Asparagus Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Hi there! I'm here to gladly announce that there's a new character mod in town! Daniel the Spectromancer™ "Your souls belong to me now..." Health: 130 || Sanity: 180 || Hunger: 150 Tiredness: 150 PERKS: Tier 1 Magic Knowledge - Daniel has spent his whole life in pursuit of dark and otherworldly knowledge to save someone he loves... being a Spectromancer, he has gained knowledge of ways of reviving the dead and manipulating dark energies. He is able to research tier 1 magic items from a simple Science Machine and tier 2 magic items from a Prestihatitator. Spoiler Tiredness (Fatigue) - Having a great connection with the after-life comes with a cost... Daniel's energy is spent in exchange of his abilities. He periodically gains tiredness/fatigue points all day and night, gaining more during dusk and more at night... Spoiler (A) The more tired he is, the more purple and full the Tiredness/Fatigue Badge gets, at half-full, Daniel will start to exhibit tiredness with small periods of "grogginess" (the same effect after waking up after being put to sleep by a Mandrake, Pan Flute, or Sleepy Time Stories) where he will be moving slowly. (B) Along with this, he will go in a state of "goofiness" where he will say random things and exude a Sanity Aura (similar to when you laugh at a friend who's sleep-talking). (C) When the badge completely fills up at 150, Daniel will get "knocked out" and fall asleep on the spot for 30 seconds where he will lose tiredness (he may be vulnerable to attacks at this state). (D) In normal Autumn standards, Daniel's tiredness meter will be completely filled up at about the 2nd night. (E) Sleeping is the most effective way to reduce tiredness/fatigue (F) Additionally, eating raw "red caps" will reduce his tiredness/fatigue by 10 but will take 20 damage. (H) As of update v1.1.0, you can dispel ghosts to reduce 15 sanity per ghost by haunting them with Jerry. (I) As of update v1.1.0, Daniel gains tiredness equal to that in Dusk in the over world while in the caves from the previous tiredness gain in caves equal to night. Claimed Souls - Being a "Spectromancer™", Daniel has the ability to control spirits that he himself rips from mobs he kill... Claimed souls act as less powerful versions of Wendy's Abigail. Owning a Claimed Soul will raise Daniel's minimum tiredness/fatigue by 20% -- the more ghosts Daniel has claimed, the more tired he is. Sleeping or eating red caps will not reduce tiredness caused by Claimed Souls. Spoiler As of update v1.1.0, claimed souls health increased from 200 HP to 250 HP Damaged increased from 50% less from Abigail's base damage to 30% less. Giant Claimed Souls (souls claimed from defeated Giants) now have a lot more health (from 800 to 1000) and deal a lot more damage. When a Giant Claimed Souls dies, Daniel loses 50 tiredness. CUSTOM ITEMS: Jerry The Cane - Daniel brings along a cane possessed inhabited by the spirit of his best friend Jerry. Much like Lucy, Jerry can talk and has his own unique sets of quotes for different scenarios (from combat, Daniel's tiredness state, how much hunger points he has, and his own state whether he's on the ground, in storage, being in the same inventory as another Jerry, etc). Picking up another Jerry will make Daniel drop it and prompt Jerry to say something. Jerry is important to Daniel's first days as his grogginess will hinder travel and movement for a while so the trick is to get stocked up on supplies on the first day... Spoiler Jerry is essentially a walking cane but with the added features of having the ability to haunt objects/mobs much like a ghost does. Using Jerry to haunt things will drain 10 hunger from Daniel. A mob killed using Jerry or while it is being haunted grants a higher chance of spawning a Claimed Soul to do your bidding. The more insane Daniel gets, the more damage Jerry can whip out. Jerry also deals an added +20 bonus damage when attacking Ghosts or Nightmares. Breezy Roll Any self-respecting sleepy Spectromancer should save resources when savoring the sweet swoon of slumber! Daniel can craft specialized sleeping bags made from the versatile clothing materials this side of the void! Introducing the Koalefant Sleeping Bags! The Breezy Roll is a bed