FOR READERS OF WORM AND WARD:
While this mod doesn't contain any explicit spoilers for the story of Ward, it does contain some abilities and item descriptions that could hint at certain events and character moments from the plot. I would avoid this mod if you are planning on reading or haven't finished reading Ward and certainly if you haven't finished Worm.
OVERVIEW:
This is an updated version of my previous Antares mod. It has been rebuilt from the ground up (I had to after some technical issues from the last mod file) to be far more intuitive and fun, as well as adding support up to level 20. You are also able to multiclass.
As faithfully as I could manage, I've added every ability and skill Antares displays from the story. Her forcefield, emotional aura, and flight of course being the major ones, but there are many other actions beyond those 3 added as well. In the interest of balance, I've added a new Action Resource called Forcefield Strength. Most base abilities can be used without issue, like summoning the forcefield and aura. The more powerful forcefield abilites, however, require some amount of Forcefield strength to use.
As is the case with Antares abilities, this class's main gameplay surrounds making the most out of your short time with the forcefield up, meaning you need to play carefully in order to keep the forcefield up as long as possible. There are abilities that you unlock as you progress that give you more options both in terms of keeping your Wretch up and in terms of doing as much damage as possible.
LEVEL PROGRESSION:
(If I don't specify damage die, that means it scales as you level up.)

KNOWN ISSUES
- When the Wretch or Fragile One finishes recharging, the ability to summon them might not unlock again immediately. This can usually be solved by just waiting a bit or by interacting with an action on the hot bar (not using it, just interacting with it)
- Icons aren't working just yet.
- When the Fragile One is detached, if combat ends while it's summoned, it'll go invisible and wont be able to use any abilities (besides dismissing itself). You'll have to dismiss it to fix the issue.
- Shard Hate doesn't add damage to ally attacks yet.
