Title : vampire changes again
Lots more changes, more coming.
Firstly, I'll give vampires a switch over to a clan of their
choice once things settle down. Only I will do the switch, do
not ask another wizard and you can only be switched once. If
you don't want to wait until I'm done changing things, then
you'll be stuck with the switch.
1: All vampires now get the spear skill. After all, vlad the
impaler? come on!
2: Dracula vampires now get +10 to all weapon skills and +20
to spear.
3: Kronos vampires now get +40 regenerate *AND* their regenerate
heals more than it reduces in sps. So this means it's not
as much a 1:1 ratio.
4: Kronos take an additional -10 to LIGHT damage.
5: Kronos now take 4 rounds to shapeshift instead of 2 like
all other vamps.
6: Kronos shapeshifting is free!
7: Kronos can no longer shift to beast form.
8: Kronos takes damage in DAYLIGHT. That is, DAYTIME (see the
'time' command to see Tsunami weather time). It's gotta be
(a) outdoors, (b) daytime, (c) bright. So you should be able
to fix this with some dark globes. Might be an interesting
war tactic here. YOU CAN DIE FROM BURNING IN THE SUN!
I'm not able to test the sunlight bit because it's night right now
so I'll test it tomorrow. :) Hopefully it won't bug too badly.
If you can't tell, I'm going for Kronos being this hugely
defensive vampire. They already get +defense, +invul type
stuff and now they can shift to mist for free, regen faster,
etc. I do not want them to be heavy damage hitters so if you
testers see that, let me know. I'm wanting to see wars like
500 damage done, 2500 damage taken from these annoying as shit
to kill vampires.
There's 1 more or so change coming to Dracula probably tomorrow.
Rhyser are gonna get something really cool, a new effect (like
auto combat mes and autocombat dread for strahd and phobos
respectively). It should turn Rhyser into fast damage beasts
but ones that can't take very much damage. I'll post about
that once I code it up.