roll that is comfortable enough to even trump a tent with its hunger-sanity-health stats. Sleeping on a Breezy Roll effectively reduces tiredness and regenerates sanity for very little hunger! It has 8 uses and can be repaired with a Sewing Kit which effectively repairs 2 uses! All you need to do now is learn to hunt Koalefants and you're set. Puffy Roll - This thermal titan famously known to make excellent thermal clothes for winter can now turn tiredness into trifle things! Much like it's brother the Breezy Roll, the Puffy Roll is an effective means of making sleepy time into a pleasurable past time. Most suited for those long winter nights, it has 12 uses and adds a bonus of warming up Daniel even more! Disclaimer: These specialized sleeping bags may contain both night and creepy crawlers, some residual dried nasal residue (makes it bouncier if you ask me), and may, or may not be haunted by the spirits of the slain Koalefant... Survivor usage caution is advised... (basically, other survivors may not use them; this may or may not be subject to change, depending on how well they perform). Spoiler CRAFTING: Daniel starts with the Straw Roll and Fur Roll recipes already learned. (rope not included). The Spectromancer also has an advancement in magical recipes. (Prestihatitator recipes at Science Machines and Shadow Manipulator recipes at Prestihatitators) . Breezy Roll: (Prototyped at a Science Machine) Costs x1 Summer Koalefant Trunk, x8 x6 Spider Silk, and x2 Rope in the Survival tab. (v1.1.0) Puffy Roll: (Prototyped at an Alchemy Engine) Costs x1 Winter Koalefant Trunk, x12 x10 Spider Silk, and x2 Rope in the Survival tab. (v1.1.0) Jerry the Cane: (No prototyping necessary) Costs x2 Nightmare Fuel, x2 Bone Shards, and x4 Twigs in the Magic tab. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATES: MOD CHANGE LOGS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Big thanks to @Fidooop for making this character come to life! *insert Skype hug emote here* and to @ImDaMisterL and @NootNoot for helping take care of both Jerry's quotes and for character inspections for Daniel *insert skype hugS emote here*.

Sage of Legend charges for his art as he should with that quality We got him to make the Daniel Mod's art because he and Fid have a romantic thing with each other which I am fully supportive of have a very good work relationship.

Fidooop Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Just a little boop to let everyone know that Daniel had an update yesterday addressing a few of the bugs and the crash that came about from the most recent skins update! v1.0.6 Fixed crash that was caused by using a sleeping bag. Fixed bug that caused the Trunk Rolls to not show their proper anim when sleeping. Fixed tiredness meter not draining properly when sleeping in a Tent or Siesta. Sleeping in a Tent or Siesta now does added drainage to the tiredness meter. (not as much as the Trunk Rolls but more than the regular bedrolls) Daniel's all better and ready to play with again! ^-^ Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/68442-character-mod-daniel-the-spectromancer/#findComment-792552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidooop Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 After much playtesting a buff has been released to better balance Daniel! v1.1.0 Claimed Souls are now more common. Giant Claimed Souls are now slightly more rare. Claimed Souls can now be "freed" by Jerry. Claimed Souls now have a little more health (from 200 to 250) and deal more damage. Giant Claimed Souls now have a lot more health (from 800 to 1000) and deal a lot more damage. All Claimed Souls now do a slight bit more damage during the day. (from 50% damage to 60%) When a Claimed Soul dies Daniel loses 15 tiredness. When a Giant Claimed Souls dies Daniel loses 50 tiredness. When Daniel is in the caves his tiredness gain is now the same as if it was dusk 24/7 rather than night 24/7. Breezy Roll now costs 6 silk rather than 8. Puffy Roll now costs 10 silk rather than 12. Breezy Roll insulation lowered. Puffy Roll insulation increased. Enjoy! ^w^ Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/68442-character-mod-daniel-the-spectromancer/#findComment-796328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
