Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

Epic Heroes Mod MP game appears to be winding down. It was a test for the Epic Heroes. Surprisingly, none of them were overpowered to a large degree. None had an effect on the mid or late game.

But some of the Epic Heroes were just not Epic-and need a boost. One of those needing a boost is the Obsidian Medium. It was created by Endoperez and is awesome, But I need help making it a bit of a thug. I was think of a unique stone weapon. Any ideas?

I like the description, very good.

Perhaps not what you had in mind but with 3.10, stone beings can use the stone sword with no chance of killing themselves, that would make him a serious thug...

Petrification is too powerful. But I am leaning towards:

#newweapon 981
#name "Bone Smasher"
#dmg 12
#magic
#bonus
#att 5
#def 0
#len 0
#aoe1
#armornegating
#secondaryeffect 232
#sound 21
#end

This will be a brutal crushing attack.

Petrified staff. Of course :-)

Re: Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

I think we have a winner!

Petrified Staff! It is going to be overpowered, but Epic Heroes are supposed to be well.... Epic.

Re: Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

aoe and armour negating seeems a little strong to me.

Re: Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

I still vote for a Silence Glaive.

Life drain, maybe feeblemind or something.

Re: Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

Dr. P has a good idea as well: Stone Glaive.

Yeah AN may be too much. AOE petrification is likely too much as well. Will have to se what Dr. P has in mind with a Stone Glaive.

I just love Endoperez' description of this guy. Classic.

Firstly, Seal Guards wield Glaives, so a unique hero sacred statue should wield a Glaive.
That's a +2 to everything Obsidian Glaive with soul leech (an area of effect life drain), by the way.
If you think that's too nasty, change it to 396 (leeching darkness) which is an AoE attack that also inflicts weakness.
If you also give him a buckler on his basic profile, this will discourage him from putting his unique weapon down in favor of something forged.

Deadly weapon in the hands of a lifeless unit! I gave it a sound effect and a graphic. Looks and sounds as deadly as it is. If this stays as is into version 1.5 Agartha will have a formidable thug to start the game.

Is it me or do those eyes stare back at you?

Re: Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

Eyes of madness...

MADNESS!

Re: Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

Madness?..

THIS IS SPARTA!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Sniff! My child (... I mean, my teenie little construct, well, not little, and not new either, but, you know, my IDEA...) is all grown up now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Nice to see the project still going strong. Also, Xietor, have you noticed the heroes Agartha gets with the new patch? I think the onyx oracle might have been inspired by this one.

Re: Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

I have not seen the new heroes. Your child is awesome, but he needed to be more of a thug it turns out after testing to be competitive with the other Heroes. Hope you do not mind.

I also raised the hps of your Bandar Log hero from 8 to 10 and raised his strength to 10 as well.

My plane leaves in an hour-have to run!

Re: Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

Disclaimer: I realize weapons already been created and my idea is too late. But I'll share it anyways.

Unique weapon for Agartha?
How about, 'Scepter of the Deep'?
Autocasts Darkness, grants Earthquake as a spell?
Obviously, you might need to tone it down.

Or casts Living Earth, or whatever that spell is that summons four/five earth elementals? Casting it for free (just 5 fatigue) on a unit tough enough to be placed on the front lines?

Re: Ideas for a unique stone weapon
 

Those are both cool ideas, but would have to be an item (not presently modable) not a built-in weapon, since built-in weapons cannot do these things.
