ok, ok, one more. New Porfession ideas

[allstargoaly]

I forgot to mention...

Master Knights can only wear robes for the upper body. Can't wear heavy armor (like chail mails, breastplates, no gloves, no heavy shoes, and no head gear)

So basically he can only wear what Monks wear in wiz8 (Robes [U], no gloves, Suede Pants [L], Leather Boots, Cape of Stealth, no head gear).

I like the idea of a somewhat pacifist character (obviously not so pacificst so as to avoid travelling with dedicated killers of course

Perhaps
Lama
Piety 60
Dexterity 55
hitpoints: similar to alchemist
leveling: similar to hybrid
special abilities: none

Primary Skills: Redirection (an Aikido like martial arts skill that effectively functions like razor cloak with chance for KO + a personal missile shield -controlled by Str, Dex and Piety) and Meditation (an iron will like skill - think stealth is to reflexion as meditation is to iron will -controlled by Piety and Intelligence)

Secondary Skills: Stealth, Mythology

Spells: has access to healing spells, protection spells, and spells that induce conditions without doing damage themselves.

Usable items: no weapons, minimal armor (robes), may learn to thow items that induce conditions without directly doing damage. May use all protective items (amulets ankhs etc.)-

Edit to my last post -

I said 'Redirection' skill would be like razor cloak, but for close combat I intended it to be active when the attacker missed (not just when the attacker hits). So depending on the redirection skill level, some fraction of the attackers intended attack would be redirected at the attacker or an ally of the attacker. So redirection coupled with stealth or other AC enhancements is where this character does his/her damage. I suppose the skill could also be active when the attacker hit, with the effect of reducing damage somewhat less.

how about a sniper type of charecter? he would get a bonus when useing a modern weapon at long ranges.

this is a fantastic concept. it reminds me of a quote:

First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you win.
— Gandhi

he would be like a priest, except without offensive spells, melee, or ranged capabilities. he would be able to cast all the buffs from stamina, and have a natural eye for an eye, missile shield (that reflects damage), and razor cloak running at all times (personal only), which get more effective with his level. the more you fight him, the more you lose.

even better. why not have a sniper rifle be a new weapon. good idea!

mad scientist: combination alchemist and gadgeteer, uses alchemy spellbook and engineering. levels as a hybrid, gains spells as a purecaster. uses armor and weapons as a gadg. 25% bonus to engineering. minimums: str 45, int 55, dex 60, sen 55. would be able to mix grenade-like ammo for the omnigun, with better ammo as she levels up. for example:

level one: make sleep grenade from two faerie dust
level three: make acid splash grenade from flash powder and smelling salts.
level five: make noxious fumes grenade from smelling salts and sneeze powder.
level eight: make fire bomb grenade from cherry bomb and boom bomb.
etc.

ammo carried in personal inventory and accessed from "use" of omnigun.

Some mixes between existing character classes:
Shadow Rogue: a sort of mix between a ninja and a rogue, getting crits next to the rogue's weapons.
Shadowmage: a mage with stealth, but lower hit points

Totally new idea:
Diver: would be able to use swords, daggers and polearms, and could get a sort of missile weapon you use underwater, with the ammo attached by a rope to the weapon, so you would'nt have to recharge. And of course would'nt need diving gear.

reaper (like the grim reaper)

polearm speacialize
learns from divine, mage, and psionic books

critical strike bonus
has a scythe (new weapon idea)
can turncoat undead lower lv than he
can only be male
regeneration
can only wear robes
can cheat death
