Description

⚔️ GOTHIC KEEPSAKES & DIFFICULTY TRIALS

A grim, Souls-like progression system designed for dark fantasy RPG modpacks. It unites Difficulty Trials, Class Archetypes, and Starting Keepsake Relics into a single cohesive experience.

 Gothic Difficulty Trials 

Customize the grimness of your journey through modular challenge tiers and curse modifiers:

  • Challenge Tiers: Normal, Hard, Veteran, and Chaos.
  • Modifiers: Heavy Gravity, Tough Mobs, Bleeding, Tight Parry, Heavy Roll, Night Terrors, Brittle Armory, and Charged Catastrophe.
  • Seal Destiny: Lock in your active trial modifiers for the playthrough.

  • StartingClasses

Begin as a specialized hero: Gothic Paladin, Blood Berserker, Shadowblade, Cleric of Dawn, Abyss Cultist, and more. Each class equips the player with bespoke starting weapons, armor sets, and specialized traits. 

Starting Keepsakes 

⚠️ SOULBOUND SELECTION: Choose wisely — your keepsake is bound to your soul and can only be selected ONCE per lifetime!
