Re: New god- Blorki - God of living and undead

Why would anyone transform to undead?

Re: New god- Blorki - God of living and undead

A bunch of protections? Resistance to torment and other stuff (Maybe? I'm not too good at this).Edit: Stronger god minions? Being able to affect living things with your god abilities. Foodless for scumming.
The main thing was transforming to living to join the good gods for ease of clearing the undead for the undead.
It might be a bad idea, but it's my idea.

Re: New god- Blorki - God of living and undead

Those resistances are useless. By using transform to undead I lose my ability to improve my mutations, get a level of frail, lose access to the best necromancy spells, lose access to Zin (an extremely good late-game swap), and even become vulnerable to dispel undead and holy wrath, in exchange for some useless resistances. If this ability is going to exist it needs to have some absolutely massive advantage to be worth taking, because being undead, in itself, is extremely bad. It's also bizarre that you think giving you the ability to scum is a point in favour of this god.
Similarly, transform to living is incredibly powerful and pretty much every undead character will want to start with a good early game god, then swap to this god, get transform to living, use it, then abandon and worship a god with good abilities again. If you made it impossible to abandon (or at least impossible to worship another god) after using transform to living, it might be balanced, but I still don't like the idea of a god whose purpose is to remove a defining feature of your species.

Re: New god- Blorki - God of living and undead

The advantage can be that the living fighters and casters (Tengues, Ogres, Trolls, deep elves, humans, orcs) are considerably more dangerous than the undead fighters and low level undead casters (Which is what you would get at low invocations) (Generic Mummies, ghouls and vampires don't make good fighters). And given that there seem to be a lot of living characters in the game, the other abilities might balance that out?
And the transformation wasn't a one time thing in my mind, you can transform as long as you have enough piety to transform (Which is a lot).

Ohhhh. Repeatable transformation makes a lot more sense, yeah.

Re: New god- Blorki - God of living and undead

Most of my games I already Transform to Dead, usually by D:10 or before.

Secretly, the ability has the exact effect Blobbo is thinking about.
