You can mod the classes and their abilities, actually. I swapped their classes (Crusader & Highwayman to Bounty Hunter & Houndmaster) as a test, and found their skill names in their hero files. Worked without issue. You could tweak their starting quirks the same way.
Yep. It’s pretty cool to be able to edits the tutorial. I released my mod a few days ago.
