New Artifact: Brooch of possesion

[dynast]

Spirit, MP+9, MR+, RN+, slay-3, -cast, *Drain, DChan.

[twelwe]

it should be +3

[WingedEspeon]

what does Dchan do?

[tedric]

it's the "death channel" effect: https://lookupdb.guy.ht/#term/dchan

  Code:

Level 6 necromancy spell in the book of Unlife. Gives you the temporary status of "channeling the dead" (check it in @ or %), during which anything killed by you or in your LOS comes back as a temporary friendly spectral thing (and can still leave a corpse, too).

It's like if Trog were an item. It'd be cool to try out.

[bcadren]

I'd keep the *Drain but drop the -Cast. -Cast really trims down the amount of characters it'd be usable for a bit too much. If you want to keep a 'it makes everything harder' feel, maybe a -Wiz?

[dynast]

no, thats the purpose of the artifact, its not supposed to be THAT good, and having DChan is already broken enough imo.

You really think with Shielding, Bloodlust, Cekubob, Vitality, Finger Necklace, Four Winds and Air...there's room for an amulet that's "NOT THAT GOOD?"

...Without -Cast it's very similar to Zolguldrok, but edges out to be a little better. With -Cast it's similar to Zonguldrok and far worse.

EDIT: My point was -CAST is a property that is irrelevant to a lot of characters...COMPLETELY BARS USE to a lot of characters...and is actually an interesting choice for a tiny minority of characters. It's not really a good property because it makes the item trash to the second group...which is -A LOT- of characters.

Theres room for a Spirit amulet and thats my idea for it~

I remember one of the devs wanted to give DChan to Finisher but nothing came out of it so far.
