Proposal : More cards for nemelex
I'm not a native English speaker, so please forgive my grammar/word choice mistake.
Playing with cards might seem complex, however if player understand Nemelex and his card's mechanism, Nem is a great generalist god. A feature I like the most about him is I can spend golds with alchemist and mercenary card, which have decent effects. (DE blademaster for 2500 golds? hell yes!) Most characters in late-game still have tons of golds left after shopping everything they need from shops in main dungeon, and only Jiyva and Nemelex provide uses for these golds.
What if Nemelex have a special type of deck, containing new cards that requires certain amount of gold for each use like mercenary of alchemist card? he even can have a shop like Zin's purifying lemonade stand in front of his altar. Here're some example I brainstormed:
Statue : spending some gold to upgrade normal statue in dungeon.
Level 0 - different version of mundane statue. Level 1 - mid-level statue like archer statue. Level 2 - high-level statue like conjurer statue.
Decoration : changing materials of nearby walls.
Level 0 - different color. Level 1 - stone or metal with equal odds. Level 2 - crystal(reflect fire/cold bolts like lightning on normal wall)
Mercenary - same as current one
Alchemist - same as current one
Treasure - create trove, but this one requires gold to enter. Only appears in ornate and legendary card.
Transmute : change an enemy into pile of gold. No cost, however success rate and amount of gold is depend on target's hd. High-power card will have better rate of success. Uniques cannot be transmuted.
Bribe : paying bribe to an intelligent monster to stop attacking you. Amount of gold is depend on monster's hd.
Level 0 - monster is pacified. Level 1 - monster is pacified or hired. Level 2 - monster is permanently hired.
Boost Morale : paying intelligent allies to make them fight better for brief seconds.
Level 0 - mass shroud of golubria. Level 1 - mass haste. Level 2 - mass berserk.
Banquet - gives player random amount of nutrition in trade of gold.
Level 0 - 0~4000 Nutrition. Level 1 - 4000~8000 Nutrition. Level 2 - 8000~12000 Nutrition.
Blessing - guess Zin is little short on cash right now...
Level 0 - random potion of stats. Level 1 - cures all temporal debuffs such as stain drain. Level 2 - cures all type of debuffs, including semi-permanent one such as rotting.
Offering - offer gold to get random god's favor. opposite version of wrath card.
receive a random god's gift or random god's ability excluding branding weapon is cast onto player if that god doesn't give any gift. power of the ability is depend on card power.
