New artefact, "Painball" mostly for laughs

#1 Post by martinuzz »

"This artefact looks like a perfectly round, shiny metal ball, about the size of a halfling's eye"

Item type: Charm
powered by: psionic forces

When carried:
- on hit (melee): damage conversion 25% gravity, 25% temporal
- when hit (melee): has a chance to daze the assailant. Chance increases with Mindpower
- any creature that is smaller in size than the wielder of Painball is drawn towards the wielder at 2 tiles / turn.
- any creature that has greater size than the wielder of Painball attracts the wielder to it at 1 tile/turn.
-every creature moved by Painball reduces it's cooldown by 1

On use:
- cooldown: semi-high
- propels all creatures of smaller size away from the wielder for x tiles, x increases with Mindpower. When a creature that is propelled away bumps into another creature of equal or smaller size, momentum is transferred to that creature, while the first collider is dazed. Wen a creature bumps into a wall, it reverses direction for the remainder of x.
- any dazed creature hit by a propelled creature takes 50% of it's max HP gravity damage, while the propelled creature itself takes equal temporal damage.

That sounds really cool.

You know what else would be really cool? If you could shoot it from a sling. And it would bounce.
