Beholder race/classes

[ajfluffy]

Suggestion 1 I can do quite easily. Suggestion 2 makes quite a bit of sense. I did want to force the player to use them strategically but maybe I was punishing them too much.

[queebles]

beholders are evidently copyrighted, Wizards of the Coast considers beholders part of their 'product identity'

[Zonk]

By the way, something about eye saturation...you could also make each eye have its own saturation/draining effect. That does add more effects to keep track off, but still think it would be nice.

[ajfluffy]

That would make managing the debuff rather trival. Will release some stuff tomorrow that should make the beginning a bit more interesting

You can also buy staff combat and use channel staff if you are really having trouble with the cooldowns.

[rexorcorum]

How about this for an idea; Theme them as Chronomantic creatures that watch history from beyond space-time(Watchers?). They come into this universe when they sense major space/time distortions and events that could upset the future

This is a more pleasing idea - the beholders/watchers as angelic creatures of sorts, only a bit on the chtulhian side . Anyhow, we have agreed with ajfluffy first to finalize the addon with all subspecies and then to brainstorm its lore/copyright fundamentals.

The tiles look very nice and really contribute to the feeling of the whole thing.

Well, thank you, good Captain

[ajfluffy]

new addon version uploaded.

scaled down the model and added a new artifact on birth (mind you I have not tested it with all the unique gems so your mileage my vary )

will fix issue with lightning as I forgot until just now....

EDIT: ok small issue with stats apparently, fixed that so hopefully working now!

[spiralrazor]

How do you account for the central eys anti-magic ray cone? and the bite attack?

[ajfluffy]

Bite on my Todo list. Anti magic cone works via central eye talents. You can only Target in cardinal directions.

Edit: have not added escorts... I keep forgetting

[Sradac]

can we get some kind of information on Growth? I have no idea what it does besides make me "better". I don't know how much growth I currently have, how much I need, what stage I am, what each form actually does for me, etc.

[ajfluffy]

Look at quest

Maybe I should put notes giving future benefits. Growths gives additional trees and stuff.

[Sradac]

also looks like lightning burst is broken. It will always activate, even when I well overkill an enemy

[Sradac]

also uh...with lightning burst my lightning eye now has unlimited range. It will show as only having 6 tiles blue, but I can easily shoot something 10 tiles away

[ajfluffy]

Yeah... Forgot to call can_project. I have fixed version and will release tomorrow. How u like the ring

Edit: for now, enjoy the overpowered lightning eye heh

[Sradac]

ring is cool, I see myself never taking this off.

Did you consider belts by chance? Having a crapload of rings is cool, but im pretty sure I could fit a belt around one of my tentacles or eyestalks as well

[ajfluffy]

Haha yes actually I have

Edit: yeah, if you think its overpowered well not sure what to say there it is basically just a bit stronger than a base ring that's imbued.
