Indiscriminate Science: A Plague Doctor Rework Mod

Description
Indiscriminate science stains the surgeon's hands.

This mod looks to rework Plague Doctor in the same way previous heroes have been reworked to add a variety of engaging play styles. This mod changes 7 different skills on Wanderer (default), 4 skills on the Surgeon and Alchemist Paths, and 8 skills on the Physician Path. All these changes are aimed to give Plague Doctor a variety of roles in her different paths that feel unique.

This time, the mod ideas are not my own. This mod was based on Sammy!'s ideas for a full rework, and since they were so interesting, I decided to make a mod with those ideas.

I normally publish the list of changes on the same mod but due to Steam character’s limits, it’s not possible. Please refer to This Google Docs file[docs.google.com] for the complete changelog.

  • @GNiko for creating the thumbnail image for this mod and for creating the effects on Early Experiment.
  • The folks at Grave Raptors and Darkest Dungeon Discord channels who provided feedback and ideas for this mod when it was just a Physician-only mod.

Known bugs
Due to the workaround I used to create path skills, some skills appear as Mastered on The Crossroads and you can't use the Alt key to see the upgraded version. You can check the upgraded skills on The Inn though. Those skills include

  • Alchemist: Ounce of Prevention, Battlefield Medicine.
  • Surgeon: Cause of Death.
  • Physician: Blinding Gas, Battlefield Medicine.

Folks, due to the workaroun I use to make custom path skills, it is causing that when you're using Wanderer and master the mentioned path skills, you'll noticed a version of this skill with the Unlock icon that can be mastered again, which will occupy additional space. On both Confessions and Kingdoms those skills can be "unlocked. Please do not upgrade those fake skills since it will potentially make them useless and break the game. I added a note for each fake "Mastered" skill to indicate you should not upgrade them.

UPDATE: Surgeon Indiscriminate Science no longer targets Plague Doctor. This is because if you target her you'll get nothing, so that's the easier fix

ditto, these reworks are great!
i really enjoy the reworks that you made of the characters you did so far, and i hope you continue doing more of these in the future

This mod is super interesting, however the physician NEEDS to get her healing buffed on battle field med. Currently, there is no reason to ever use it over indiscriminate science, as the 2 heal per dot is almost never going to get value. The cleanse on everyone is nice, but the 2 heal should either be buffed to like 4-5 per on upgrade, or removed and give a different buff.
