Rotghroth Rhapsody Retlaw May Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I have a tenative idea that would make temporary creations a more viable option. I'm not sure how many people have thought of this, so please tell me if you like the idea. In G4 there are many enemies and some allies that can shape during combat. What would it be like if you could shape during combat, but only charged/unstable creations? That would make charged creations worth something or at least more interesting.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 You know what would also help? If they didn't cost up to 3 times as much as regular creations while being generally less useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Retlaw has a point. If charged creations could be made in combat and acted as friendly NPCs rather than party members they would be far more useful than they are now. —Alorael, who also thinks it would help with the horde shaper style. It's nice to be accompanied by a half dozen creations, but it would be even nicer to be able to make a dozen more during especially tough fights. It probably wouldn't be balanced at all, but it would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Make them weaker, but the same. They should definitely be able to be Shaped during combat. Someone might actually use them then. But they should still count as party members, and be controlled by you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt I_am_a_Minotaur Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Don't make them weaker if they count as party members. That would make them too weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Weaker as in one or two levels lower at start. Ooh, new idea. Be able to Shape creations with no skills at all, including the two automatic intelligence, during combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Vicheron Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I would make 70% to 90% of their cost take up spell points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 No, that's way too cheap. Maybe 20-30%, at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt I_am_a_Minotaur Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 30-40 sounds fair to me. 70-90 is way too much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Retlaw May Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 I think that this would be a good adition to G5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
