#1922, "A whole bunch of new edges!"
|
Many new edges have been added to the game.
A dozen or so of these are imm-set rewards only, mostly cabal edges but a few that aren't.
I'll categorize the rest below according to the classes they're mostly for or relate to. Helpfiles for these will start appearing in the next few days, probably tomorrow because it's been a long night of wrapping this up. If you pray and ask why one of these doesn't have a helpfile and I'm still awake, I may bash you. As always, choosing an edge before it has a helpfile is at your own risk.
Shaman: Purity of the Righteous
Necromancer: Nightmare's Chilling Call
Ranger: Muckmaster Belly Rake Quick Rebound Expert Herbalist Fortifying Paint Lodestone Lightning Harvest Ironwood Sandcover Power Ambush Deft Ambush Ambush Focus Bolt From The Blue Thundercall
Druid: Herbal Regeneration Wild-Exalted Metamorph Herbal Focus Adept of the Great Cycle Beast Tamer Primordial Avenger Wildcaller
Conjurer: Underphase Passive Interdiction Precision Banishment
Shapeshifter: Contorting Metamorphosis Healing Metamorphosis Enlivening Adept Master Enlivener Girded Metamorphosis Gestalt Metamorphosis Anthropomorph Veins of Venom Eater of Plagues Survival of the Fittest Fortitude of the Crab Fortitude of the Rhino Fortitude of the Crocodile Extended Greater Enlivens Abbreviated Greater Enlivens Muscle Memory Go For The Throat Tearing Jaws Bloody Pecker Ricochet Skin Comprehend Avians Comprehend Felines Comprehend Animals Potent Transformation Deft Transformation Healthy Transformation Lesser Form Ferocity Lesser Form Hardening Flight of the Prey Cooshee Form Pseudodragon Form Hook Horror Form Cave Fisher Form
The last four of these require a more detailed explanation to cut down on confusion and questions. I'll post again on this subject shortly.

I think I've hit all the ones I missed on the first pass now. Let us know if you find any still missing.

It's not a big deal, but I would appreciate if you could add this help file when you get a chance.

#1923, "More detail: Form Swap edges"
In response to Reply #0

This explanation refers to the following four edges:
Cooshee Form Pseudodragon Form Hook Horror Form Cave Fisher Form
In addition to their other restrictions, these edges are mutually exclusive with each other.
The form swap edges are similar to Spin the Wheel and Roll the Bones in that they allow a shifter to exchange a particular kind of new and as-yet-unused form for a different form. However, rather than provide a different random form of the same focus and tier as those edges do, these edges instead provide a specific alternate form.
Cooshee Form allows an elf shifter to swap a 2nd tier offense or utility form for the cooshee form.
Pseudodragon Form allows an elf shifter to swap a 2nd tier air form for the pseudodragon form.
Hook Horror Form allows a svirfnebli or dark-elf shifter to swap a 2nd tier offense form for the hook horror form.
Cave Fisher Form allows a dark-elf shifter to swap a 1st tier utility form for the cave fisher form.
Although these forms (like most forms) have some cool combinations of abilities that make them unique, overall they are balanced with the forms they replace. You shouldn't be looking at cave fisher form and imaginging a dark-elf shifter stomping his whole PK range repeatedly with it (probably) -- it's not a quest form (although, like a quest form, shifters can't draw it randomly), it's about as tough as the other 1st tier utility forms.
I won't rule out the possibility that we will introduce some kind of form swap edges for shifters other than of these three races in the future, but at this time the idea is primarily to make elf and dark-elf shifters at least interesting. There isn't much of a mechanical argument for playing either at the moment; we'll see how much the prospect of getting forms you can't get in other ways changes that, if at all.

As a dark-elf shifter was next on my list of things to try. Shame it is for utility as the utility forms are some of those I would least want to swap for something different.
Also, does choosing one of these lessen the chances of a player receiving a quest form? (NB: This will likely not apply to me)
Is there a possibility of a dark-elf shifter getting one of the forms as a reward if they don't choose the edge?
-----Abernyte
P.S. Only seen a few of the options posted but the shifter edges look very good and tick the boxes of things I wanted.

Will the form swap edges for svirf and dark-elf be as expensive as the current STW and RTB?

They're that expensive or at least on that order of magnitude.
