Description
Plague Doctor class rework. This mod could be said to make the Plague Doctor worse. I wanted to make the Plague Doctor more interesting because I felt like the class was way too straight forward. Her backline blight and stun made dealing with backline stress and support enemies basically too easy. On the other hand, her heal was just a way to cheap out on bandages and antivenoms. Her buff also seems way too good for what it does and makes the game far too easy when you combine her with a high damage hero. So, I decided to change up some things and add some limitations.

Does not modify any base files except the Plague Doctor class files in order to be compatible with other mods.

Plague Doctor's base health has been markedly reduced to make taking her more risky.
Incision: Accuracy has been buffed.
Noxious Blast: Can hit one rank further.
Disorienting Blast: Can hit one rank further.
Plague Grenade: Better blight plus debuff added, but accuracy reduced and now hits the entire enemy party. Now can only be used once per battle. Can be used from any rank.
Blinding Gas: Better stun plus shuffle added, but accuracy reduced and now hits the entire enemy party. Now can only be used once per battle. Can be used from any rank.
Battlefield Medicine: Does not cure Plague Doctor along with the target anymore, but heal increased.
Emboldening Vapours: Reduces stress, and increases critical chance by a lot for the target! However, increases received crit chance and received stress on the target, as well as a chance to disorient and shuffle the target party member. More risk, more reward!

Once per battle though... In vanilla, she can, paired with Hellion, basically stunlock entire teams. With this, it's a once-per-battle thing which is much more high risk high reward, plus the accuracy is lesser.

I'm still going to rename this to "Better" to keep in style with others I've made, and because it's arguable anyways.

"Worse"
"Blinding Gas has a better stun and hits the entire enemy party from any position"
