Overview

The Paladin is a tanky melee hybrid survivor who uses a combination of powerful melee attacks and long range spells. Writing these descriptions is time consuming so just try the character out for yourself and find out what works. He's got enough skills and flexibility to support a myriad of different playstyles.

Skin Mod Devs:

See the Custom Skin wiki tab on github

If you'd like to make a paladin skin, there's some extra skin features for Paladin you can/should take advantage of.

Thanks to those that have made skins for the man, and sorry they all broke 2.0.0. Reach out if you need help updating them to the new rig here.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
