Spell / Phantasm re-work

Code: Select all

newTalent{
	name = "Shadowstrike",
	type = {"cunning/stealth", 2},
	require = cuns_req2,
	mode = "passive",
	points = 5,
	getMultiplier = function(self, t) return self:getTalentLevel(t) / 7 end,
	info = function(self, t)
		local multiplier = t.getMultiplier(self, t)
		return ([[When striking from stealth, hits are automatically criticals if the target does not notice you just before you land the blow.
		Shadowstrikes do +%.02f%% damage versus a normal critical hit. Ranged attacks have this bonus reduced by 10%% per square.]]):
		format(multiplier * 100)
	end,
}

That won't run.

So it still does the same damage as a normal critical Illuminate?
Is that enough of a change?

[[When striking from stealth, hits are automatically criticals if the target does not notice you just before you land the blow.

Looks plenty clear to me.

Maybe say "ranged attacks, mind powers and spells" just to be totally unambiguous, since we have some rather nit-picky players.

Another way to put it (assuming we want the bonus to critical chance to also decrease with range) for Shadowstrike:

Code: Select all

[[When striking from stealth, your hits gain an additional 100%% chance to be criticals and %0.02f%% critical multiplier if the target fails a check to notice you just before you land the blow.  These bonuses apply to physical, spell, and mind attacks in melee and at ranged, but are reduced by 10% per grid beyond range 1.]]

and for Lethality:

Code: Select all

[[You have learned to find and hit weak spots. All of your attacks (including melee strikes, spells, and mind powers) have a %0.2f%% greater chance to be critical hits, and your critical hits gain a %0.2f%% bonus to their critical multiplier.  Hitting vulnerable spots is more difficult at range, though, and you lose 10%% of these bonuses for each grid beyond range 1.
		Also, when using knives, you now use your Cunning instead of your Strength for bonus damage.]]
