So the blackguard died to the miniboss and all his trinkets are just gone. is this a bug?

The Hateful Revenant mini boss needs adjust. I had some bug were it shows another bar damage, like let's say 10 hit on a 17 HP bar, but he has over 80 hp. Plus, it made and atk that make all chars receive high stress and 2 had heart atks. Thats too much. I decided to let the Blackguard die just to get out of the battle.

S-Purple? As in "Cloud Meadows" S-Purple? That dude?

Wish there was an option to get this class without the stupid boss encounter. I find myself avoiding bringing this guy because I just want to have a run without some boss ruining everything because I camped.

If you want a JAW-DROPPING experience *false applause and background laughter*, The Blackguard is your dude. He is a massive mountain of bones in armor that terrifies everyone on the battlefield, enemies, allies, the player... And, damn, it is good!

10 "..." quotes/10

killed by the Revenant, and your trinkets are gone?

Hi, I accidentally 'thumbs down'ed this mod due to a misclick. Steam will, apparently, not allow me to take that back and unrate it again.

I am so sorry. If anyone reads this, please subtract one downvote from this mod. It was not intentional and is not meant.

Pulverize and Call of the Grave may be a little overtuned. At full dark they just make enemies explode. Feels too close to easy mode playing him :-(
Tweed 14 Nov, 2021 @ 8:33pm 
Great class, just wish he wasn't so chatty.
Друманин Дрин 4 Nov, 2021 @ 12:38pm 
One of the attack has textures error. There are visible white borders of sprite. Hope you could fix it.

I was using Blackguard with some other skeleton classes and the necromancer from witches legion and he was able to cause bleed to blackguard and blackguard only has 200 base bleed resist which i think is rather low even tho hes a skeleton could you up this to 500 where he wouldnt bleed sorry.

@dchapman5017

It seems he takes increasing amounts of damage as you hit him. So your first few hits are 1 a piece but my final hit was up to 17. He also didn't let my Blackguard die; he was on Death's Door and the Revenant stunned himself and gave the Blackguard a 5 turn restoration. After I "killed" the Revenant, my Blackguard got a massive stress heal along with decent stress heals on the rest of the party.

Are there tips out there for revenant boss? Cant find any
itagamineko 18 Aug, 2021 @ 7:14am 
definetly my favorite mod :D i love the cute skeleton guy so much
UphillBuffalo 11 Jul, 2021 @ 8:22pm 
Is there a trick I'm missing to dealing with the Revenant? Seems like he really just puts the smack down on my heroes and has some type of damage resistance i can't pinpoint. Fun mod outside of the encounter though.

Revenant = Nightmare's Boss
ben.thomason1 22 May, 2021 @ 10:18pm 
What's this about a "revenant"? I've been playing with this mod for about a year now and I've never encountered anything like that.
Albertine_Crowley 17 May, 2021 @ 9:20am 
There are spelling mistakes in the French translation. I can correct them if you send me the XML file. I'm on discord AlbertineCrowley#8647
Albertine_Crowley 28 Mar, 2021 @ 2:16pm 
Hi. I have two trinkets dropped by the revenant, Book of dead names and immortal remains. In the trinket's description, it mentioned "PAS". What is PAS please ?
voronin_mike 6 Mar, 2021 @ 5:40pm 
An interesting class, though feels slightly OP. One thing I noted, however, is that his nightmare encounter stops Shieldbreaker's from occurring. And as I returned to the game after a long pause I wanted to rewatch her story, too. A pity. Also, the flail trinket feels about useless: it forces you to use the talent you normally won't AND penalizes you for it. As other talents of the class are much more useful there is just no sense to take this thing. Actually, probably should get more melee talents and/or have his only one have some special effects. Otherwise, it is just the worst talent in his arcenal.
poeT 21 Feb, 2021 @ 2:15am 
Would be pretty fun clas, but call of the grave dealing half hp to each position without granting debuffs/dmg to player party/highly debuffing/damaging blackguard is straight too strong. Are you going to nerf this anytime?
Orties 12 Feb, 2021 @ 2:05am 
Couldn't help but notice that the sprites other than the ones for walking, idle and combat are lacking shadows.
Shay  [author] 10 Feb, 2021 @ 4:39am 
Good point, I hadn't thought of that. Just patched it, should work that way now.
deadliftdead 10 Feb, 2021 @ 4:31am 
Yes. Just used the item on a misson. The NOT lines are disabled. I guess they are design relicts.

