Costs mp of a standard spell, and you gain an extra stack of Channeling.


Level 2: Dracomancer's Bonds - Passive
As a student, you struggled to reconsile the peaceful nature of your companion bond with the untamed connection to a maelstrom of wild magic raging inside you. As a dracomancer, the understanding comes naturally.

If you have any draconic pet or guest out when you cast a spell, you loose 2.5% melee sp, and your pet and guest gain a round of celerity. (no save)

Costs mp of a standard skill, and you gain an extra stack of Channeling.

Afterwards, you summon an mp-costing Dragon Clutch guest (looks like a bunch of dragon hatchlings). It attacks with a random element (among the 8 standard ones) and deals *132/109 damage to compensate. The guest is summoned with 3 charges, but looses 1 each round;* while it has at least one charge, the guest deals double damage. Casting the spell again adds 3 more charges.

Primate Murder -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (10/11/2018 11:41:31)

I've been thinking about this for a while. Trying something new here. Instead of skills and maxed out damage, human subrace armor is a return to the basics, emphasizing utility, versatility and survival. Usable by any build.

To compensate for the fact that human subrace requires no quests, as well as due to being thematically appropriate, this armor requires you to level up different classes. You gain the scaled no-drop armor when you reach level 10 in fighter, rogue, mage and scholar classes, but can only use the level 0 ability. You gain one level of armor every time you level one of the tier 2 classes to 5, as there are conveniently 10 of those classes.


Traveler's Garb
Human subrace armor.

Neutral lean armor, element follows your Clan (or neutral if clanless)
MRM are average
3 hit basic attack

Requirements: level 10 fighter, scholar, rogue and mage; as well as level 5 Beastmaster, Berserker, Dracomancer, Dragonslayer, Knight, Martial Artist, Ninja, Pirate, Wizard and Shadowslayer/Nighthunter.

Appearance: A chainmail underneath a worn cloak with a togglable hood (uses no-drop colors). There's also a quiver of arrows on the back, a double scabbard with a sword and a magical rod on the belt, and a set of potions on a harness diagonally crossing the chest. Attack is a strike with a fireball, followed by a weapon slash, followed by a crossbow bolt from the shield arm as you retreat.
Description: You've been there and done that. This armor is only usable by players that have properly unlocked it by traveling across all of Lore.


Level 0: Mastery of the Craft - Active

Aspect of Salvation - cure yourself of one hostile status condition. If you're affected by several, cure the strongest one.

A beastmaster class designed to maximize the damage dealt by your pets and guests. Inspired by the Chessmaster Saga.


Master of Chess
PO ice class armor.

PO lean: Pest offensive. You deal 1x damage and receive 1.25x damage. Your pets and guests deal 1.25x damage.

Primate Murder -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (10/11/2018 16:32:07)

My first attempt at a combo-based class.

As with the original, I'm doing a White Gi armor with the generic 5 skills, and four specialized armors with the other 5.


White Gi
Martial Artist class armor

FO neutral element armor
High MRM with a focus on Melee.
Attack:

- Unarmed Combat. When wielding a Fist or a weapon associated with your School, your basic attack is 3 hits of 25% melee each with a subsequent 50/50 (Str vs End) save; on success, make 2 more hits.

- Untrained Attack. When wielding any other weapon, your attack is a single hit with -5% damage penalty.

Appearance: Similar, if slightly taller.
Description: Begin your study of martial arts with the Crouching Frogzard Style, a beginner's set of offensive and defensive moves for every situation.


Level 0: School of Combat - Passive

Each armor has a different stance, one you enter when using a Fist or a School Weapon.

White Gi: Crouching Frogzard Stance. A versatile stance that uses your lack of heavy armor or large weapons to strike and evade blows with increased ease.

Extra School Weapon: Claw.

