A new demented class, the Martyr.

This addon requires the Forbidden Cults DLC to function.

Unlike the magical folk of the Hidden Sanctuary, Martyrs' Insanity manifests in mental powers.
Martyrs mix together Sling and Melee combat, needing to use both (correctly timed with their current insanity) to succeed.
With time, they developed much stranger powers.

New Talents:
Demented / Chivalry: A special half-tree, focusing on your melee attacks
Demented / Vagabond: A special half-tree, focusing on the use of a sling
Demented / Whispers: The core tree, adjusting your stats as your insanity waxes and wanes and guiding you around the battlefield
Demented / Unsettling Words: Confuse and weaken your enemies
Demented / Scourge: Crippling, tormenting melee attacks
Demented / Standard-bearer: Control the battlefield with your glorious flags!

Advanced Talents:
Demented / Final Moment: Make use of a very special sword
Demented / Revelation: Horrors are all around you, and you're the only one who's prepared
Psionic / Crucible: Direct mental attacks. The more damage you take, the more damage you do!

Old Talents:
Cunning / Survival
Psionic / Feedback

Allows you to set the level of enemies, the frequency of rare creatures, and some other elements of difficulty independently during character creation, to make the game as easy or hard as you like.

If you make the game at least as hard as a vanilla difficulty setting, you qualify for that difficulty's achievements.
If you make the game easier than normal in any way, you're set to Easy mode and disqualified from achievements.

This doesn't let you customize: The increased chance enemies have to notice you at higher difficulties.

This mod will be incompatible with other mods that re-arrange the character creation screen.

Superloads

• mod/dialogs/birther.lua to add the new options.
• mod/class/Actor.lua to allow the easy-mode status resistance
• mod/class/Game.lua to change stair-wait-on-kill

New characters in Maj'Eyal start out with the Rod of Asphyxiation, an item made to quickly drown npcs.

This addon changes the Rod of Asphyxiation from single target to aoe for faster killing. Everything else is unchanged.

This addon works well with the addon "Round'em Up And Then Drown'em".

Adds a new difficulty in between Nightmare and Insane to help prepare for the latter. If you've beaten standard Nightmare a few times though, you'll probably want to just try Insane and see if you like it.

Removes start scumming and drowning and replaces them with rebalance changes.

Full details in discussion thread.

planned v5 - remove all artifact generation from shops, figure out how to add phy/men wilds

v4 - added steamsaw/guns to old man

v3 - added dispersion (last hope), track (derth), burrow (shatur) and short staff (angolwen) to shops

v2 - rebalanced the old man randart power/egos, now equivalent to what would usually drop from a boss on the relevant difficulties, insane players get 2 tier 3s, madness get 2 tier 5s

v1.0.0
Places 'Marson's All-Seeing Eye' in your character's inventory which gives telepathy:all at +10 range when carried (20 range total under normal conditions).

I created this so I could experiment with Madness without the need for a crazy amount of scouting. This is an extreme solution to scouting tedium as it also sees through invisibility and stealth as well. I may come up with a middle-ground solution after mucking with this a bit.
