1. Go to Profiles in Main Menu and enable mods.
2. Make a new character.
3. In Town, talk to Kelly the Modder NPC, it's near the mines.

Hi, enjoying the class.
Any chance you could adjust the display text of the class title bonus for higher New Game+ numbers to stack?
As I just completed a NG+20-something run, my entire screen is taken over by "+2.5% Class Title" lines in the hover-over text.
Thanks again!

It will show up as a bard in the character selection menu.

When I create a new character with a standard class and then convert it to the mod class, how does it appear in my character loading screen? Will it show up as Bard or will it still say the original class type and require me to remember which of my saved characters has the modded class?

A description of what 'confusion' does on Moonwalker would be nice.
All i could see is either it slows very slightly or does absolutely nothing. not sure about either.

@hal9000 ok, after some testing and messing around. Something appears to be wrong with your Haste level 3 buff, it's not giving any of the bonuses. Which is why mine didn't work, because i used hast-buff-3 as the base. DM me for more w/e. :D

@five tails, the haste attack speed buff now works as intended. I hope everything is fine now.

@hal9000 i'm having a huge issue with converting your haste buff. In addition, in the base mod it appears that the movement speed buff and the buff for skill speed (which is written as attack speed) fails.

@Five Tails Sure, no problem.

@hal9000 Here is something important, would it be ok, if i expanded on your code, and credited you to make your classes usable with the 'more town' mod?
