can Bleed + Double DMG vs Spiders (Spider Hunter Ability).
Follow the Track: All Ranks to Any Rank. Single target medium-high dog attack. Extra Damage v. Bleeding target. Chance to Bleed Marked Targets.

Playstyle
Jump right in and play however you want! Rescuer prefers Ranks 2 or 3, but can work in Rank 1. Rank 4 is his least favorite. His weakness is low health; VERY vulnerable to critical attacks! Kit ideas:
The Doctor: (defense) Healing + Stress medical skills: Pick First Aid, Tonic Mix, Nitrous Oxide, and Follow the Tracks (Place in Rank 2/3)
Team Build: (hybrid) Pick 1 Healing. Nitrous Oxide, Motivational Hypnosis. 1 Attack. (Rank 1/2)
Hunting Hounds: (offense) Staff and Hound Attacks: Pick Stay Away, Herding Tactics, Follow the Tracks. Plus 1 Healing. (Rank 1/2, depending on heal)

Rescuer is a good stress healer! He does not heal health as much as Vestal, but is a viable main healer with unique healing properties + skills. The party may not be "topped off" at 100% HP, but using procedures, trinkets, quirks + cleverness you can succeed!

Procedures
Some skills have enhanced effects following procedures. Optional:
*Use Motivational Hypnosis a turn before Healing or Stress Healing for bonus.
*Use First Aid before Nitrous Oxide to help resist stun.
*Trigger Riposte. Riposte can Bleed. Use Follow the Track on a Bleeding target for extra raw damage.
*Have someone mark a target. Use the Stay Away on Marked for chance to Stun. Use Stay Away on Stunned for a critical chance hit!
*Use Follow the Track on Marked target for a chance to Bleed. Use Follow the Track on a Bleeding target for extra raw damage!

ฅ/ᐠ。ᆽ。ᐟ \ hi! thanks for the note. some of his unique quirks are exclusive, so if you get one you can't get the other (unless you remove it in medical and try to randomly get the other). Also, some of his skills evolve to target more slots. so if you get the quirk that can mark targets, that quirk can "evolve" in the sense that it can gain more targets as the Rescuer levels up, but the quirks themselves don't actually change. (however, in related note: the Pet Cemetery mod does have quirks that can "level up") Hope this helps!

Hello, I love the mod and the dogs are sooooo cute! Unfortunately, I can't seem to fully understand the quirk mechanics based on the mod info and your replies in the comments page. For Hunting Expert/Herder, they are mutually exclusive but also evolve? Would you mind giving a more detailed description of the the herder quirk mechanics (I am ok with spoilers haha) ! Great mod!

A lot of the animation sprites seem to have mismatching shadows or lack them altogether, such as the idle and walking animations.

dem22 that fixed the problem right up, just removed some rather bigger class mods and it helped. Just confirming if anyone else had the same issue. Much love~

Gaist Heidegger If the new quirk was expert hunter, if i recall, you will have to pay to have that removed first, and then Herding Master can trigger again. Good hunting.

Shoot - I got Herding Master in a run, but then the post-run replaced it with a different quirk before I could get to the hamlet / lock it in. Is there any chance of getting it again, or is this rescuer out of luck?
dem22  [author] 8 May, 2023 @ 10:07am 
Alaeri That typically means your computer is at its personal mod limit (varies by computer, OS, RAM, other factors), usually turning off select mods will correct that. Good hunting.

Might be a mod conflict of my own, if so my fault, but the model itself has turned into a completely white blocky figure and it's confusing me to what could be causing this
