juniperselkie 4 Posted May 19, 2018 So, we don't have a topic for this just yet, and I thought it would be nice for players to be able to suggest new abilities for the rpg that they would like to see. Now, I know that prestige classes are in the works. So maybe this will help produce some things we will all enjoy! I'll start first. Though, my suggestions are just stuff I brainstormed at four am. So don't expect too much! BLOOD MAGIC +Blood Bolt - lash out at a target, reducing their speed and dealing damage over time, at the cost of hp +Blood Funnel - drain hp from a target +Blood Barrier - sacrifice hp to create a shield that absorbs damage +Transfusion - Transfer HP to a target +Crimson Tides - increase damage done at the cost of hp +Red Miles - heavy hp cost, attack multiple targets. VOID/SHADOW MAGIC +Mind Control - remove yourself from the turn order and seize control of a target for a few turns. +Shadow Summons - call forth a minion of the void (voidwalker, shadowfiend, voidcaller, void terror, void revenant, voidlord, void wraith) +Wraith Walk - shift over to the shadowlands, increasing dodge chance and damage mitigation, as well as disengaging from all targets. +Void Shield - rather than mitigating damage, reflects a percentage of damage back at the attacker. NECROMANCY +Control Undead - seize control of an Npc of the undead type +Raise Dead - summon forth an undead minion (skeleton, ghoul, abomination, geist, banshee, wraith, wisp) based on the parts you have? +Death Coil - restore hp to an undead minion +Death Pact - sacrifice your minion to restore your health ARCANE MAGIC +Invisibility - unable to be targeted/engaged for a period if time, potentially protects from being pulled into fights? FEL MAGIC +Summon Demon (imp, succubus, felhunter, felguard, observer, internal doomguard, shivarra, inquisitor, gan’arg, wyrmtongue). Each demon serves a different purpose (combat vs utility) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trip 10 Posted May 19, 2018 Anything that stops a person from doing anything is something we want to avoid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juniperselkie 4 Posted May 19, 2018 Doing anything in what sense? Because I know there are abilities that prevent the use of certain types of magic, and abilities that prevent movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trip 10 Posted May 19, 2018 Specifically the Mind Control. And by Anything I mean you don't get a turn. Just because you can't use a certain ability doesn't mean you have other options to use that turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juniperselkie 4 Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) I mean, could limit it to use on npcs, or just not add it. Like I said, these were 4am ideas lol Only reason I included it is cuz shadow/void stuff is supposed to be big on mental stuff, and mind control was a big aspect of the shadow priest back in the day. Not sure if it still is. Edited May 19, 2018 by juniperselkie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ram3n 5 Posted May 20, 2018 18/0: Mirror Image Summons an illusory copy of yourself which deals [Willpower * 3.0] damage, every turn for 5 turns. A few notes: The copy spawned should have low enough health that they can be destroyed with 1-2 attacks, maybe 100 HP? The copy spawned should attack only targets that you have attacked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Game mechanics should not give any RPG advantages. And being able to run faster than people is an RPG advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
