Tekitas-Takitais, god of clockwork
Likes:
- killing users of haste/slow, as they interfere with time flow
- killing users of chaos, as chaos is illogical and unpredictable
Dislikes:
- using haste/slow/chaos [penance]
- *uncontrolled* teleport/blink (bending spacetime is OK, doing so unpredictably is not) [first warning, then penance]
Some possible powers:
- Probability Condensation - TekTak tempers spacetime to make tele more predictable - temporarily grants +CTele (this might be too powerful)
- Crafting - now, I know what you're thinking: "omfg Crawl does NOT need a Zin-damned crafting system!". I propose something more along the lines of: invoke an ability where TekTak asks "give me X potions of foo, Y scrolls of bar, and I will gift you a wand of baz", where foo/bar/baz are randomly determined. Or, "give X potions of foo, Y potions of bar, and a +2 piece of any equipment, and gift an artifact version of that equipment". Think of it as a means of creating (maybe) more powerful items/equips at the cost of some consumables you might have needed otherwise.
- Passives: immunity to slow/haste, increased duration of buffs, rCorr, others?
I feel the lack of haste/slow/chaos should be sufficient as a negative tradeoff & isn't *too* similar to Chei. The uncontrolled tele/blink might be a bit much though. I'm also not too tied to the name. "TekTak" might be too cutesy a name for a clockwork god.
Thoughts?
