I've recently whipped up a bunch of cosmetics, both from ones I've wanted to make and from people's suggestions. The file below includes the following:

*Bandages (Head and limbs).

*Prayer beads (Neck and wrists).

*A beast headress, fully recolorable (Teeth, eyes and the pelt itself).

*A blank head without eyes, mouth, or other details.

*Two earrings.

*A fully recolorable pair of glasses (Frame and each individual lens).

*Ten halos with four of them being broken ones.

*Three haoris (Blank, half-black and checkered).

*A hood but instead of it being up, it is down.

*Four new horns (Massive goat, stumps, Hellboy-esque and ibex).

*A pipe and cigarrete.

*A flower crown and a flower mask (Disk and petals can be individually recolored on the latter).

*A popped collar cape.

*A fully recolorable prosthetic pack (Arms and legs).

*Two scientist coats, heavily inspired by Roxy Lalonde's.

*Three skull mask designs (Deer, bird and wolf).

*Two full-face masks (Blank and detailed, with the latter being akin to Amon's mask from Korra).

Originally, this pack was going to have a lot more cosmetics, but due to my energy depleting almost completely, I've decided to send in the ones that are done. In the future, I might be able to send the other cosmetics that still need to be made.

Currently using Twin Shot with a vampiric weapon does work as you'd expect, healing for 10% of the damage dealt: However if you critically hit, it still only heals for the base damage rather than the critical damage. This behavior is not shared with any other ability or basic attack that I've seen so far.

New Class Skills
Ranger

• Spellshot Sigil; Passive skill. Turning the shot into spell energy, the Ranger is capable of using their well-placed shots to amplify the Arcane. When you score a critical hit with a Bow weapon, you generate 1 Annorum charge.
  

• Zen Blade; Passive skill. Calm your center and restore strength. When using Sheath Sword with more than 3 Momentum, you recover 15 FP per Momentum point exceeding 3 (IE, 4 Momentum would restore 15 FP, 7 Momentum would restore 60 FP.) After activating, this effect has a 3 round cooldown, unless Kensei is both your main class and sub class.
  

• Ki Blast; Offensive skill. Concentrate your ki into a small projectile blast. Uses 5 Ki. Targets 1 enemy within 6 Range and performs a basic attack on them with your Fist weapon, which deals magic damage. If Ki Awoken is active, the damage is increased by 15% and is done over 3 hits. 1 round CD.
  

• Doble Pirouette; 1M. 2 round CD. Dance skill. A simple dance move to improve flexibility. Targets 1 unit within 5 Range. You, and any other unit you target, spin in place one time, and gain Doble Pirouette LV 10 until your next turn. (+1 Attack Range, +1 Range for Double Dance's Attacks, +LV Evade)
  

• Crack Joints; Spend a moment to crack your knuckles, your neck, and all that good stuff. Grants Loosened Body LV X (based on Rank, +LV Evade, Crit Evade, Power, LV5 at max rank) for 5 rounds. If you have no torso equipped, or your total Battle Weight is 5 or less, this skill costs 1M less. 5 round CD.
  

• Guerilla Tactics; Passive skill, Max SP 3. Attacks made while you are in a Nest have increased Critical (based on Rank). If you have used the Move skill in the same round while this skill's effects are active, critical hits have a chance to inflict Confusion LV5 for 2 rounds.
  

• Dhessence; Create a vitality-stealing burst of darkness that hits 1 enemy within 5 Range, dealing Dark magic damage to them. If it hits, you recover HP (based on Rank). If the target was weak to Dark damage, you recover 50% more. (1 round CD, Max SP 3, HP Heal: 1 + 3 x Rank)
  

• Blackened Faith; Passive skill. Sometimes, we put our faith in unorthodox sources. For Priest spells, spells that utilize Light ATK and deal Light damage are changed to use Dark ATK and deal Dark damage respectively (there is no change to the scaling values). Some Invocations may also be altered in a similar way, if they deal with Light ATK or Light damage.
  

• Grand Repertoire; Innate skill. Main class only. The Grand Summoner earns their 'Grand' title, if for no other reason but numbers. Increases the number of active Youkai contracts you have by 1.

There are a lot of Donation items that are untradeable, and require a character to be deleted to have them moved to the Global Bank.

Asago Bank Card expansions are one of them. I understand the 'why'... but considering the fact that these items are mostly stuck on G6 characters and some of them have history that one would like to be preserved...

Having a way to remove these (and therein, the max bank capacity) would be greatly appreciated. Even if it means that you are sitting at 350/25 item slots.

Drawbacks:
1. Taking the "Keen Hearing" character trait makes the character more susceptible to sound damage and/or receiving ruptured ear from sound damage.

• Shouts have a special effect around the text for characters with Keen Hearing, similar to the Madness Mantra trait (no drawback, just for fluff)
  

As everyone who has looked at Kensei knows...

Elemental katanas have a massive disparity between them. Raijin, Braver, Hisen. They're the top of the class and have been for a while because the elemental katanas (essentially every other type of katana worth talking about) aren't very good even without these contenders. But if we look at JUST Raijin, it's simply BETTER than its competitors in the elemental class (even after recent nerfs.)

So I will propose some changes for the current state of the elemental katanas. I really don't think their respective sheath swords should be locked behind potential, and furthermore, I won't touch what the sheath swords do because that's not what I want to talk about. There is a common theme of increasing their scalings, however, and I aim to open up combos through swapping swords.

Ice Tiles created by Expanding Ice cannot encroach upon a Rock Pillar, if it would expand onto the tile, it instead does not.

You can place Void Gates, and travel to Void Gates, that have a dense object (Rock Pillar, in this instance) on them.

Considering you can't Blink or otherwise enter this tiles, this is probably a bug.

Goodness, sorry for all the recent bug reports aha

It would seem that roundtrip is counting against armor twice for some reason, this is not consistent with any other physical damage multihit as far as I am aware of. It probably should be dividing the armor in half.



Tested using a target with 0 armor and then vs 10 armor, and the damage drops by 10 for each hit in the following battle.

I think the base soldier skills are quite old, and since GR2, their reliability has been nullified by the vast majority of hits in the game requiring hit to actually pull off now. 

I think a small general numbers buff along with some utilities could help spice them up and bring them into a new light, I know DH sorta limits what you can do with these skills so I've tried my best to constrain my own suggestions within what Reaver Stance is capable of. 

My suggestions don't have to be taken exactly but I thought it'd be fun/practical to share what I think they could be.
