Charge system: Hubris
Whenever a God skill is used, hubris is generated. As hubris increases, your hero gains additional benefits offensively and defensively. If hubris reaches max, your character is penalized and weakened drastically for one minute. Hubris does not decay over time but there is an innate % chance on killing enemies to reduce your hubris.
Lore: In Greek Mythology, Nemesis was the spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris (arrogance before the deities).

Epoch, it's great to have you back. 

One thing I'm lacking, and I feel as though I do not have the skills to manage, is designing the starting armor for this class. This is what I'd like to make it look like (minus the cape and cloak):

Hi Epoch!  I think I've got the right silhouette with this armor mash-up...

Spoiler (hover to show)

Crested helm...



oops, gotta do some gloves too...

Textures will be completely redone of course.

This is using armor pieces which already exist in the game, so if the silhouette isn't to your liking, the pieces can be switched with others to achieve (close to) whatever you want.

Just let me know what you'd like changed

Oh that looks amazing so far. Thanks so much!

Yeah. I think eventually I'll try and get the sash and belt stuff removed.

Yeah, those look pretty cool.

Here's some armor I was working on before I took my hiatus. It's all pretty much rip-offs of Smite.





The helmet I got attached just fine, but my skills at attaching boots and legs to the skeleton weren't good enough to complete those.

NP @Epoch ! feels good to do something I can actually finish in good form LOL!

Very nice models from Smite there!  Am pretty sure Kva could get those attached for you right quick

Hi @Bill Hartman ! Did you want this set-up too, from existing armors?

Anything you guys are willing to do to help out is greatly appreciated. I really want to get this project moving forward again and can acknowledge that I just don't have all the skills necessary to do everything myself or release anything in a timely fashion. Bill and I have been putting together some pretty amazing ideas for boss encounters and map layouts.

Any help I can get from you and Kva (or anyone else interested) will help produce an amazing mod. Another area I could use a hand with is particle effects. As hard as I try, I just can't produce great looking particles or make them work as I desire.

Texture help is something I'd greatly appreciate as I have absolutely no talent using photoshop. There is a massive amount of armor I'd like to texture to fit the theme of the mod and I'd like to retexture the items from Smite once I finish making changes to them (so that they are not exact replicas and fit my theme more).

Hi Phanjam, I am indeed working with Epoch. Anything you would like to do to assist would be welcome. If you could transfer the silks of the victor to Torchlight II would be appreciated. Focus on your content first...

Have a good one, Phanjam, and thanks!
