What if there were two types?

The titan that thunderclapped and so on to kill people?
And the titan that did something that restored the health of everyone in the room, and possibly cured afflictions.

This sounds a bit like a new take on the different kinds of dragons in Achaea.

Right now it seems like these things are blended. For example, would the killing titan still be able to restore him/herself, or would only the healing titan be able to? Also, the healing option might nullify the healing skillset for titans (but then, how many people make it to titan with healing anyway?)

Overall, it doesn't sound like a bad idea, especially if some of the current abilities were split/nerfed a bit in the process.

Would this sort of specialization apply to demigods as well, or only titans?

Could apply to demigods as well.

I wish instead of pledging to an Elder God to become an Avatar, a demigod could pledge to Mother Moon, Mother Night, White Hart, Crow, Luciphage, or Elohora.

And actually Ialie, Aura (which is an Avatar skill) is very similar to what you described. It costs 50k essence (20-25 lobs or so) and lasts 10 minutes. Every 4-5 seconds, it cures 1 affliction, plus heals health and mana for like 400-600. It works for the Avatar and all Order members in the room.

Or Gravynia? or the Water plane equivalent?

I'd like to see it more dependent upon personal roleplay rather than your choice of guild. Moon/Night/DLs/Supernals/etc would all lead to a guild-style demigod. This is something I like about Avatars over this idea, but I would like to see a bit more variety in choices.

I -totally- agree with Nokraenom, Imagine how cool it would be to be the Avatar of Raziela, and actually have some awesome Razielian skills becuase of it?

I think the problem with letting one of the Denziens be Avatarable is the fact that the admin probably want Avatars to mean something, so they won't give it to a Denzien but a true God, which involves an active human to interact with. They don't want players making up their own creed to be an avatar, but rather be subservient to that being's needs.

That's probably also why Hajamin's order was destroyed and Fain/Terentia's were reset. I don't know what powers one gains as an avatar but I assume some sacrifice is involved, and they may not want players to "make up their own rules" regarding the powers.

hehe I call Avatar of Bob... or maybe Ridien... no Miakoda... wait it's obviously Lolly Pringle


EDIT: Just a few questions though. Can a god have more than on avatar? Can they get rid of their avatar and take another one?

Just thinking because if they can only have one that means that there can only be x ammount of avatars at any one time. Where as if one person become the avatar of a god then perhaps rest of their order might be able to become something more, perhaps a gigantic essence cost to bond yourself to the guild mobs or in my twisted imagination we could bond with a single skillset granting a few extra skills (hehe *imagines arena challenges over the right to be the avatar of a skillset*)

bwahahaha Saran, Avatar of the Commanders ()

It works like this:

For the cost of 10,000,000 essence (100 tfs), an Elder God can transform a demigod in His or Her Order into His or Her Avatar. An Avatar starts off with a base personal essence of 2,000,000 (bearing in mind it takes 500,000 essence to phoenix after a death) unlike a demigod, who starts off with 0 essence.

Avatars have an IC role as the herald of the Elder God, aura (50,000 essence, healing ability), wrath (50,000 essence, damage ability)... and I think that's it. Oh, I think they may get to travel to the Upper Divine Havens too instead of the just the Lower Havens.

If you were to be an avatar of things like moon or crow, what would the penility be compared to the downside of a god having a demigod in his order?

Under normal circumstances, I would assume it is the job of the would-be avatar to collect that 10 million essence to fund his or her avatar change. The same amount of essence could be required to assume a similar status with moon, crow, etc.

==============================================

I'm also going to expand my initial idea:

You should be able to bond/ascend to become an avatar, aspect, supernal, or demon lord. The only main difference in this case would be that aura/wrath would need replaced with something (and it could be generic enough to fit all of them). In fact, you could take it a step further and make it slightly more specialized.

For example, aura/wrath would -only- work on the respective plane of this new entity. It would cost only 25,000 essence and heal all practitioners to whom one is bonded to it and harm all enemies who are enemied (this would require enemy status for the earth/water/hart/crow aspects, but that's nothing major).

Sounds a nice but what about people without necromany/scarment/earth/water/hart/crow?

And shouldn't a mob based avatar, like your hart or a demon lord cost more of the demigods essence on a death to cover up the cost of a regular gods essence?
