Dragual Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I haven't searched for any sort of creature that would take place of this creature but... The idea is simple. A high defence creature that shoots acid upon enemies which does Damage Over Time (dot). Bio- This is a common bug that, while at birth, was stolen from Loreroot and taken to Necrovion for experimenting that lead to the discovery of its very useful acids. These acids can only function properly when fired from the bug, so there for is useless to extract it. [u]Level 1- Infected Egg[/u] Does absolutely nothing. Stats. Def- 50 Att- 1 Reg- 1 [u]Level 2- Poision Larva[/u] Can target a single enemy creature and spew acid on it the does low amounts of damage but repeatedly over time. Stats. Def- 100 Att- 3 Reg-1 [u]Level 3- Acidic Bug[/u] Can spew acid on an enemy which now deals moderate damage for slightly longer. Stats. Def- 175 Att- 5 Reg- 2 [u]Level 4- Monstrous Acidic Bug[/u] Can spew acidic on multiple targets that deals moderate damage. Stats. Def- 250 Att. 8 Reg- 3 Obviously the stats can be changed. But this is the general idea. I'm sorry if this idea has already been mentioned or is already apart of the gameplay. The idea is not to exactly to change combat tactics, but to have one more creature for us to play with.

Kyphis the Bard Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 So basically, its like weaken in that it stacks up? ie, the first turn the creature takes say 5 points of damage, then the second turn it takes 10 (5x2), and so on? If so, the acid also needs a duration, say creature level in turns (since first level is an egg, it will always have at least two turns of acid when able to use in combat).

Root Admin Chewett Posted January 8, 2012 Root Admin Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 If it stops over time, Then essentially it just becomes an ability that "slowly charges up" the attack, until it reaches a point where its effect is stopping, but continuing. I think some kind of creature that makes the longer a fight draw on, the more damage and therefore easier to win quite intresting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengmingz Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Damage over time... interesting how this can work in MD. Should it have a natural attack and then damage over time on the side? Otherwise it would be just attacking but increasing power every turn. Can the bug turn into a cocooon then butterfly? C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is, that at level one it would last say, 2 rounds, at level two, 3 rounds and at level three, 5 rounds. But, of course all these numbers and stats are changeable to make it more or less powerful as per decided by Mur. Also, there can even be more levels of the creature; those levels posted above are just a general guideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seigheart Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Why isn't a butterfly suiting for Necrovion? Butterflies live in deserts. dst, Ivorak, Brulant and 4 others 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Could you explain why Peace? When I think of butterflies, a few things come to mind: a beauty often comprised of sharp angles and vibrant colors that would not suit other creatures, a apparent frailty that masks a surprising longevity and toughness (some species migrate thousands of miles, including long flights over ocean), probable toxicity, as well as the butterfly effect, so I think they are fitting. There could be a reason they are not suitable that I have missed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaya Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) I like the idee of the creature and I also like the butterfly idee actually. Butterflies are sometimes also seen as cariers of the souls of those who died to the afterlife. So a black toxic butterfly would in my oppinion make perfect sence in necro. But as an alternative a spider could also be used. Few creatures are related so closely to death as the black widow.

Soothing Sands Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 well it's clear this creature needs to be sturdy, as it's effect will only kick in after quite a few rounds. Either high def. or high vit, either will do. Butterflies, not so much. As for the type of creature, acid has generally been associated with weakening, i believe. Maybe a "bleeding" effect, which can be stopped by healing? (to give it more of a use in combat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRWander Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Perhaps something more along the lines of a cactus that does it in response to being attacked... like ti targets what damaged it last turn...and through the evolution sorta like a necro version of a walking tree Dragual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maebius Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Or like Mistletoe, a parasitic plant which likes to leech off other Trees. Or, in a similar vein, Striga/Witchweed, or Dodder([i]Cuscuta europaea[/i]) I like the moth/beetle/bug idea though much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragual Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Maybe a sort of snake? Those are found in desert like areas and are well known for their venom... But that would greatly increase the idea of initial damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
