Warlock: Star Pact

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:
- implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
- the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
- the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Warlock: Star Pact

Post by Dreams » Mon Aug 12, 2019 2:19 am

Now that haks are here, I wanted to suggest a new Warlock type: Star Pact. This is a thematic suggestion with a couple of bits that could be cool to see, likely other people have more to add for balance or theme.

The Star Pact deals with the greater evils of the unknown and Far Realms.

Some spells/abilities it might pick up:
- Evard's
- Lore as per Bardic Knowledge (rebranded to forbidden knowledge)
- ESF: Divination
- Thematic idea: Damage type or abilities that change with the IG month, to represent different constellations or movements of the moon, etc.
- Power Word spells (or variants of them)
- Apotheosis into an aberration
- Fear spells
- Possibility to go insane, maybe scripted, maybe just RP tips or dialogue feedback. Messages as if you're being scried, something watching or a presence near the character. Maybe debuffs or buffs randomly.
- Scripted visions that they see each time they rest?

I'm rejecting this, purely because introducing a new class on this scale is sadly beyond our development capabilities at the moment.

We have a lot we're doing currently, and creating new classes is labout intensive, and is very easy to get wrong.

If a developer approaches me about wishing to do this in future I'll reopen it, also feel free to suggest again in a few months.
