King

Dark element monster with below 100 resists.
MRM is fairly low and has a focus on Melee.

Effect: Effect Copier. Whenever the King is affected by any harmful effect, the player immediately makes a save. If the player fails, the same affect in inflicted on the player.

Effect: Harm Transferal. All King's attacks attempt to inflict King's Touch. When the player is inflicted with King's Touch, all attacks against King deal 0 damage to the monster and full damage to the player for one turn.

Stats: Maxed out Str and End.

Appearance: A tall and broad-shouldered blond man.
Description: The founder of Slaughterhouse Nine is rough, tough and capable of transferring any damage from himself onto his enemies.

An idea from the original Werepyre hideout (which is a canon strategy that the player has used!)

Play Dead

When you are done with Readying your Inventory, you can click Start Battle. I suggest putting a second button there: Play Dead.

This is a cha/luck vs int/luck stat roll, where the monster gets +20 to save.

If you win, you get to skip the battle (winning, but not getting gold or exp rewards).

If you loose, the monster automatically wins initiative (because you're in no position to fight).

I have a feeling it would be rather popular for long quests.

A gameplay suggestion to make the backgrounds more interesting. This would make them more fun to play in and give future armors/miscs new and interesting MCs (ex. Deep Diver - underwater combat doesn't inflict Low Visibility on you) rather than rehashing old stuff.

Terrain

Make the background terrain actually have an effect on the player. The terrain automatically inflicts several conditions at the beginning of the battle and they last until the end of the battle (and get re-inflicted if somehow cured). Monsters are not affected by this due to being natural terrain inhabitants. Here are some examples that I could think of:

Mountains

- Thin Air. The oxygen deficiency at high altitudes leaves you dizzy and tired, reducing your effectiveness. Inflicts Choked.

- Decreased Air Pressure. Changes in air pressure cause headaches and nausea, leaving you dazed and short of breath. Inflicts Dazed.

- Uneven Terrain. You have to watch your footing to avoid slipping on some loose gravel. Inflicts Offbalanced.

Underwater

- Low Visibility. The sun's rays can't reach so far below the water, leaving you in semi-darkness. Inflicts Blind.

- Difference in Density. You're used to a different environment, leaving you just a little too slow to respond in combat. Inflicts Defence Loss.

- Conductivity. Water conducts heat around 25 times more efficiently than air. All player attacks with ice or fire deal % of damage to the player.

Underground / Caves

- Travel Expenses. The sun's rays can't reach underground, leaving you with no natural source of light. Pay a small gold cost at the beginning of each round for torch fuel.

- Natural Gases. Try not to get yourself blown up, eh? Inflicts Explosive Environment on the player. Any fire attack made by the player has a chance of blowing up and dealing high damage to both the player and the monster.

- Self-Restraint. Power down your AoE blasts to avoid cave-ins. All spells deal decreased damage.

Desert

- Sun and Sand. You can only do so much to protect yourself from the blinding rays of the sun or sand flying into your eyes. Inflicts Blind.

- Unbearable Heat. It leaves you sweaty and constantly tired. Reduces the effectiveness of healing and inflicts Disease (sp) at the beginning of every round.

Northlands

- Subzero Temperatures. It's cold and freezing out there. Gives Status Weakness (-10 to saves against paralyzed and frozen).

- Unbearable Cold. It leaves you shivering and constantly tired. Reduces the effectiveness of healing and inflicts Disease (sp) at the beginning of every round.

Volcano

- Burning Lava. It's literally burning, what did else you expect? Inflicts fire element Burn.

- Volcanic Gases. This can't be good for your health. Inflicts harm element Poison.

Forest

- Ambushed! Forests have lots of cover, allowing monsters to ambush you with great ease. Inflicts Initiative Penalty (-105).

- Forest Fires. Try not to start them, eh? Inflicts Flammable Environment on the player. Any fire attack made by the player has a chance to start a Forest Fire (attempts to inflict fire element Burn on both the player and the monster that lasts until the end of the battle).

Town

- Self-Restraint. Power down your AoE blasts to avoid civilian casualties. All spells deal decreased damage.

- Combat Expenses. Two words: collateral damage. All player attacks have a gold cost based on damage dealt.

- Ambushed! Towns have lots of cover, allowing monsters to ambush you with great ease. Inflicts Intiative Penalty (-105).

Ruins

- Ambushed! Ruins have lots of cover, allowing monsters to ambush you with great ease. Inflicts Intiative Penalty (-105).

- Uneven Terrain. You have to watch your footing to avoid slipping on some loose gravel. Inflicts Offbalanced.

Graveyard

- Necrotic Aura. Come on, you know fighting undead in a graveyard isn't very smart. Player takes extra damage from Undead.

- Playing Dead. Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish between the un-dead and the truly dead. Inflicts Intiative Penalty (-105) if fighting Undead.

- Bump in the Night. From ghoulies and ghosties / And long-leggedy beasties... Inflicts Fear.

Darkness magic hammer

Description: This ballista is large and unwieldy - but that's not much of a problem against giant reptiles. And it certainly packs quite a punch!

Spellblade

Melee energy sword
0-proc, so *1.08 damage

Effect: Spell Infusion. Click on any spell in your spell slots to infuse it into your blade. This deals no damage and the spell has no other effects; this ends your turn. On your next turn the spell is infused into the blade and your attack unleashes it - you cast the spell at no mp/sp cost and it counts as a regular weapon attack. (2 melee turns are worth 200%)

Note: This also leaves the blade uninfused. You now have to choose another spell (or the same one) that you spend a turn infusing.

Appearance: Long and slender akin to rapier.
Description: This sword has neither blade nor a sharp point. How do you use it again?

Master Wand

Technically, 100-proc neutral magic wand

Effect: When you cast a spell with the Master Wand equipped, that spell becomes imprinted unto the arcane fabric of the Wand. Until the end of the battle or until you cast a different spell, the wand's attack is that spell, except it uses 100% sp of a magic skill to pay for the spell instead of mp.

Note: Attempting to attack without a spell imprinted or when you lack sp would give out an error message and not cost you a turn.

Appearance: Finely crafted wooden wand with a gemstone in the handle. The gem glows the color of the imprinted spell's element.
Description: For we have transcended the petty standards of limited spell use...
