Artifact & Ego ideas

[shooth]

<footwear> of SuperPosition
+10 resist time
While wearing the footwear, has the following affect:
Movement in any direction may cause (say 1/5 chance?) the wearer to "phase" an additional step or two in the same (general) direction.

[Hedrachi]

amulet, cloak, or body armor of projectile defense
12.5% chance when hit by a projectile, to increase ranged defense by 1000 for 4+material level turns (or to do some other thing which effectively tells all projectiles to ignore you for 4+ turns)

[lukep]

Greater Ego "Cloak of Invisibility" arcane powered
+5 stealth, +3 infravision, -2 light radius, Activates for Invisibility (power 8 duration 10) costing 100 power out of 100/100

Could also be a ring

Greater Ego/Artifact Shield "Black Shield" ??? powered
Grants an antimagic shield of power (10-15?), -(2-3) mana per turn.

Mana drain instead of arcane disrupting because it can then be used by non-antimagic characters, while still being detrimental to mages.

[Miruko]

Spirit Guardian: an artifact shield with a damage absorbing effect, like "on hit: X damage absorbed over 5 turns", like an automatic shield rune, with his own cooldown. Maybe the possibility to inscribe directly with the favourite shield rune. Also, ever thought about socketed items out of only jewels?

[tiger_eye]

"Rune of Greater Aptitude" artifact: Permanently increase maximum talent level by one for all talents. This cannot be undone, so it permanently uses one inscription slot. For example, this will let you invest a max of 6 (or 11) talent points in a talent instead of the previous max of 5 (or 10).

[lukep]

(weapon) of deceptive skill
10% chance to switch any normal attack for one of the following at 0 cost, level 1, and not resetting their cooldowns:

Universal: Perfect Strike (before attacking),
Any melee: Bleeding Edge, Weapon of Light,
If it is 2 handed: Stunning Blow, Sunder Arms, Sunder Armor, or Death Blow.
If you are dual wielding: Dual Strike or Flurry
If using a shield: Overpower, Assault
If it's a Bow: Piercing Arrow, Dual Arrows, Steady shot, Crippling shot, Pinning shot
If it's a sling: Eye Shot, Inertial Shot, Steady shot, Crippling shot, Pinning shot

Maybe add a few more skills from categories other than Techniques, such as Cursed talents for axes, or Psi talents.

[Grey]

For alchemists that like to make use of the staff combat tree:

Code: Select all

newEntity{ base = "BASE_STAFF",
	power_source = {arcane=true},
	unique = true,
	name = "Bolbum's Big Knocker",
	unided_name = "thick staff",
	level_range = {20, 35},
	color=colors.UMBER,
	rarity = 220,
	desc = [[A thick staff with a heavy knob on the end.  It was said to be used by the grand alchemist Bolbum in the Age of Allure.  Much renowned is the fear of his students for their master, and the high rate of cranial injuries amongst them.  Bolbum died with seven daggers in his back and his much-cursed staff went missing after.]],
	cost = 300,
	material_level = 4,

	require = { stat = { mag=38 }, },
	combat = {
		dam = 64,
		apr = 6,
		atk = 7,
		dammod = {mag=1.4},
		damtype = DamageType.PHYSICAL,
	},
	wielder = {
		combat_spellpower = 6,
		combat_spellcrit = 13,
		inc_damage={
			[DamageType.PHYSICAL] = resolvers.mbonus(20, 8),
		},
		talents_types_mastery = {
			["spells/staff-combat"] = 0.2,
		}
	},
}

To add to world-artifacts-far-east.lua:

Code: Select all

newEntity{ base = "BASE_GEM",
	power_source = {arcane=true},
	unique = true,
	unided_name = "unearthly black stone",
	name = "Goedalath Rock", subtype = "black",
	color = colors.PURPLE, image="object/onyx.png",
	level_range = {35, 45},
	desc = [[A small rock that seems from beyond this world, vibrating with a fierce energy.  It feels warped and terrible and evil... and yet oh so powerful.]],
	rarity = 300,
	cost = 100,
	material_level = 5,
	carrier = {
		on_melee_hit={[DamageType.DARKNESS] = -17]},
		lite = -2,
		combat_mentalresist = -18,
		healing_factor = -0.5,
	},
	imbue_powers = {
		combat_physpower = 12,
		combat_spellpower = 16,
		see_invisible = 14,
		infravision = 3,
		inc_damage = {all=9},
		inc_damage_type = {demon=20},
		esp = {["demon/major"]=1, ["demon/minor"]=1},
		on_melee_hit={[DamageType.DARKNESS] = 34]},
		healing_factor = 0.5,
	},
}

Idea is it has some penalties when simply carried, so if the player wants to enjoy its powers then he/she must put up with the penalties until it can be imbued.

[darkgod]

Woh that's one hell of a powerful imbue!

Oh and what is

Code: Select all

      on_melee_hit={[DamageType.DARKNESS] = -17]},

Supposed to achieve ?

[Grey]

Things attacking you in melee get dark healing? Not sure if that would work :P

Also some of the imbue stuff is to counter the negative stuff, which as far as I know sticks around after imbuing?

[darkgod]

Ah nope, but DamageType.HEAL will

[Grey]

Ah, that'd do the trick then. If using that then take off the on_melee_hit from the imbue and maybe tone down some stats to your liking. It's designed as east-only though, and some of its powers have very specific applications, and it still carries serious penalties, so overall I don't think it's too imbalanced.

[Postman]

Greater weapon ego "Celerity". Switching weapon with x take no time. Example "Celerity bow of speed"
