This class is oriented around allowing the character to stay in a battle longer through enhanced health items and health+resistance buffs allowing for more damage resistance as a mage class while not sacrificing magic abilities through armor but could serve as a potent tanking ability for a warrior or battle mage.

    There is already a Dire Gourmand class mod, in this spirit - though you're obviously welcome to have your own take on the idea.
    Honestly, this skill tree looks like it gets very OP'd very fast, to me.

    You could make this yourself, check out the modding forum. This kind of mod would be very easy to make.
     
  4. You seem to take a "grab bag" approach to assigning stats to things. Try to focus on a smaller handful of stats that would be appropriate, specific, or salient. Per Loren's suggestion I'm renaming mine to something more booze-related, so you're welcome to make a chef skill of your own if you want - I can't really comment on balance, though, because my eyes glaze over when I crash into those walls of stat boosts.

    Some of this stuff sounds like it could be an item pack, too - and with item packs, people can add them to any game run, whereas with a skillset they have to commit one of their 7 skills, which is a bigger commitment.
