Ash enhancement proposal
Posted: Saturday, 24th September 2022, 16:38
I really miss the flexibility of the old Ash. Here's a proposal to maintain the fun aspects of the current Ash design (equipment piety system; creating fragile artifacts from equipment with a 'curse') , but allow Ash worshipers to switch between skills again.
step 1: give an equal boost to all skills based on the number of cursed item slots, similarly to bcrawl
step 2: implement a new roster of double-edged and plain bad curses to replace the current roster of Alchemy/Beguiling/etc
step 3: give the Transfer Knowledge skill on a piety gift timer when all slots are cursed
Here's a list of curse ideas:
Of uncontrollable phasing {-6AC +6EV}
Of resistance to weird things {rF- rC- rMut rCorr}
Of melting {-2AC -2EV -2SH rF+ rC+}
Of magic attunement {will-- +wiz}
Of Here! I am (Not!) {*blink +blink}
Of finding and losing {*Tele +Tele}
Of time dilation {*Slow *Haste}
Of uncontrollable rage {*rage +mayhem}
Of repurposed muscles {-6str +2int +2dex}
Of the thick skull {-6int +3AC}
Of fast hands and slow feet {ponderousness, evoking things is 10% faster}
Of uncontrollable clarity {clarity, enemies are enhanced as they also are during Ash wrath}
Of shafting {*shaft +shaft}
step 1: give an equal boost to all skills based on the number of cursed item slots, similarly to bcrawl
