Proficiency Plugin : Field Alchemist v1.3

V1.3: See Change Notes


This class is built to fill a much requested gaps in Proficiency classes - Chemthrower users. It is inspired by and heavily influenced by Rusty's Alchemist. Like Rusty's Alchemist, and the Advent Purifier it shares it's primary weapon with, the Field Alchemist is designed to be on the front lines.

The Field Alchemist is UNABLE to be trained in the GTS, and has a reduced spawn weight for Rookie Promotions.
However, a config has been added so the Rescue Resistance Leader mod chain can award Field Alchemists, up to a max of 2 in the barracks.

• Chemical Deflector - Gain immunity to the damage types of the equipped Chemthrower and Canister.
  
• Low Profile - Half cover gives as much defence as full cover.
  
• Gain +2 Ablative (Shield) HP - total 2.

• Thermal Bulwark - Activating a Chemthrower ability grants a chance to deflect incoming attacks. Fumigate and Medispray also apply this effect to thier targets.
  
• Evasive - At the end of each turn, gain a bonus of +1 Dodge per tile moved up to a maximum bonus of +10.
  
• Gain +2 Ablative (Shield) HP - total 4.

• Desolate Homeland - While standing in an enviromental effect, become immune to mental effects and gain damage reduction based on chemthrower tech level.
  
• Chemical Bastion - Chemical Deflector also provides the same immunities for the Alchemist's squadmates if they are within range.
  
• Gain +2 Ablative (Shield) HP - total 6.

• Primary
  - Chemthrower/Immolator/Xenolator. A Primary flamethrower (or 'other' thrower if using Xenolators). Modelled on the Purifier's flamer.