- Gain +3 MRM and +6.375 bth. (calc: passive + player-controlled trigger)

In addition, all Schools of Combat can use Combos. After using a Basic Strike, for one round any Basic Strike instead becomes a Combo Strike, dealing different damage and effect. Combo Strikes are not counted as Basic Strikes, so using one resets the Combo.


Level 1: Basic Strike: Punch - Active
Launch a sharp punch at your foe's head.

Costs 25% melee sp.

A basic attack at +5 bth lean with +25% LS rate.

Dragon's Breath Stance: Instead of boosted LS rate, your punches grant you +25 Status Potence for 1 round.

- Punch-Palm (Solar Plexus Combo): Attack deals 75% melee to both hp and sp, and inflicts Winded (renamed Disease; affects sp, power = 3x sp damage dealt). Monster can resist (Str vs End) with -6 penalty to save.


Level 2: Basic Strike: Kick - Active
Deliver a powerful kick to your foe's misection or thigh.

Costs 50% melee sp.

1.5x damage basic attack at -5 bth lean.

- Kick-Kick (Groin Kick Combo): Attack deals 75% melee and inflicts Pained (renamed Paralysis) for 1 round. Monster can resist (Str vs Dex) with -13 penalty to save.

- Kick-Palm (Firm Stance Combo): Attack deals 75% melee and grants you Stability. Next time you're affected by an immobilizing status, you automatically break free; doing so removes the Stability status.


Level 3: Basic Strike: Palm Strike - Active
Breathe in, breathe out and release an open-hand attack at your foe's torso.

Costs 75% melee sp.

A basic attack that gives you Centered status - around a toggle's worth of Str and Dex each (+50 at lvl 150) for 4 rounds.

Dragon's Breath Stance: Gain Str + Int instead.

- Palm-Punch (Ear Clap Combo): Attack deals 35.75% melee and inflicts Concussion (renamed Mindlock) for 3 turns. Monster can shrug off the effect (Dex vs End) with -20 penalty to save.

Level 4: Counterattack - Passive
Deliver a blindingly-fast counterattack whenever you dodge your opponent's blow.

If you blocked at least one strike, then do a hit of damage worth (HitsBlocked/Attempted * 33)% damage of a standard player attack. This is considered a weapon-based attack, it follows the element of your weapon and applies all weapon-based effects. It can be dodged.


Level 5: Focus - Active
Concentrate all of your martial skill to deliver an extra attack against your foe!

Quickcast, 1/battle. Pay 50% melee in sp and gain one round of celerity.

Gogg Claw Stance: The cost is reduced to 30% melee.


Swift Talon Gi

FO energy armor with an ice secondary
Slightly above average MRM.
Attack:

Primate Murder -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (11/14/2018 1:44:19)

My idea for a ninja class is one that emphasizes both efficiency and a dynamic, unpredictable combat. Attack flows into defense and defense is indistinguishable from attack, leaving all of the abilities fairly synergetic with each other. The ninja class does not have any direct offensive skills and its toggles are fairly low-cost, but the overall result should be dealing a fair amount of damage, while enjoying a pretty high blocking defense.


Shinobi Shozoku
Ninja class armor.

FO wind, neutral to dark and earth.
High MRM with a slight focus on Ranged.
Single hit attack, no bth lean.

Appearance: Slightly closer to its dragonfable analog.
Description: A light armor, well-suited for stealth if not for protection. Wear it to train in the ways of the ninja, using a variety of exotic tools and esoteric techniques to take down your foe. As a shinobi, you're no honorable samurai, and no trick is too dirty – you're unafraid to use sabotage, espionage, stealth tactics and even psychological warfare to accomplish your goal.


Level 0: Merciless - Passive
Ninja are warriors of shadow. Ill suited for direct combat, they excel at striking against foes that are unable to locate them.

Take +15/1.4% damage from monster attacks, but gain +40% Lucky Strike rate against Blind monsters (for a total of 50% LS rate).


