Focused Passives

Adds a number of passive skill trees to complement any playstyle without taking up hotbar space!

Forum link: https://community.gaslampgames.com/threads/skill-focused-passives.9026/

These skill trees are meant for a focused build based around either Warrior, Rogue, or Wizard. They work with (hopefully) every playstyle within those major builds (Counter + Crit Rogue? Check! Throwing + dodge Rogue? Also Check!) while mainly limiting usefulness to the other classes (Warrior gives -Savvy and Sagacity, and Wizard gets -Burliness, etc). There are only three active skills in the entire mod, and come very late in the skill trees (6th and 8th skill for Wizard, 8th skill for Warrior), relying almost entirely on stats and passive procs. Currently the stat gains on all trees are quite high, and will almost definitely be nerfed once I figure out some better balance and focus for how the trees will work as a whole.

This is an incredibly lightweight mod, using entirely vanilla graphics, animations, and sound, as well as adding no extra items, monsters, templates, or rooms. The skill ID's are 5252, 5253, and 5254 for any other modder's reference.
