Bonuses for items enhanced on the forge

[Evnissyen]

I'm wondering what the %'s are on various item enhancements, and how they're attributed to the player's character? I think I remember seeing a list, a long time ago, but I forget; and if said list did/does exist: I seem to remember it being incomplete. I think the speed orb added 3% (or 5%?) to your to-hit? But I dont' remember what the percentages were supposed to be for spines, curse . . . Does anybody have a list?

 

[Archaeolagent]

I think the only list for G4 is Synergy's, which gives all the effects known:

 

ENHANCING ITEMS — ARMOR/WEAPON EHANCEMENT

 

BLESSING CRYSTAL — Armor: Avoid Blows / Weapon: Bonus to Hit

RUNED RUBY — Fire Essence — Armor: +7% Fire Protection / Weapon: Fire Damage

CHARGING STONE — Cold Essence — Armor: +7% Cold Protection / Weapon: Cold Damage

RUNED AMETHYST — Acid Essence — Armor: Acid / Poison Resistance / Weapon: Drips Acid

IVORY SKULL — Curse Power — Armor: Bonus To Hit / Weapon: Curse Target

RUNED ONYX — Magic Essence — Armor: Resist Effects (Fire 3% / Cold 3% / Energy 8% / Acid 10%) / Weapon: Slow Target

TINY ORB OF MIST — Speed Essence — Armor: Harder To Hit / Weapon: Faster Blows

STEEL SPINE — Armor: Damage Attacker / Weapon: Extra Damage

ETHEREAL BINDINGS — Stability — Armor: Stun Resistance / Weapon: Drain Life

GOLDEN CRYSTAL — Strong Blessing — Armor: Resist Effects (Fire 10% / Cold 10% / Energy 10% / Stun 5% / Mental 5% / Poison 5% / Acid 5%) / Weapon: Stronger Blows

 

I did some more detailed exploration for G3, some of which still applies. It may give you some idea how some of the abilities not described work:

The Tiny Orb of Mist is very poorly understood.

[Zummi]

I'm still baffled by the tiny orb of the mist's "harder to hit" property when put on armor.

[The Mystic]

Maybe it gives you a bonus to your dexterity? Then again, I wouldn't know, since I rarely if ever craft items.

[Dikiyoba]

After a very quick test, it appears the tiny orb of mist reduces an enemy's chance to hit you by 5% when applied to armor.

 

Perhaps when applied to a weapon it increases the odds of getting a second swing?

 

Dikiyoba.

[The Mystic]

Either that, or you act sooner in combat. Maybe it gives you +1 to quick action or something.

[Evnissyen]

Thanks, Slarty, and...

 

Yeah, the problem is that some of the items matched with either armor or weapon - I guess most specifically with the ivory skull and the orb of mist -- don't change any of the numbers on the stat screen and therefore it's difficult to tell how much of a difference it makes in the sort of area it's meant to make a difference in.

 

[Dikiyoba]

The ivory skull increases your chance to hit by 10%.

 

Which would make it very useful if only we could get it into a kyshakk's head somehow.

Simple, take a skull, then shape a kyshakk around it

I don't think so.

[Ale193]

Or you could simply jam the skull in through its ear.

[Archaeolagent]

I forgot about another thread where I had emailed Jeff asking about the obscure ones. This still refers to G3, but it might be relevant to G4.

Actually it would be very interesting if you could enhance your creations somehow, by feeding them special Shaper Scooby Snacks or something.

[Xelgion]

Or a system which requires you to feed you and your creations food and liquids every "x" amount of time, and certain foods would be worth "y" amount of energy.

 

ex. XCabbage Yamount: 3. XMedium steak Yamount: 8.

And lets say you had to eat 10Y everyday, different creations would have different appetites, imagine the difference from a drakon and a fyora. And also different kinds of special foods would give them a temporary bonus. "Your hero drinks coffee, -5 thirst, +1 ap for 10 rounds, then -1 ap for 5 rounds"

 

Get what I'm saying?

[Sudanna]

We already have many effects in the form of pods or spores.

[Xelgion]

Yes, but these pods and spores are required for you to live

[Sudanna]

Guess what? That would be obscenely tedious and not fun at all!
