New God: Wulndraste the Wayfarer (God of No Backtracking)
- Code:
Wulndraste the Wayfarer is a god of exploration and travel who expects followers to always push onwards, never heading back until they have seen the sights and gotten what they came for. Wulndraste blesses adherents with enhanced physical and magical stamina that grows with devotion. Followers can blend in to a local population and thereby move quickly past a crowd, confusing them in the process. Devoted explorers can instantly teleport themselves away from danger.
Wulndraste piety:
Wulndraste appreciates exploration and picking up runes.
Wulndraste really, really hates backtracking, defined as "taking an up stair when there's a rune or unexplored down stair pathable on that same level from that up stair without flight".
To do: sharply reduce exploration piety, give a piety bonus for getting to a point on each level selected by the god and raising a flag-altar; mark staircases you'll be penalized for using with a visual indicator instead of merely a verbal warning upon use.
Wulndraste powers:
*: Endurance (passive): Wulndraste raises your hp/mp by 10%, increases your regeneration, and removes the 50 mp cap.
**: Blend In (active, small piety cost): You can blink through a consecutive string of monsters, with a chance to confuse the monsters you travel through. The confusion power level increases with Invocations skill.
***: Endurance upgrade to 20%, increased regen.
****: Change of Scenery (active, large piety cost): You instantly teleport, but get the dimensional anchor status for a little while. Increasing Invocations skill reduces the duration of the status.
*****: Endurance upgrade to 30%, increased regen.
Wulndraste wrath:
You get a significant penalty to health/mana (30% IIRC) until wrath expires.
Notes:
Wulndraste has some (many?) bugs still, including assigning penance for leaving labyrinths. Please let me know all the bugs you find and I'll resolve them as soon as I 'm able.
Edit: credit to PF and wheals for the conduct specifications, to Grunt for the name, and to ontoclasm for the great altar icon. Also credit to all the active devs, who pretty much all had some hand in the creation process. Special thanks to johnstein for putting up the experimental branch!
