Updated to work with Elden Ring SOTE 1.16.0

All New Starting Classes

This mod replaces the original 10 classes with new, more powerful, and lore-friendly classes. These characters are overpowered for the very earlygame, and are meant to mostly skip that part of the game and start with a built character right away.

Character details below.

Merging