Level 1: Shuriken - Toggle
Prepare a handful of razor-sharp projectiles, launching them whenever your foe presents an opening!

At the beginning of your turn, if you blocked at least 1 hit, you make an attack worth (100*HitsBlocked)% melee. This is considered a weapon attack (to take advantage of the armor lean), follows your weapon element and type, but does not apply any of your weapon's effects.

Costs 15% melee sp each turn, plus an additional 50% melee for each Shuriken thrown.


Level 2: Shurikenjutsu - Toggle
Draw upon a variety of techniques you learned at the Temple to wield your Shuriken with increased skill!

Toggle between 3 passives:

- Reduce the sp cost of each Shuriken to 33.33% sp (from 50%).*

- After each Shuriken, the monster makes a save (Dex/Luck vs Dex/Luck) with +0 bonus. On fail, it's randomly inflicted with either Bleed (0.17 Power) or a 2-turn Blind (-10 bth).**

- Take additional +15/1.4% more damage from monster attacks, and make a save (Dex/Luck vs Dex/Luck, +0 bonus) each time you throw a shuriken. On success, the Shuriken attack is a Lucky Strike.***

Popups:
*Focus your attention on the proper technique, reducing the amount of skill required to launch each shuriken!
**Throw your shuriken at your opponent's face! Either they will shield it with their arms and be left bleeding, or you'll manage to hit their face and leave blood flowing into their eyes!
***Leave yourself open to attack, sacrificing your health for a chance to land a critical hit with your shuriken!



Level 3: Kawarimi - Passive
A ninja who runs away is a ninja who can try again! Utilize an ancient shinobi art, using the split second after a lucky strike to prepare a magical dummy that can replace you whenever your enemy tries to stop you in your tracks.

Gain 1 Dummy whenever you land a Lucky Strike. Dummies can stack, but reset back to 0 at the end of the battle.

Whenever the monster attempts to inflict you with an immobilizing status (daze, fear, freeze, hypersalinate, paralyse, petrify, sleep, thermal shock), you loose 1 Dummy and automatically break free.


Level 4: Smoke Bomb - Active
A Smoke Bomb is a staple of any ninja's arsenal, perfect for escaping from an enemy's attack.

Quickcast, 1/turn. Inflict Blind (-20 bth) for 3 rounds. Monster can resist (Dex/Luck vs Dex/Luck) with +0 bonus to save.

Costs 50% melee sp.


Level 5: Dragon Double - Active
Use the secret technique of shinobi to create a life-like clone of yourself, capable of following your attacks and even confusing the enemy as to which one is the real you!

Summons an sp-costing guest that looks exactly like you with the following features:

- Instead of regular guest damage, it deals 9 * (1 + YourCha/VStat)% of the damage you dealt this turn, following your weapon element. (calc: 30*0.6)

- Gives you +8.1 * (1 + YourCha/VStat) MRM for one round. (calc: 18*0.9)


Level 6: Shinobi Shadow Gambit - Active
Take a calculated risk, sacrificing a portion of your life force to the Realm of Darkness in return for a chance to gain vitality and spiritual energy should your skill be enough to land a critical blow!

Quickcast, 1/turn. For one round, whenever you land a Lucky Strike, you heal hp worth 2x LS damage and sp worth 2.25x LS damage.

Costs 2% MaxHP. (calc: 40/2000)

Cry out in the voice of your foe's comrade, making them wonder if it's their friend under the mask and leaving them vulnerable to being backstabbed!

Deal *(1 + HitsBlocked*1.67) LS damage for one round if you blocked at least one hit.


Level 9: Ninjutsu - Toggle
Never start a fair fight.

