Knox's Proficiency Plugin: Reaper Scout

Description
Introducing the Reaper Scout, the second of 4 psuedo-hero units. This class is not meant to be a replacement to the Proficiency Reaper, but to be used along side the Proficiency Reaper. The Reaper Scout is intended to be a variant of the Reaper with only one (intentionally) existing in the entire campaign.

A scout like no other, the Reaper Scout dominates their field when it comes to recon and mobility, using their Shotgun and Pistol, they strike from the shadows to kill their enemies. The Reaper Scout is made to have a low amount of Active Abilities, but a high amount of passives.

[b(As of 4/1/24 now no longer requires Proficiency Reaper)[/b]

Use Additional Soldier Commands to rebuild your soldier. (RebuildSelectedSoldiersClass)

How to Acquire:

  • Custom Pistol abilities don't work with Quickdraw.
  • Shadow Infiltrator's Crit Bonus text does not show up, but still applies.
  • If under proper conditions, it is possible to not break Squad Concealment when killing an enemy or using Undermine.

Credits:
  • Shiremct, MrCloista, and Dies Irae - I learned a lot by looking into the code they have made and learned how to make my own class because of it, they all make really cool Proficiency Classes.

  • Everyone's mods that mine requires - Literally couldn't exist without them, they are talented modders.

@KnoxAHHHHHHHHHH - thanks! Subscribed :)

After investigating, I can confirm that it does not require the Community Perk Plugin.

@GameAcc I believe you are right, it is a redundant dependency. The only thing that Community Perk Plugin does is add new AWC perks to all Prof Classes (excluding Templar), so I don't believe it truly requires Proficiency Reaper.

I'm going to do a bit of investigating to make sure that Community Perk Plugin is not required and if so, I'll change the requirements. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I completely missed this during the patch.

@KnoxAHHHHHHHHHH - it seems you've updated other heroes and now we can use them without dependency on the "proficiency hero classes" but this one still has the dependency on "proficiency perk plugin" which in turn has dependency on proficiency hero classes. Are you planning to fix it or is it a redundant dependency? I can read and I see: [b(As of 4/1/24 now no longer requires Proficiency Reaper)[/b] but what does it mean?

@solvius90 I'm currently working on updating my current projects before moving to some new ideas. I have considering doing a port of Akimbo, but haven't because it doesn't fit the previous criteria* I made. I plan to make 1 new hero-style class and 1 new class, but those haven't passed through planning.


(*The criteria was a class that is no longer being actively updated or the owner does not mind if a Prof version is made of their mod. Warden and Pharmacist had the first criteria, and Rocketeer had the second).

Grate design and balance. I don't like original Proficiency class - too weak, like lw class. But your vision of balance I'd like 😆
Any plans on Proficiency class? Maybe Akimbo, Stormrider or maybe you want to modify "unusual" classes (exvent, post hunan).

can this work with the Proficiency Plugin: Full Class Decks instead of the community perks version?

no worries, i think i figured it out. i used "disable any class GTS redux". it allowed me to disable getting the class from promotions and keep it GTS trainable. i just started my playthrough, and havent got one from promotions yet. anyways, thanks for the mod man
KnoxAHHHHHHHHHH  [author] 7 Sep, 2023 @ 3:13pm 
After you acquire one from any of the methods, they are no longer acquirable from promotions. There might be a way to do it, but I currently do not know how. If I figure it out in the future I will provide such information.

hello, is there a way to disable getting one from a promotion?
