Artifact & Ego ideas

[teachu2die]

scrolls/staves of 'genocide' were changed to 'banishment' in vanilla and recent variants. i suspect there were a few good reasons for this....

[Burb Lulls]

I think it would be interesting to have gems that power the existing artifacts (that alchemists can extract)

the gems probably would be less powerful than the artifacts, but it would make extracting gems from artifacts more interesting.

Light Armor Only Greater Ego

Code: Select all

newEntity{
	name = "nimble", prefix=true, instant_resolve=true,
	level_range = {15, 50},
	greater_ego = true,
	rarity = 18,
	cost = 35,
	wielder = {
		combat_def_ranged = resolvers.mbonus_material(8, 2, function(e, v) return v * 1 end),
		movement_speed = -0.1,
		[Stats.STAT_DEX] = resolvers.mbonus_material(5, 2, function(e, v) return v * 3 end),
		},
}

[Final Master]

Code: Select all

newEntity{ base = "BASE_LIGHT_ARMOR",
	unique = true,
	name = "Behemoth Hide",
	unided_name = "tough weathered hide",
	desc = [[A rough hide made from a massive beast.  Seeing as it's so weathered but useable, maybe it's a bit special...]],
	color = colors.BROWN,
	level_range = {10, 35},
	rarity = 150,
	require = { stat = { str=18 }, },
	cost = 250,
	material_level = 3,
	wielder = {
			inc_stats = { [Stats.STAT_STR] = 2, [Stats.STAT_CON] = 2 },
		combat_def = 4,
		combat_armor = 6,
		combat_def_ranged = 8,
		max_encumber = 20,
		life_regen = 5,
		stamina_regen = 5,
		fatigue = 10,
		max_stamina = 50,
		max_life = 50,
		knockback_immune = 0.1,
		size_category = 1,		
	},
}

I'm thinking this may be pretty decent for hopefully either Berserkers or Wyrmics... Also, I currently implemented it, and found it with a dwarf. That's right, I'm a Big Dwarf Fighter now. lol

... of Self-Sacrifice

The basic idea behind this is, that the Armor does damage to the player on each hit, and uses this 'sacrifice' to boost the Players main recource (Stamina for Warriors, Mana for Mages, Vim for Reavers, etc... possibly only a subset: no Equilibrium, no positive Energy.).

rng should try to pair this with mage-egos on heavy and massive armors first, other pairings less common.

Question: should this rather count as curse?

Not sure about coding this. I'm happy to be able to understand half of the code I read...

-sorry if I got my lore wrong, make corrections if necessary :wink:

Well, since the lore is all changing away from Middle-Earth you might want to think up a new name for it :P "Courage of Tolkor" perhaps.

Rod of Phasing
Costs 50/50 power.
Allows you to target a tile directly beneath you or adjacent to you. The targetted tile will have a phasing rune inscribed on it. Stepping on the phasing rune causes a phase door effect. If cast directly beneath you, the effect is immediate and equivalent to simply reading a phase door scroll. If cast directly beneath an adjacent monster, the effect is also immediate and equivalent to casting phase door on it. The rune lasts for a single cast, then disappears.

A weak teleport other, yet the tactical implications are impressive. I expect all sorts of creative applications to surface.

Rod of Returning
Costs 50/50 power.
Allows you to target a tile directly beneath you or adjacent to you. The targetted tile will have a returning rune inscribed on it. The rune has no effect when stepped on, but when any teleportation of any type occurs within X squares of it, the teleporting player/monster/object appears on the returning rune. The rune lasts for a single teleport, then disappears. Only one returning rune may be active at a time.

Another toy with huge tactical potential, especially when combined with the Rod of Phasing. You could really screw with the bad guys using these.

Scrolls that duplicate these effects would also be fun.