Toggle between 3 passives:

- Gain MRM equal to 25% of the bth lost by a Blind monster.`

- At the end of each turn, if the monster is Blind, you have a 20% chance to make a save (Dex/Luck vs Dex/Luck) with +0 bonus. On success, you gain celerity.``

- Triple the LS damage bonus from Lethal Bluff when the monster is Blind.```

Popups:
`Your movement mimics nature and your steps are soundless, allowing you to remain unnoticed whenever your foe can no longer rely on their sight.
``Your enemy looses track of you, giving you a chance to strike again!
```Your skill at espionage allows you to imitate voices with a greater degree of accuracy when your foe cannot see you, leaving them that much more hurt by your betrayal.



Level 10: Hiden: Shadow Transformation Technique - Toggle
A forbidden technique that can draw upon the Darkness Realm to transform you into an insubstantial shadow, nearly invulnerable to physical attacks and able to slide past any defenses. One should be wary though, for such power can never come freely – and there's a reason the technique has been forbidden/

Gain +30 MRM, and all your weapon attacks and specials auto-hit.

At the end of your turn, you have a 40% chance to loose 10% MaxHP.

Description: You've had a long night. Is this monster really worth staying awake for?




Primate Murder -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/20/2018 14:24:43)

The knight is meant to be a defensive warrior class, one that uses low-proc weapons and low-cost sp skills. Strength and Dexterity are all but required, and the four variants focus on the stats that you want to finish up your build with. Granemor is the most defensive of the four kingdoms, to reflect its frontliner status, and uses Int to fuel its dark magic. Frogzard knights are more versatile and have several offensive skills to reflect their tendencies toward subtlety and subterfuge. Pria knights focus on tactics and teamwork, working in tandem with their pets and guests. Demon knights are the most offensive of the four variants, and their damage and power increases with every passing turn - though you'll want quite a bit of endurance to survive using this class.

As with the original, Knight class has a 5-skill Squire armor and 4 variants that add the remaining 5.


Squire's Training Armor
Knight class armor.

Light armor, good overall resists.

This only works if you're wielding a weapon you're Trained with: a sword, an axe or a maul.


Level 1: Knight's Armaments - Active
Summon your Kingdom's sword and shield!

Primate Murder -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/22/2018 15:04:42)

Warrior's Mage Blade

Energy melee sword
+3 bth lean
0-proc, so *1.08 damage.

Effect1: Looses 25% damage on all weapon attacks (for a total of 75% melee) to compensate for effect2.

Effect2: Twice per battle you can click on the blade to activate Float like a Warrior, Sting like a Mage. This causes your WMB to deal +125% damage (for a total of 200%) on all weapon attacks for one turn.

Appearance: A longsword with a jewel in the pommel and an engraving on the blade. When the skill is activated, the jewel glows and the glow flows through the engraving.
Description: Because nothing says 'warrior' like reduced sustain and a focus on burst damage.




CH4OT1C! -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/23/2018 5:31:25)

Warrior's mage blade is unbalanced. Based on the 20-turn model - mages deal 75% damage for 16 rounds and 200% for 4 rounds. This weapon deals 75% damage but only allows you to use 200% damage twice. That means you're losing about on 250% damage over a 20 turn period. You either need to make it so that you can use the skill 4 times per battle, or make the weapon deal 83.33% damage per round (to account for the missing 250%). Does this item have a mastercraft effect?

Squire armour:
Level 0: I like the idea, but this is unbalanced. Yes, class armours use a different standard to what we usually expect. However, each skill tends (on average) to be worth about 5% melee. Reducing the FD penalty from *0.8 to *0.9 is worth at least twice that. You'd be able to get away with a toggle of some sort that costs SP if you wanted to keep it as is.
Level 1: These items would have to be balanced properly: Rennd would need an appropriate downtrigger (without an MC effect, you're looking at ~5-10%). You'd need to deal less damage to compensate for the fear with granemor. Deren has the same problem - you need to reduce your damage output to pay for the effect. Stormfallen requires a ~5-10% penalty to damage. Fiend of vergil offers a +25% damage to poison and burn status effects for an MC effect. You're limiting it to burn but doubling the damage increase.
