#41597, "Lesser Tara-bals"
Edited on Tue 22-Nov-11 01:58 PM

          

They're mortal progeny of fallen Tara-bals. They have wings, but their bodies are too bulky to fly. They have an inherent sense to protect the righteous around them from evil, so cannot join the Outlanders. They are naturally blessed by divinity and enjoy a longer life than humans, but each goodly creature, NPC or player, they kill brings them closer to damnation.

This should add a neat new flavor to the side of good with the possibility to become "Ascended" at level 51. Also, with so much riding on their righteousness, finding new, interesting ways to get them to accidentally kill good creatures will be fun for evils. Race would not be limited to joining Maran. Can join any cabal with good-aligned members, except Outlander, but not become leader.

Max Stats:
Str(21)
Int(22)
Wis(19)
Dex(22)
Con(20)
Chr(18)

The good:
- infravision
- Resistance to holy
- Inherent twitchiness when evil within pk range is near and either stronger than them or bloodied from battle
- based on above twitchiness, will put themselves in between an unseen attack and the intended target (ambush, blackjack, assassination, backstab) based on these conditions:
a) they're not leading a group
b) the person they're rescuing is a person of the same alignment
c) the assailant is of higher level than they are
- at level 51, based on their righteous deeds, they have the chance to Ascend.
- When Ascended, can sense evil in the same room as them, but instead of knowing who, it's just listed as "someone". Can also sense when that person enters or exits. Max strength becomes 24. Immune to holy damage so long as they don't kill anyone good.

The bad:
- loses morale if leading a group, gains slightly more morale than normal player when part of a group comprised of same alignment
- will attempt to intercept an attack no matter what their health
- cannot intervene when someone is not being directly harmed (i.e. being tied up by a thief, cannot untie the victim while the thief is there in the room), also cannot attack a good-aligned individual in order to wake them up
- lose "Ascended" for 100+ hours if kills someone good
- kill too many good and they lose their blessing and become weakened humans (all stats max 19, except charisma)
