As of right now elemental runes and locus swarms only web and do a small amount of damage. What if they can be infused with dream motes or runes and give the affliction of the rune or mote and web? This I think would slow raiding down a bit.



Also change squall into a face paint called shadow which would turn a person into a shadow and it would function in the same manner as ghost (I dont know how ghost works) but after a period of time you would regain corporeal form with zero defences and what not. It could be painted on all users of Night and Crow.

ghost you have to do when you need it, it takes i believe 3-4 power don't remeber off hand and to lazy to look, but instead of turning into a ghost maybe it should make you turn into a shadow, basicly the same thing as ghost just diffrent name and more suited to glom.

You can already infuse a deam mote or rune! Meld the damn room, lazy.

And the facepaint would only be useable by people who have it else I want Stag to be able to give me +1 balance, etc.

The purpose was to have mage/druid guards afflict as well to beef them up.

Ummmm.... you only need the Stag and Moon skill to be resurgemed. So explain why a face paint cant be used instead... so its not the same exact skill as resurgem.

You are talking about a clone of lich, right? Not ghost?

Hmm, that could work... but not identical to Lich. That's Magnagora's uberskill and I think it would be unreasonable to give it to Glomdoring as well. How about making it instantly resurrect like vitae, but you get a defence "encapsulated in shadows" that lasts for 20 seconds and gives an 80% chance of dodging any aggressive action.

That would be really interesting... though I would like to see it keep all spirits you are bonded to (lose all the other defs, but keep the spirits due to it being a shadow natury kind of thing). If you had horse and groundhog up, this would still give you a bit of a chance to do more of an escape (assuming blocked room, due to walls or some such).

Come to think of it, that'd be insanely handy, even if it had the same experience loss as vitae (and gain for the killer, so it's not another whoah they lost nothing mutter mutter).

I like that one. But I'd say something like have a coven of 3 bestow it as a defence on every follower of Crow or Night in the room that lasts until the next dawn. (Or a flat day.)

EDIT: Or longer, I guess, since that's a nasty limitation. But have some restriction to do with night time just 'cause. biggrin.gif

Hm... I think that would pretty much make it (nearly) useless, lasting at most 60 minutes? All it would EVER have any use for is raiding, unless folk keep coming home every 60 minutes (or dawn) to get a refresher, and I'd rather not have a skill with that as its sole purpose.

It would have little use defending, especially against someone who kills guards and one or so defender and then flees the moment he or she sees three defenders on the plane... unless we're supposed to sit around waiting for a coven to form and give said raider more time to play around.

Well, I was thinking of Moonlight, but then again Moonlight does completely suck, so you're probably right. Well, have it last until death/qq, then, but only initiatable at night.
