haha, another class idea

I can't think of the appropriate name for them but perhaps spirits or elemental(s)(ists).
 
Their main feature of this class is that it will have no HP. It's a completely magical entity. So in addition to mana consumption by abilities (no spells), they will have to consider not dying.
 
Abilities:
Vanish - Kind of like invis. Basically the entity disperses itself and floats around in an unnoticeable form. Vision would not work to uncover. May not attack/cast spells etc while in this state. Vanishing and reappearing take a total of 8 seconds to do. No hit and runs with this Tongue Also, 15 MP to vanish and another 15 to reappear. - level 20
 
Drain - Drains small amounts (same as cleric heal) of MP from monsters/players. No experience gained. - level 1
 
Mana Flare - Release a small ball of ignited magic. 10-15 damage - level 1 - 8 MP
 
Cold Touch - Freezing the air around one's hand, this can cause small cases of frostbite instantaneously. 15-25 damage - level 5 - 13 MP
 
Infect - Creating a small cut, created virii can enter the victim. Poison damage of 20 per 30sec - level 10 - 30 MP
 
Flash - A searing flash of light emits from the being causing burns to all that are near. 30-40 damage - level 15 - 30 MP - Affects all on square, monsters and players (even if on nopk).
 
Bolt - Calling forth a lightning bolt from the sky, it will strike anything the being wishes. 40-50 damage - level 20 - 20 MP
 
Synthesize - Generates a magical weapon or armor. Base damage is equal to .5*lvl+10 ac is equal to lvl*2 - level 25 - 100 MP
 
Quake - Taking control of the earth around him, the being manipulates and hurls it at his opponents. 50-60 damage - level 27 - 25 MP
 
Sharp Wind - Summons small bursts of winds at breakneck speeds. 60-70 damage - level 29 - 35 MP - Does -1 damage for every 10 ac other person has.
 
Teleport - Concentrating all their energy on one point, the being may transport themself there. level 30 - all MP - You may teleport to any pub - only usable on full stam and if no other things are on the square.
 
Now that all the castable abilities have been stated, it would be really cool for passive abilities to come into play. Here's my ideas for this class.
 
Gentle Breeze - A gentle breeze floats the user to an unreachable point. level 25 - dismisses the use of ropes, climbing equipment etc.
 
Regeneration - Drawing energy from the life around him, the being will restore at a faster pace. level 20 - increases mana regeneration to 8 per 30 seconds.
 
Dispersion - When running low on magical forces, parts of the being begin to disappear. level 1 - When mortally wounded, dodge% goes up by 15%
 
Seeing as it would be a magcal class, the MP gains would be very high. I would suggest an average Mage gain * 2.
 
I would very much love to see this a solo class. It would be extremely interesting.
 
Class would not be able to equip weapons or armor.
 
No spells to buy, just the abilities.
 
I think that's pretty much it, feel free to add or comment.

One problem: Bolt. Doesn't sound too great lol, but apart from that the class sounds d**n good. Well wait.. I found another problem. The whole no dying part seems a bit over the top.. maybe i'm missing something, but surely they would be too over powered? (being able to do 70 damage and not die)

Ok, so I kinda didn't ask.. oh well Grin

Uh yeah...they can die heh.  
 
I meant that it will be challenging to balance how much mp to use for spells and how much to save for mp used as life.

They lose mana by being hit. It functions as both HP and MP.

Not too hard to See people...
 
One thing though... shouldnt have all those as abilities... I mean... Well the passive ones should be bought... I know that sounds stuipid, But I also think maybe they should be limited to a few passive abilities only... Kinda hard to type this from my head to the comp...
 
Maybe Ill repost when I can explain more

In regards to Synthesize, you will generate either a weapon, or armor. You may not recast to get the other.
 
ie You cast synthesize and get the weapon. You can't cast it again to get the armor.

Also, I was thinking of suggesting that they are not able to buy anything or obtain gold. Only use what they find. It would be good if people could see past it in terms of personal gain, but I don't think that will happen.

Other than the above quote I think this would be a decent addition. Only problem with the above spell is the ability to cast on a nopk square. I can just see bunches of ppl running around thru towns killing everyone they can find in the town with that spell. Perhaps a slight change? I dunno....maybe make it cost all mana to cast on a nopk square?

Haha, yeah, no casting on nopk squares. It just ignores your nopk list so it will harm friend and foe.

Well its not like your first post actually stated which nopk was meant. But now I understand, perhaps you should correct it to say nopk list?

But I like the idea ya got here, now if the big man himself will like it is another story, and if he does it depends on when it will be added for another story. Seems alot is "noted".

I personally feel its a rather nice idea. I mean sure, it needs some touching up, but I don't see why it couldn't be done. I have a feeling you won't hear an answer on it until the Silversail rage has died down. Wink

I like the idea. So basicly you could say they have neither MP or HP. They just have a life force that they're able to use, kind of like a horse, if you mis treat it, it'll run till it dies. It you miss use this class, you'll end up killing yourself.
 
Their life force could be equal to that of a Mage's mana x 1.5..
 
What happens when you do die, anything different? Or just loss of EXP? It'd be good to finally see a big punishment for death..
