Andor's Trail

I like this idea a lot Tek.....as a 1 HP loss per round for 5 rounds is nothing; which is why the barbed dagger or poisoned dagger is cool, but not THAT cool. But with a skill boost, it just might be.

Or the additional damage caused by a poisoned weapon could be a multiplier on the base damage, starting out small by default and scalable up as levels of the skill are taken.i.e. You learn to make deadlier poisons to apply to your blade. It would have to be the base weapon damage, not the base character damage, since it wouldn't make sense that just leveling up your AD would make your poison more effective...

With my new found love with the Blackwater items because of dual wielding, I have a "blackwater build" character that is currently wielding the "Blackwater Poisoned Dagger" which inflicts the "weak Poison" actor condition on the NPC at a rate of 50% for -1HP/round for 5 rounds.
While waiting for the NPC to die (inflict & flee) and it taking forever, it came to me. Why not introduce a skill that behaves exactly like the "Better Criticals" does except that it would inflict more HP lose per round on the "blood disorder" actor conditions. And just like "Better Criticals" requires a critical hit weapon be equipped, this skill requires a weapon that inflicts such an actor condition be equipped. Maybe call this "Better Blood Disorders"

Creating an equivalent to the "More Criticals" could also work. Maybe call this "More Blood Disorders"

That is a fantasic idea Tek! This would be a great way to allow further customization of players!

That's exactly what actor conditions need.
I would like it if said skill impacted all actor conditions improving rounds or effects of them
Excellent idea

So a SP skill? Or a given skill? It could be similar to BotSP.

Great ideas!

I would like to suggest a little change to the names of the blessings, Hades and Zeus are not really part of this world
Elythara/Kazaul?

Agreed on that.
I was trying to think of a blessing for each that was related to shadow and light

brilliant idea tek, wow...
although i would lean towards a cooler name & have it be more universal

[effecting all actor conditions that you could inflict on the enemy]

my thoughts here, are to keep it on a similar power level as More Crits / balance.
again, awesome suggestion.

Random Names?
- Nuisance

- Trouble Maker [Yes, like the NPC]

- Fighting Dirty

- Vexation

Exactly. I was just too lazy to write up that the skills should be created for all actor condition types.
Blood disorders, mental & physical conditions

understandable, i was too lazy [honestly too tired] to even log on...