Another note on this item:
The horror effects seem are a bit off. Currently you get horror on a hit and clear your current horror on a crit.
However, since a crit also triggers the horror aspect, you are likely to get a critical horror effect (5 turns of 3 horror) on that same hit, resulting in a net horror gain. I would suggest that you reverse the order of these effects, such that the clear horror effect triggers after the horror check for hitting is resolved.
Shay  [author] 10 Feb, 2021 @ 3:34am 
Oh, that's an error. I'll patch it now lol. And yeah, he just got added in the last patch.
deadliftdead 10 Feb, 2021 @ 3:15am 
Interesting. But the Book of Dead Names is part of the mod, right? I got It from that nightmare encounter. It has a lot of effects. The Item description begins with:
Revenant
NOT +15% DMG
NOT +5% Crit
+30% DMG if not afflicted
...(Item description continues)

It does not look like a script error. And it's the first time I've seen the NOT.
Anyway, the nightmare boss has is really well designed. It's a new addition to the class, right? I didn't get the encounter in my last campaign.
Shay  [author] 10 Feb, 2021 @ 1:36am 
That's probably another mod messing with the tooltips. Not sure what you're using, but I don't have anything that reads like that in the trinkets.
deadliftdead 9 Feb, 2021 @ 5:02am 
Just took him on a camping trip. Realized something was off when he gave a custom bark after eating. Really cool new content.
Does the NOT in the item I got stand for no torchlight?
coatl 30 Dec, 2020 @ 1:07pm 
Does he have a district associated?
Bromonger 23 Dec, 2020 @ 8:09am 
Rattle me boooones!
bms1125123450 19 Dec, 2020 @ 8:56pm 
How is his heal, dodge, and damage base? Is he comparable to a crusader, Leper, or bounty hunter, etc?

Extra wide
Devv 12 Nov, 2020 @ 7:34pm 
call of the grave is pretty op tbh but great mod!
𝕯𝕰𝕰♊ 3 Nov, 2020 @ 1:15pm 
Great sprites, synergises well with other classes and interesting abilities without being too OP - many thanks!

Alhough he's the only character in this universe with 4 fingers instead of 3... intentional?

ben.thomason1 9 Oct, 2020 @ 12:16pm 
I think I've figured out this guy's backstory now. Some necromancers were going to a graveyard to grab some minions, but the first body they tried reanimated happened to have been a crusader or male vestal (I'm assuming that this is a male skeleton) or whatever during life, which somehow allowed him to resist the necromancer's control. Then he looked down, saw that he was now an undead monstrosity, and decided that this was an insufficient reason to stop doing the light's bidding. Then he learned about the hamlet somehow and figured he might as well go there.
Zardoz 9 Oct, 2020 @ 6:52am 
oh, I thought they counted as 0 light, I guess i'm just dumb then, thx for the explaining and sorry for questioning you without even knowing what I was talking about :stress:
great mod by the way, one of my favorite class mods, very unique and well made
Shay  [author] 8 Oct, 2020 @ 9:51pm 
Courtyard and Farmstead always count as being at full light. You can't dim the torch there, so with that trinket you get big buffs to his speed and healing output with minimal downsides.
Zardoz 8 Oct, 2020 @ 6:35pm 
hey, I just took a look at his COM trinket (http://prntscr.com/uvtusd) and iI either don't understand your design decision or think you might have reversed the torch values, because i don't understand why you would ever take a blackguard if you pretend to go 100% torch value, as his benefits from darkness way outweight the trinket's buffs, making a trinket that you actually have to buy be useless.
ben.thomason1 4 Oct, 2020 @ 1:20pm 
Also, the Inexorable ability should probably be modified to make shuffles skip to the next slot over instead of haulting them outright. because I've just discovered that otherwise, it's completely broken when used in conjunction with a sheildbreaker or highwayman's point blank shot. Speaking of game breakers, call of the grave is kinda one in it's own right, I mean there's probably a reason that all the base game whole-roster-hitters only apply status ailments.
ben.thomason1 27 Sep, 2020 @ 10:53pm 
he also tells you if that item had no effect.
ben.thomason1 25 Sep, 2020 @ 10:22am 
The blackguard has spoken dialogue while in the recruit carriage
ben.thomason1 20 Sep, 2020 @ 12:49pm 
neat gimmick. I'll give it a shot
Dracomar. El Demonio Gris 7 Sep, 2020 @ 6:38pm 
The truth is, I'm taking a liking to your creation, at first I lost a lot, I still have a hard time knowing how to use it, but I really liked the skills, it has good balance, and I like the unique mechanics it has, it is very useful to my team and It has good defense, I thank you for being able to use it thanks to you, do everything possible to strengthen it to the maximum.
scottstaples529 28 Aug, 2020 @ 11:44am 
love the comic strip
Michelozzo 27 Aug, 2020 @ 7:56pm 
Is anyone else having an issue where life steal isn't giving the bonus 9% of max HP heal when used on unholy units?
Krusader Jones 16 Aug, 2020 @ 4:27pm 
Blackguards artstyle reminds me of those really old dnd modules. I really like it!
Sneery Thug 12 Aug, 2020 @ 1:26am 
Shay, have U thought, about adding the Blackguard also as a custom enemy ? - his abilities and his design suit so perfectly to the Ruins ! Wouldn't it be a great addition?
LH 10 Aug, 2020 @ 2:19pm 
My blackguard is a nymphomaniac.
Mechanicus Loremaster 7 Aug, 2020 @ 9:22am 
It such a good hero! Is there any way of turning off his religious trait though? He's a perfect fit for a pure undead party Ive made, but his religious trait makes camping a nightmare.