Level 2: I'll presume you've run the numbers correctly for this. Basic but looks ok.
Level 3: I'll presume this has an SP cost. Looks interesting. Not sure I like the fact it has INT on the minor save. Even if it is meant to "conjure" arrows, we are talking about a warrior-based class. Warriors don't tend to carry INT!
Level 4: Based on caden's wrath, you need to be doing +38.33% damage rather than your equation. I prefer yours personally, I'm just saying how this was balanced in the past. How would the latter part of this work?
Level 5: Rennd knight would have to have a downtrigger but other than that. It's good.

Pria Knight:
Level 6/7/8/9/10: These are all fine. Balanced, though I would debate exactly how many of these the staff would want to put into one armour. Elelocked, converting enemy damage to light etc. Not sure that would be a good idea (you're essentially making an armour that can convert any enemy into "demon" with demorphosis, force them to deal light damage and then attack them with elelocked light damage). I'm not sure the staff would allow all that in one armour! (And that's not even mentioning all the other skills). There's synergy, and there's going too far.

Emoran Knight:
Level 6: This works
Level 7/8: Also works, but I question the merit of having 2 skills taken up with this effect. Sounds a bit bland
Level 9: This works.
Level 10: Interesting premise. Suffers from the same issue as pria in that I doubt the staff would allow you to elelock and convert damage in the same armour (you'd be virtually unkillable). Also that level 7/8 thing.

I'll do the others at some point as well




Primate Murder -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/23/2018 9:44:24)

To be fair, the standards presume two battles of 10 turns, rather than a single one of 20 (bosses excepted) - that's why there's a heal every two battles. Giving the blade 4 'casts' would be like healing all mp every battle.

As an alternative, I can make it similar to Windter set. You start with 'two' casts and gain another two after killing a monster (PlLvl - 15 or more) - but that's just making it Kindred level abusable.


Level 0. Well, for one it's not entirely unheard of - it's more like turning your weapons into 100-procs. For another, that's why I gave it a trigger - Unity Alignment. Yes, it's slightly stronger than an average trigger, but if you consider the fact that it has a second pseudo-trigger - melee weapons only (so Str required), it can work.

Level 1. A standard FSB is worth 10% melee, like a trigger.

- Rennd's FSB combines that with a secondary trigger for 7.5% each (15% total), dealing no bonus damage against non-demons.

- I tried to balance fear to be worth 10%. 100% fear (50% for 2 turns) on 50/50 save is worth 59.5% melee, so 10 *100/59.5 = 16.8% chance of infliction.

- Steam Trobble causes the monster to permanantly loose 1 MRM with a 50/50 save for 5% melee. 10% makes the monster loose one and you gain one, so worth 10%.

- Neko shows that 5% melee (worth of a standard passive) is worth +25% burn damage. 10% is therefore worth +50%.

Level 3. Added the sp cost, forgot that, so thanks.

As for the save, I'm posting it as Player's Dex and Luck vs Monster's Int and Luck - info subs always post saves as PlStats vs MonsterStats, so same here. Monster uses Int, since they need basic knowledge of magic to realize the arrows are conjured.

Level 4. Caden's Wrath presumes you have 0 Cha. I'm using Lepre-Chan's formula.

The second part is a 'flavor' skill to compensate for having to use a forth stat. The staff did it for the Terror Set, so it's not impossible.

Level 5. Maybe. The original Squire guest is MC'd, so we'll see how the staff play it.


Pria Knight. I honestly forgot about the Demomorphosis. The armor was supposed to be really powerful against demons, but you're right - that does make it somewhat murkier.


Emoran Knight. Frankly, those two were largely thematic choices. Granemor fought against undead and mutants for so long that it needed something against them. Originally I planned to put this into the FSB, but I'm uncertain on how to combine FSB and two triggers.

