235, Orc Shaman
Posted by Skessan on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I would love to see Orcs able to choose Shaman. The system would have to be designed so that if an Orc Chose Shaman during creation they would have one choice of shaman type after creation. Such as Paladins can choose a focus for fighting style, the shaman would be able to choose between "Standard Shaman" and "Ritualistic Shaman". The Orc would only be able to choose the latter "Ritualistic Shaman". Which would be designed to work with their severly lacking wisdom/Intelligence. They would have to gather certain totems and other things to perform their "Rituals". Some of the rituals would take time to prepare and supplicate on others as well as some for their selves. They would retain the ability to specialize like berserkers do when they reach a certain lvl. I have seen some Orc Shaman NPC's and think they play an integral part of the Orc Clan. They would make a great addition to the Orcs and Playable Class/Race Combo's.

We've kicked around the idea of witch doctor's for orcs at some point, but I don't see any of that coming about until the shaman revamp finishes.
