    Hi, all! First post! I want to thank the developers for making such a fantastic game!

    On topic:

    NB! This is just a rough idea I came up with last night while not sleeping. I lack the game understanding, skill and patience to make a mod such as this myself, so I just share this undeveloped idea in case someone will feel inspired to make something of it. I hope it's OK for me to post it here even if I have no intent to develop it myself. I haven't putten much effort into the descriptions and such, as someone can probably do better than me. Also not gonna bother with numbers, as I have no idea what is balanced. Anyway, here goes :cool:

    Gameology "People said you were wasting your life away. You knew better!" Warrior skill?

    Starting item: Glorious neckbeard (neck). :resist_conflagratory::stubborness:

    1) 1,05x experience gain.
    "Your familiarity with grinding makes leveling up a breeze"

    Also consecutive levels will keep increasing xp gain up to a total of 1,10x or 1,15x? I think this should be the first skill, as for the rest they come in no particular order.

    2) Single target ability: Uninstall, noob! :dmg_conflagratory::dmg_existential:. "You know how to make others doubt their ability"

    3) Stance: Nerd rage Buffs :crit::edr::melee_power:, debuffs :counter::block::dodge:. "I know best! You attack mercilessly, however experienced cybernauts know how to counter your simple rhetorics"

    4) Stats :burliness::melee_power::edr:. "Who needs others for what you can do perfectly fine by yourself? Years of basement dwelling has developed your arm strength. Furthermore, sticky hands allow for a better grip on your weapon"

    5) Single target ability: Wombo Combo :dmg_crushing:+paralyze. "Back in your younger days when you still went out amongst people, the arcade was the place to go. Your knowledge of this secret technique ensured no one ever beat you"

    6) Stats :crit::edr:. Single target ability: Gamer's Gagging Grapple :dmg_aphyxiative:+mute/silence. "Twenty fingers! A lifetime of button smashing has resulted in several new fingers. You wield your weapon like no one else, and can plant your hands in people's face to dire effects"


    That's what I've got. I think the concept is funny, but the skills probably need a lot of work. Thanks for reading!

    Welcome to the forums!
    I don't think (though I might be wrong) that you can add a passive experience gain.
    Also is number 4 really what I think it is? :p

    You can add an onkill with each level of the skill which gives like +5xp or something - this means it sort of scales as you go.

    Thanks!
    It is whatever you want it to be ;) I know what it suggests, and that was the intention, yes.

    Today I had a similar idea for a concept class, but it's a wizard skill tree.
    This is the geek day.

    How about a mass D4 caltrop trap?
    Or a lead/steal D20? (throwing weapon)
    Or an initiative roll? Every turn you roll, if 1 you get stunned, if 20 everyone else.
    Red ring of death/blue screen? (AoE)
    Speed typing attack? Combo chance.
    1337 speak debuff? (for opponents)
    Mouse pointer weapon, that sometimes selects opponents (debuff)?
