Skill idea: Headbanging

Post by SkrikRunkarN »

I was thinking it could be fun to introduce the skill idea "Headbanging".
The idea came up to my mind when I was thinking about spicing up the "unarmored fighting".

Fighting bare handed seems (for me) to be kind of a huligan-style, so headbanging could fit pretty well with fighting with your fists.

The on source effect of headbanging could be:
Reduces total AC and BC randomly by 20% up to 50%. (varies every round for 5 rounds)
Adds move cost between 0 and +14 (varies every round for 5 rounds)
Adds +1 to +10 AD (varies every round for 2 rounds)
Adds attack cost between -1 and +1 (varies every round for 2 rounds)

The on source effect could be activated on "when struck" by maybe between 20% and 50%.

It could work out as a Specialization/Überskill -that gets max'd at 1.
What do you think? xD
_____________________________________________
I just came up with another idea:

Duckling mastery:
It's a on source skill too, based on the skill Merchant (requires to be maxed):
When you see an enemy 5 squares away, you have 5% chance every 6 seconds to be throwing a duckling against random monster. It could be dealing your (negative)MiniAD up to your (positive)MaxAD ;)
What I'm trying to say here with that negative dmg is that the duckling could be healing the monster because it's risking to get eaten up while being thrown at the monster.

It could also be a hamster or another small animal -just any throwable cute animal :)
_____________________________________________
I've been thinking of Bark skin for a while, for maxing that skill I would suggest my new idea:
Ricochet: when struck, you have a 5% chance of deflecting incoming dmg.
It also makes the curse "Bark-butter-fingers" that could force them to drop their weapon: meaning reducing their AC by 30% and reducing their AD by 25%

Have you considered that you might be barking mad? Not saying you are just that it might be a possibility.

Erhmm..? Barking mad?
I'm not barking, I don't get your point. And mad, no I'm not mad at all -are you? It seems like you are when you write that way.

The Firelord is a big fan of moshing hehehe!

------------------------
Headbanging: -1
Too many varying factors, would be more frustrating to use than helpful.
------------------------
Duckling Mastery: -1
Wouldn't fit into the game, pets/familiars are currently a rejected idea (no plans to be added)
------------------------
Ricochet: +1
Would be a fun High level skill for players who have defensive builds.

:shock:

i almost passed out - laughing - when i read this thread...

:lol:

three tips:

Code: Select all

1. it's open source, anything goes!
2. say anything & brain storm like crazy!!!
3. don't get your feelings hurt & keep pushing!
ok, more than three - but...
the best ideas are often beaten down initially...

8-)

Kaverin: Perseverence is key!

I'm adding a 4th:
4. Ideas do get rejected... don't get discouraged, collect your thoughts and try suggesting another idea.
