This is a TSLRCM-required mod that allows the player to recruit both the Handmaiden and Disciple in the same playthrough, regardless of gender. It also fixes any gender-specific dialogue when it involves those two characters. It adds an item to the inventory when you pick up the Disciple, which allows you to 'swap' the Handmaiden in and out of the party, when available.

This mod is finally making its debut on ModDB! Don't worry DS, I'm not going anywhere.

Well, this mod has previously been released at DeadlyStream.com, but the file has been taken down by my request. The reason: I have already done a massive overhaul on the mod and the way it works, even starting from scratch on the installer.

A little background: if you haven't seen the DeadlyStream support topic for PartySwap, what has been happening is a lot of people have been complaining that previous versions of the mod just plain don't work - as in the item 'PartySwap' that is given to you when you recruit the Disciple doesn't show up in the usable items list, or if it does, it doesn't do anything. Others reported a line of dialogue or scripting issues I might have missed, and eventually everything kept piling up until I knew something had to change.

See, originally, the item was an armband, meaning you had to equip it to use it. While this (should have) worked, it took up a spot on your equipment table, meaning you could only ever equip one more armband for whatever other use. I decided to make it into an 'adrenal' meaning it would end up not using up your gear slot, except it will still appear in the usable items list as though it were an armband, meaning it isn't buried underneath all the other adrenals and medical supplies.

That's just the beginning. I'll hopefully have a video ready with the launch that will act either as a trailer or a tutorial on using the mod - maybe a bit of both. I'm still in the testing process, and I'll have to play through the game at least twice. My current playthrough is as a female exile, and the next will be as a male, just so I know I got everything.
