ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

i like the idea of a class which has life as costs so replenishing it, spending it .. a few talents deal with this: adrenaline surge, and a reaver one to pay with life for vim, but i was thinking of a whole class (maybe necro, maybe another) based on life as a cost would be interesting.

Could be life+magic as cost to activate an ability.

see my post, although not cast with life directly, but the idea is similar.

Doesn't this more or less describe Solipsists?

I've done this with my Corrupted Elementist.

Annoyingly you need to overwrite a few functions in Actor to do it.

Can't some of the Vim classes do that too?

No class can use life as a resource, the code doesn't support it.

That strikes me as a strange thing to say. Code doesn't support a lot of stuff; that's why add-ons change the code.

It'd probably be hell on the AI.

BDota's Faeros raceclass does exactly this (I think)
