A slathering demon spawn rakes its long talons across your body.

sip health

You take a drink from an onyx vial.
The potion heals and soothes you.

You bleed 27 health.

..just no. This is a five power skill. Please at least make it bleed a lot, or act like a bloodhound, or randomly make them cold, or replace it with some sort of mental parasite that drains mana. Something. Anything. I don't know why it was lowered from 7p to 5p.

Bloodhound.. hah no. Removing power cost to 0p or 1p seems fine though.

How long do those things last and such?

What was the change made to those recently? Don't the stronger ones have a chance of afflicting, or was that just someone daydreaming about it that I remember?

I think you're referring to the corpses raised using raisedead, not demon spawn.
Acrune2007-05-30 21:36:34
Oh, probably right.

I say the spawn, along with the damge it causes, allow it to knock enemies off balance ,and lower the cost to 3p. Make it act like a brownie that does damage, just small balance loss. That would help us with sacrifice, which is obscenely difficult and impossible to those without a balance in equilibrium or balance.

I'd prefer afflictions, or more bleeding/damage (Even though the latter isn't too useful unless it's amazingly increased). Being knocked off balance is annoying, and thus fits in the "abilities not to be excessively available" bin. I'm not sure what affliction would enhance Nihilist offense without being unbalanced, though.

Erm, right. Purely your own opinion, and clearly knocking off balance would be much better off than afflicting, hence being able to help with a skill that is extremely difficult and near impossible to pull off unless you have bouses to balance or equilibrium.

I think having it hit randomly with healthleech, amnesia, or bleeding would be fair (or some equally impotent affliction(s)?). Bleeding would be nice because it filters in nicely with torture/clot/mana drain - or so Torak wanted. Also, if it had some more HP that would be nice. -shrug-
