New Mutation: Powered by Blood

[infinitevox]

Powered by Blood
Rank 1: Slaying Bonus at Low HP; Your magical and physical power is slightly enhanced at low health.
Rank 2: Improved Slaying Bonus at Low HP; Your magical and physical power is enhanced at low health.
Rank 3: Superior Slaying Bonus at Low HP; Your magical and physical power is greatly enhanced at low health.

Bonus = 0, ceiling(mutlevel*(hp/maxhp)/maxhp))*(0.4*spell power + 4 slaying). You become more powerful with lower % HP


Essentially reverse Augmentation.
The reason I'm posting this is that I'm considering using this idea as part of my Spectre species proposal. Making it an actual mutation would make coding it a lot easier.
I also thought this could possibly make an interesting possible Ds mutation as well.
The relative power of the mutation is offset by the fact that you're just asking to get 1-shot if you're trying to keep it as close to max power as possible all the time.

If it is added to the Ds muts list, I recommend it as a Tier 2, and make it exclusive from Augmentation.

Is it on the "Won't do" list?
I can see why it would have been removed as a general mutation, but if I'm looking at it being a semi-species defining attribute, maybe it could be brought back?
Especially since the code already exists.

  Code:

15:47:22 <elliptic> [...] (reverse) augmentation suffer from doing absolutely nothing unless you are taking serious amounts of damage, which is something that any character tries to avoid

Isn't Powered by Pain really similar?

Right, that's what I meant about as a general Mut.
But with the species Spectre that I'm proposing, they cast spells from their HP, meaning that reverse Aug might actually do something for them.

you could just give them -40% hp and permanent augmentation, which would have a similar effect. reverse augmentation is proposing that: at the point where this species should probably quit and leave the fight, they should instead stay and burn more hp on spells???

no, it triggers based on the amount of damage you take

Powered by Pain just requires you to take damage rather than requiring you to stay at low HP.
