Liches

[Goblinz]

Well as one of my impulse creations I made a lich race. currently the talents aren't balanced but should be okay. I was considering to make liches a race class but here are liches with a single talent tree. If you have suggestions to swap out talents or add more trees they would be welcome. If people are receptive to the idea I may make a high undead starting zone instead of the blighted ruins.

This doesn't seem right?

Code: Select all

newTalent{
	name = "raise the dead",
	type = {"undead/lich", 4},
	require = racial_req4,
	mode = "sustained",
	points = 5,
	no_energy = true,
	sustain_vim = 60,
	sustain_mana = 100,
	cooldown = function(self, t) return 50 - self:getTalentLevel(t) * 3 end,
	no_npc_use = true,
	activate = function(self, t)
	game:playSoundNear(self, "talents/spell_generic2")
		local ret = {
			particle = self:addParticles(Particles.new("darkness_shield", 1))
		}
		return ret
	end,
	deactivate = function(self, t, p)
		self:removeParticles(p.particle)
		return true
	end,
	info = function(self, t)
		return ([[Reach through the collective psionic gestalt of the yeeks, the Way, to call for immediate help.
		Summons up to 3 yeek mindslayers to your side.]])
	end,
}

whoops forgot to change the description. the talent will take any non boss creature you kill and raise it for t level + 5 turns (cost 10 vim and 30 mana per kill)

I don't know if you are on a different platform than I am, but here are some problems I had before I could try this.
1. the Tome/Data/Birth/Race/undead.lua in the zip file should be tome/Data/Birth/Races/undead.lua
2. the Tome/Data/Talents/undead/lich.lua should be Tome/Data/Talents/Undeads/lich.lua
3. In Tome /Data/Talents/Undeads/undeads.lua is missing the line "load("/data/talents/undeads/lich.lua")" on line 46.

I haven't started a character with it yet, I felt I should post what I needed to do to get it to show up in the character gen while it was still fresh in my mind.

Edit*
Ps. I am on the Windows w/ music version.

Edit2*
Magic power adds an active skill that gives a lua error when activated. I presume it was meant to be a passive.
