#189, "New Necro/Shaman Malediction"


          

Dilapidate or Decrepify

Effect: Basic dexterity nuke on par with the potency of weaken at all levels. However, since the combination of the two would be particularly horrible against any melee class, I'd suggest that if they are both cast or communed upon a character, the second one will have a lesser effect.

So, if I am fighting a giant warrior and I cast decrepify first, I will drop his dex considerably. If I then realize that I should have cast weaken first, and then cast it upon him to make up for it, the spell's potency will be halved since the magic/power being utilized to achieve the affect is so similar. Basically, you gotta make it count, but it opens up some options.

As an additional tweak, it would make sense (and be cool) if this made movement a bit more taxing upon the victim for the duration.

I think with the dexterity changes we don't necessarily have enough dex maladictions in the game, but I don't that necro/shaman are really the people I'd be pushing this towards. I also agree that any of these will likely need to be tied together as nuking both strength and dex just makes things silly quickly.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

I coded up one thing roughly of this form a while ago, but it's a quest spell for now. I hadn't ever been convinced it was needed as an everybody ability, though I still could be.

When I say pick the ONE item you want and post it, I do really mean it. I want you guys to seriously think about what you want in the game, not just dump a ####load of ideas on the board and let me wade through them.

Then you you post this, and then follow it up 3 different times asking if you actually posted it (not to mention the other things you asked for). To put it bluntly...you're wasting my time.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Delete the #### and move on. It takes all the effort of a slight flex of your god damned finger.
