Here are this weeks mods:

The Scarecrow by Chassé

Ever wanted to play as one of the Scarecrows from the Farmstead?
...
Probably not, honestly. Here's a mod for it anyway. This mod DOES NOT require any DLC, not even Color of Madness.

The Scarecrow is a support class / damage dealer, one of the enemies from the endless Farmstead given new life as an ally. He has a wide variety of abilities allowing him to function in multiple party compositions, and is able to fulfil many roles. He comes with 4 basic palette-swap skins, and the unique ability to gain the Refracted affliction outside of the Farmstead.

The Sepulchre by Cryptix

A holy spirit trapped in runebound armor, or a mad wraith driven to consume souls? Only the ancestor knows the truth, and he's not talking. Nevertheless, armed with a hand crafted harvester scythe and the powers of death itself, the Sepulchre can weather the tides of battle with its abilities, and grows stronger over the course of a dungeon thanks to its signature ability Offering. This is the first of the Misfortunate classes, a group banded together over their shared past with a mysterious creature known only as the Hand.

Here are this weeks mods:

The Phantom by O'Nightmare! and Hooded_Lay

This class is based on the typical Rogue/Thief archetype, if they were embraced by religion. Stealth and mark play work together with shuffles as a setup for the Phantom to deliver powerful critical hits, besides him coming with his own little arsenal of tricks and the assassin's favorite: venom, from a snake's fangs to his weapons, to be used whenever you deem it fit! A concocted item which adds a damage dealing debuff, similar to blight, to all his attacks.

The Zenith by Dem and Adon

The Zenith approaches the Hamlet with an unwavering smile on his lips. He's an acrobatic fighter who cuts with his charm and his spear. With an oath in service to the god of honor and brotherhood, the Zenith inspires calm in his allies through bravado; helping to distract them from the horrors of adventuring. When required, he can set aside his jovial attitude and manifest the power of the Golden Janissary Style. This combat style affords great flexibility powering up combination moves to prepare for a devestating final attack that strikes out against eldritch and unholy enemies with righteous fury. His dedication to being an inspiring sun for his allies comes at the cost of his durability. He is an unarmored, mobile dancer who moves through the ranks of his allies. The Zenith's hedonistic personality will neither amuse the pious nor inspire trust in people with impressionable spouses.
