Introduction

"Disillusionment...a powerful force for change. But at what cost?"

The Arbiter is a brand new class mod for Darkest Dungeon with custom artwork, sounds, and animations! A weathered soldier who betrayed his people after discovering a terrible secret, he is a potent damage dealer with an impressive degree of flexibility. But what does he have to lose?

Combat Abilities









Camping Abilities






Additional Information
  • The Arbiter is not religious.
  • The Arbiter comes with a full set of regular, CC, and CoM trinkets, along with a single universal trinket (isn't a head).
  • If the Arbiter lands a critical hit, he buffs all other heroes with +5 ACC for 2 rds.
  • The Arbiter will refuse to meditate for stress relief and cannot gain quirks related to it.
  • Due to literally being a bird, the Arbiter cannot party with the Scarecrow.
  • The Arbiter has special dialogue with the Ringmaster and the Prefect.
  • The Arbiter uses the House of the Yellowhand district.
  • He has an additional decorative UI mod (full credit to OxTailSafu for this!)
  • His canon name is Garrus.

The Coven



The Arbiter originally fought with a militaristic group called the Coven. You can download the Coven as a separate mod expansion here, and I highly recommend you do so, as it has special interactions with this mod. That said, the mod will function fine without it.

@aminoacido plays,

I just updated the mod. Try updating and check it again (the bugged text should be replaced with english, I don't think my translator worked on those lines)

The Protection Detail skill is especially more bugged, and the only information that appears on the description is that its protect a allie and give 1+ moviment, other informations appears bugged like that "[<buff_stat>]" things i mentioned

@Vintage,

The informations like damage vs stun, precision, damage % appears normaly, but some informations appear bugged/extensive, like "[<buff_stat_tooltip_upgrade_discount_Loc_AimforHeartTooltipExtra>]", instead of "This skill has a critical hit chance of 100%" i presume

@aminoacido plays,

Heya, could you explain in more detail what the problem is? I can’t fix it simply by you saying it’s bugged, you gotta tell me how/why

The brazilian portuguese translation for the description of "Protection Detail" and "Aim for the Hearth" are bugged

took me a bit to realize the guard grants a free MOVE action. oops. nonetheless this class is top notch quality, the art is phenomenal, the trinket design is very fun and the class itself is fun to play. Im glad we have amazing modders like this! thank you for your work!

@Vintage,

I must be the unluckiest person in the world, then, because I got afflicted while using the Crimson Court trinket set. I assumed it must have been 50% from that. Thanks for the clarification.

@Dog,

Thanks so much for your feedback and analysis on both this mod and the Tempest! Really glad you were picking up on those story threads I left behind, and I love your breakdown of some of the trinkets! (I admit I had a lot of trouble designing some of Arbiter's stuff compared to my other mods, they are definitely a bit more binary than I would like).

Also a quick P.S about the virtue chance: the Arbiter's CC set bonus sets his virtue chance to 95%, not 50%. It's not 2x of 25%, it's 25% + 100%, which hits the cap of 95%. It would be much worse if it was just 50%.

Similarly, Pistoleer's Preferred (removing the mark requirement from Lightning Hands at the cost of a big damage debuff) has a opportunity cost of reducing your available moves (and that great flexibility) for a middling free attack. The Crimson Court trinkets rely on you hitting the 50% chance to virtue to get any value out of them, otherwise they act as big detriments.

Design-wise, I love how he looks. But I especially love his attack animations. The creator really captured the satisfying sounds and recoil of a rifle. A common theme among this creator's mods is incorporating stacks of unique dialogue for town and camping events that make each character feel not only mechanically unique, but lore unique as well. The Arbiter's dialogue is rich with compelling hints of his backstory. Perfectly encapsulates show-don't-tell, because I'm left wanting to learn more about Brynn and Arbiter's time in the Coven.
