Smith/fire god
Please note that the god was coded for the purpose of testing ideas, and there are probably some bad things in it right now. Hopefully these can be worked out, and if not, then at least we'll gain knowledge of what works and doesn't work.
Commit message:
- Code:
A defensive-oriented god whose abilities have a gold cost.
The flavour is a god of fire, but one who uses fire for creation rather
than destruction.
This is manifested as a smith god reminiscent of Ptah and Hephaestus.
Piety is gained from reading enchant scrolls and exploring.
The enchant scroll conduct is intended to pressure players into reading
scrolls early rather than stockpiling them, which I consider
interesting.
Exploration piety exists so that you can gain piety even when the game
generates very little scrolls.
Abilities:
(*) Boosts the AC of metal body armour. (~8 extra AC at
max piety in plate armour)
This ability synergizes nicely with the enchant conduct.
(**) Reforge an enemy weapon into a mundane hammer.
This is a defensive ability that can cripple enemies such as hill giants,
orc warlords, and certain uniques.
(***) Add the flaming brand to your weapon. (costs lots of gold)
This is the only god given brand that can be applied multiple times.
The piety breakpoint for this ability was chosen to be *** because that
allows players to have a flaming weapon by the time hydras appear.
(****) Divine bellows ability.
This is the same effect as a fan of gales, except it doesn't summon any
elementals.
It creates some distance between you and other monsters.
(*****) Fire-immune magma form with eruption ability.
Magma form is a very powerful effect that makes you immune to fire, but
is extremely unstable and prone to spontaneous erupting.
The eruption effect deals fire-based AoE damage, but ends your
transformation and "magma-exhausts" you.
Ability text:
- Code:
+Divine Bellows ability
+
+This ability releases a great gust of air around you that will push away
+nearby monsters and clouds.
+%%%%
+Firebrand Weapon ability
+
+Using the great forges beneath the earth, Igni will permanently imbue your
+weapon with a brand of flaming.
+%%%%
+Reforge Weapon ability
+
+This ability transforms a non-artefact weapon into a mundane hammer.
+%%%%
+Magma Form ability
+
+Gain the power of the volcano by transforming your flesh into magma. This
+transformation will render your immune to the effects of fire and
+petrification, but weak to cold. While in this form, you radiate a damaging
+heat aura, and your fire and earth magic will be enhanced. Your scrolls will
+be safely stored underneath your magma covering, which means that you won't
+be able to read them while transformed. Unfortunately, this form is extremely
+unstable; taking high amounts of damage may cause you to erupt catastrophically
+into clouds of petrifying ash and fire.
+%%%%
+Erupt ability
+
+While eruption is normally an unpredictable event, it can also be triggered
+at a moment's notice by those in magma form. This ability releases large
+amounts of fire and petrifying ash, but with it comes great pain to yourself.
+After erupting, your transformation will end, and your magma will be
+temporarily depleted.
Also, the name is currently a placeholder, but I don't want to see any name recommendations in this thread. If you have a really good name then you can PM me, but don't waste space by discussing it here.
thanks for the gym equipment
