Default New Mod: Battlemages

The purpose of this mod was to add a handfull of interesting and usefull, primarily artillery, human pretenders to the game.

Originally I had a different selection, but some of them did not make the cut and others did.

added are:

the puppetmaster
the bloodhound
the wind dancer
the ember mage
the reaper
the geomancer

save for the bloodhound, each has a unique ranged ability, most with limited ammo, that can be used twice per battle round.

You will notice differences between the first 3 and last 3, in the art, the first 3 where drawn by hand, the last three where adapted from photographs (hence the difference in quality) also the first 3 have familiars, the last three do not because their powers are "slaying" effects, and I thought giving them added functionality in melee wasn't necessary (and adapting photographs for familiars was kind of hard.)

take a look at it, tell me what you think

You know, I once a made a mod with the exactly same name, and you can even find it somewhere here.

But ah, I don't mind.

Default Re: New Mod: Archmages

The archive has two files. They share the name, so only one can exist at the \mods directory. It should probably be the newer one.

EDIT:
I looked through the .dm file. I'd tone down some of the abilities, like Wind Dancers defence. 19 is awesome base stat; 15 should do. Remember how the Vampire Queen was supposed to be just another chassis for cheap magic paths?

Not a bad mod. I didn't like the Bloodhound's description, though; a rapid dog is not that good a gift. The rapid beast should be what has become of his familiar after he received his infernal powers.

naw, the VQ thing was before my time.

I can change the name pretty easily, I had no idea there was already an arhmages mod.

Well, there is (proof here) but I don't mind.