As for level 10, once again, this was designed to be really strong against very specific sort of enemies. It does make sense lore-wise for Emoran knights to be able to stand against hordes of mutants and undead.




CH4OT1C! -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/23/2018 10:42:53)

Level 0: I think we'll have to agree to disagree there
Level 1: Fair enough, didn't see the FSB bit. Other bits I wasn't really bothered by.
Level 3: Fair enough
Level 4: Yes, but you're using an armour not a pet. An armour doesn't require you to have CHA to get the most out of it, unlike a pet. That's why it should be closer to Caden's Wrath
Level 5: Agree with you there. Best to leave that bit to the staff's discretion

Emoran: I see what you mean. To me though, it just seems like you're giving it the same effect for the sake of it. Maybe try do something different for mutants?




Primate Murder -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/23/2018 11:11:06)

Level 4. A standard pet deals 20% melee and another 20% melee if you have enough Cha. That's what I'm using - you sacrifice 20-40% damage and gain the same amount (or, well, 18-36%, since *0.9 and all).

Also, Caden's expects you to 1) have 0 Cha and 2) sacrifice a guest as well. It's not really a good comparison.


Emoran. Let's be frank - how often are you going to run into mutants?




CH4OT1C! -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/23/2018 13:19:35)

... and this armour is the same. It does not expect you to run charisma. It's different to a pet. I must stress, I prefer your stat formula. However, the requirements for this armour are not different to the weapon - you don't need CHA in order to use it.

Emoran: In which case, I find it to be a waste of a skill slot.




Primate Murder -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/23/2018 14:47:17)

Okay, I must be missing something, since I honestly don't understand your argument.

You could run this armor with no Cha and gain the same boost as you would running a pet with no Cha. You don't need Cha, Cha just makes it better.

Lepre-chan is literally a booster, same as Chilly/Ramssey, but with Cha. It does nothing, but boost your damage. If it's easier, think of this skill as a compressed lepre-chan pet.


Emoran. Maybe. But as I've said, I'm trying to make the armors fit into the setting thematically - and you can't have a knight of Granemor without mentioning the mutants.




CH4OT1C! -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/23/2018 15:24:40)

I understand what you're saying. I don't it's the appropriate equation to use for this skill.
Caden's wrath assumes you sacrifice a pet and a guest. In the case of your armour, you're also sacrificing the attack of your pet to boost your own damage. With lepre-chan it is different. Lepre-chan still attacks, boosting your damage based on CHA. In the case of your armour, your pet is not acting. You are making the attack. As such, the armour is more closely alligned to Cadens wrath even though Caden also requires you to give up your guest. It is for this reason it should work like Caden's wrath, not like Lepre-chan

Edit: There's no point in going round in circles. We'll just have to agree to disagree on how this is done. The main point is Lepre-chan ACTS whereas your pet DOES NOT




Primate Murder -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/23/2018 15:47:07)

Lepre-chan doesn't attack either. He boosts your attack. Any extra damage comes via your attack, not the chaun's.

Also, and I feel like I'm repeating myself, Caden's is designed for use by 0 Cha builds. That is not the case here. While you can use it with 0 Cha, it's best suited for Cha builds. You use four stats instead of three. The equation is different at its very base. It's the difference between a 150 Dex build using +4.25 bth MC or the werepyre's hybrid stats toggle.

'Mount' is designed in such a way that it uses Cha in addition to the other three stats to boost itself via an 'invisible pet' - your mount.




LUPUL LUNATIC -> RE: Primate Murder's Suggestion Thread (12/23/2018 18:35:37)

Lepre-chan ACTS so its the same as attack,instead boosts not doing direct damage but without acting you do NOT get the boost. There is a difference.

Also does not mean best suited, is like saying auto-hit Kusanagi while expecting 0 DEX and LUK is best suited for <Hybrids>.
Caden is designed around you having 0 CHA because that would be the maximum abuse you can get with it. <like Kusanagi>
