ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Unnatural Body: Your affliction distorts your being but is suppressed by your hatred, making healing between 50%(at 0 hate) and 100% effective(at 100 hate). Additionally, your pain and wounds are glazed over as the affliction twists your body. For each 1 point of hate lost to hate decay, you are healed by X% of your maximum life. This amount is not affected by healing modifier.

Replacement for Seethe: You have learned to push not only through your affliction, but beyond it. Increase global speed by 1% for each point of hate you have over X.

Replacement for Grim Resolve: Your will to overcome the suffering within also lets you overcome the suffering without. All incoming damage has a chance equal to the percent of your missing life to be reduced by X% of your current hate.

yeah I'm about 80% sure the healmod drop is from hate trying to absorb that heal energy or the affliction making your life force weaken and strengthen with hate rather than any kind of distortion.

okay one recommendation I have for this is to make sure these ability's scale past 100 so that max hate boosting items are useful.

okay seethe combined with rampage would be pretty insane and a rampage, seethe, unarmed adventurer would kill everything before it even took a turn so this may not bee the best idea.

and with dropping grim resolves status recovery the tree is a bit more status weak and the proposed replacement could be very over powered especially with negative health items/effects and how would this work with hate greater than 100 would the attack heal?

max hate boosting items are useful anyway because not only does make it take longer for your hate to decay but it also means that you have 100 or more hate for longer, and during that time you'll have max healmod
not to mention you have more hate to spend before you run out of it

I like that thematically this tree becomes about "keep hate high and good things will come to you"

Gameplay wise this is nice on Cursed but less useful on Doomed, but then so are the current talents. And it's not like they need places to spend their generics in.

Pretty interesting all in all.
