New God: Euclidiel
I'm here to propose a new god, Euclidiel, who presides over mathematics. Euclidiel lives in self-imposed exile from the pantheon after being bullied by the other gods, especially Trog, and has a distinct hatred for them. Euclidiel appreciates it when you kill enemies who are berserk, are capable of berserking, or have average or or below average intelligence (animals and plants included). Due to his exile, Euclidiel cannot be found in the Ecumenical Temple, but may still be found in Dungeon levels 1-9. He/She wants worshipers to be as lonely as itself, and so bans mercenaries, summons, zombie and skeleton minions, and all other forms of allies. Euclidiel also dislikes it when one trains the Summonings and Necromancy schools (piety loss), or becomes berserk through any means (penance).
Abilities:
Upon joining- "You can calculate trajectories and act upon them accordingly." All attacks have a passive slaying bonus to accuracy equal to (Piety/40), rounding down. All enemies suffer a similar malus to accuracy as you predict and dodge their attacks (this could just be an EV increase, or something like the penalty from Umbra)
* Educated Recital- Enemies recognize the math blight you carry with you and flee accordingly while calling out insults (Equivalent to a fear scroll, but only effective for enemies of average and below average intelligence). Has a large Piety cost.
** Cardinalized Retreat- You can perform semi-controlled blinks, but only in non-diagonal cardinal directions, and only away from monsters. (large Piety cost plus glow)
*** Differentiation- Casts Disintegrate, as per the wand effect. (6 MP plus hunger and small Piety loss)
**** Integration- Regenerates health and MP at rates similar to the Regenerate spell at low spell power. (5 MP and hunger)
***** Exponentiation- Activated ability similar to Dithmengos's shadow mimic that lasts for 4-6 turns. Has a ((Piety/2)-20) percent chance to mimic each spell or melee/projectile attack, creating a replica of each spell or attack with less spellpower or base damage. Each replica has a ((Piety/2)-70) percent chance of inciting its own replica. (12 MP and large Piety cost)
****** Aura of Zeno- Passive ability that casts Slow on every enemy in LOS at low spellpower once every 5 turns. Comes with an activated ability that makes incoming attacks that would deal damage (after AC, EV, and SH) have their damage rounded down to the nearest prime number (13 MP and glow). Stealth is decreased by 150.
Obviously this is a work in progress, which is why it's in CYC and not GDD. If anyone has serious (or semi-serious) feedback on the idea, I'd appreciate it.
