Goofy classes that can't, won't, and shouldn't exist.

Postby squirrelnest on Wed Jun 05, 2013 1:33 am

I was day dreaming today about some classes that don't belong in DD, but I like anyways.

Collector of Lost Things:
-Starts with pre-nerf platemail.
-Starts with pre-nerf Trisword.
-Starts with garden sheers.

Agnostic:
-Can worship any number of gods at the same time.
-Piety gain is halved.
-Cannot desecrate alters.

Calculator:
-Immune to all damage from monsters who's hp is a prime number.
-Immune to all harmful status effects while exp is a prime number.
-Gain bonus exp from kills while remaining mana is the same number as the monster's level.

Post yours! (This is a futile exercise in creativity, not game design. Balance shouldn't be a large concern.)

There should be some sort of "restrictions." It is said that limitations bring out the most creativity in one because you have to come up with new ways to go around a restriction.

That being said, I was playing the gnome quests and I had to use IMAWAL seriously for the first time in my life. Probably something with that, but I don't know how to base a class around it without making it too OP. I want this to work bad with Mystera and work with TT.
Sculptor
Stone Master: Start with the IMAWAL Glyph, IMAWAL costs 1 less MP
Import Marble: Casting IMAWAL causes a random wall tile to disappear. Costs 1 gold to cast IMAWAL and provide a temporary 10% magic resistance.
Vatican Commissions: Creating monster statues grants piety, destroying monster statues through any means (KB, ENDISWAL, Binlor) triggers a piety penalty.
Swan Song: Converting IMAWAL gives you a 50% att bonus and makes your damage unresistable.

The last one is the only way to give some combat adequacy to the class.
Unrelated, how come there is nothing that grants temporary magic resistance? Is it because it would break the way in some way or something? Seems like MR is the rarest element on Earth.

Lol, mana resist is much easier to get than physical resists. Trust me.

Ninja
Lightning Speed: Starts with GETINDARE.
Lightning Reflexes: You gain an extra 5% dodge when you use GETINDARE.
Night Warrior: You get a 1% damage bonus for 4 covered tiles on the main floor.
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

The other day got Smacklefunny's subdungeon and coincidentally a certain song was playing on tv, resulting in an epiphany for a subdungeon that can't, won't, and shouldn't exist:

Smacklemore's Thrift Shop
Items for sale:
Broken Keyboard (2g): randomizes your glyph effects but not name or mana cost (ie casting IMAWALL ends up fireballing)

Velour Jumpsuit (1g): grants first strike, increases all damage received by 1 per level

Kneeboard (1g): 10% physical resist, hitting an enemy knocks YOU back

Grandad's Clothes (2g): increases level by two, converting it reduces level by two

Big Coat (5g): looks incredible, dazzling enemies (slows them upon attack) but highly flammable (increases magical damage received by 25%)

RKelly's Sheets (1g): smells like pi$$, causes enemies to flee (makes them cowardly)
