New Class idea: Priest

Sanity?

I assume you are going to calculate that off willpower, etc...

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

Of course, you'd have to put in more ways of regenerating Sanity. Maybe that could be a mindcrafter only type of thing. Mindcrafters can slowly regenerate Sanity like they do health or magic.

[darkgod]

I was more thinking of them like mind-vampires.
Restoring sanity with time just makes it an other mana bar, I think for diversity sake it could be fun to have it not regen but instead it can be filled up by draining the mental energies of your foes

[madmonk]

I agree, I didn't want just another Mage type, so leeching someone else's Sanity is great!

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

Oh, dude, that would rock my face.

[darkgod]

Ok then I suppose we are in for the mind-vampires

[Shoob]

hehehe...

talent:

mind-battle/duel:

When applied to a monster, you and they take part in seeing who is more mentally capable. The loser gets sapped of sanity. Warning, high level monsters can resist and even kill you as you leave your mind open to them. Mindless beings are immune to this.

I would think that you and the monster get a roll and the difference between the two is applied as sanity drain/gain, and some of that is applied as damage as well.

as you increase it, your rolls will get better. and high willpower/cunning and lvl also increases rolls.
