When fatigue hits and is successful on moves drain, also drains 20 moves directly

An edge where if the target is both cursed and damned (from the shaman, not some other source) the target has a decent % chance to fail teleport.

A choice to make wither hit dex rather than str.

Targetable damnation (this would be one with some prereqs, hard to get)

Drow only, while either fervored or aristaed, semi decent dodging (not like having the dodge skill, but decent)

When afflict hits, a semidecent chance to trigger an prexistant poison/plague to fire. (I.E if I afflict somone I already plagued, they take a plague move/mana loss)

Increased afflict damage

Afflict has a minor maelidictive effect on SVS.

When in combat with the opposing alignment, if blessed, increased mana regen.

When in combat with the opposing alignment, if blessed, mildly increased hp regen.

Mildly increased parry

Fire giant only, increased melee damage

Scavenger - Increased benefit from scavenging bodyparts and added scavenging effects from eating orc-made steaks.

Requirement: Decent scavenging skill.

Edge: Smooth talker - Panhandling is twice as effective as normally(either double money or half the timer).
Requirements: Charisma 20

My thief Ulthanius was built around panhandling, so I thought an edge for beggars would be nice too.

Edge: Master butcher - Being able to dry meat for storage, master butcher is able to make pemmican steaks or dried meat(whichever you prefer to call it.) that are as nutritious as normal steaks but weigh less(maybe half of normal weight or so).

FYI, I'm generally tossing edge ideas that require adding new commands or arguments to existing commands at this point.

Are the rest of them generally of the power level you have in mind for edges, or am I completely on crack?

I'd say, if not perfectly dead on, they're at least similar to kinds of things we might come up with.

Not that I'd actually do like 8 different aristaeia edges unless they were all mutually exclusive, but, you know. :)

Well it seems to me aristae is the most obvious supp that doesn't make sense tactically for a shaman.

If I need healing that badly, im probably going to die anyways, and they probably are still holding their weapons. fle; qua teleportation is probably the right answer there.

If the have dropped their weapons, so the added dam roll will help me, they are in the process of dying anyways, and I probably have better options to try and seal the kill.

I've used it in situations where I couldn't teleport, couldn't word, and my moves were too low to run away, also while ranking, but for such an expensive, high level supp it has always bugged me.

Maybe I'm just not that good with shamans :)

I'll agree that aristaeia is relatively niche. In PK, personally, as a shaman I'll use it on other people a lot more often than myself. Warrior groupmate in a raid is entwine and about to go down? Here, take 300hp and some damage and stuff.

If you're a not-especially-mana-starved shaman build and have a group competent enough to take advantage of it without dying, it can be awfully nice for ranking or mob-killing also.

Also good if, for whatever reason, you absolutely don't want to flee. Also kind of niche but comes up exploring or fighting in certain locales.
