Description:

A Necromancer is a member of a clan of mages who study the origin of life. Through their studies, they have determined where life originally began. They withhold this information from the general public, feeling it would be abused far too often for them to control. Though Necromancers rarely use their powers for evil, when they do, it is heard about everywhere.

--------------------------------------------------
Summons: Necromancers, because of their training in magic, are naturally weak. So they create powerful allies for combat. All of a Necromancer's summons will attack his/her enemies, as well as anyone who attacks either of them. All summons earn exp for their master (Only 1/2 normal exp though.). All summons’ attacks are treated as fighter attacks based on their caster’s level.

Create skeleton: Mana cost:20
Requirements: Level:5, Cost:5000 gold
Command: /cast create skeleton
Due to their training and understanding of life, a necromancer can create a small number of skeletal servants. (Up to three.)

Skeletons:Skeletons are upgraded according to the Necromancer's level. (See below) Skeletons are the backbone of any Necromancer’s expedition.


Skeletal Warrior:
Levels:5-9.
HP:30, Str:12, Dex:12, Wis:9, Armor:10, Base damage:1 (Short Sword.), Attacks once per 15 secs.

Skeletal Warrior:
Levels:10-14.

Summon Ally: Mana cost: 20
Requirements: Level: 1 Cost: 5,000 gold.
Commands: (set ally) /allyset (cast) /Summon ally
You must have full stamina to summon allies.

Allies:
Allies are similar to skeletons in that they serve unquestioningly, but the similarities end there. Allies are far more powerful than any skeleton, they also have special traits that make them invaluable assets. Allies share their caster’s magic resistance.

Black Dragon:
Some of these beasts have aligned themselves with necromancers in an attempt to gather more power for themselves, in doing so , they have accomplished their goal, but, to their surprise, they have also become loyal to their necromancer counterparts, and enlist at guilds to find a necromancer companion.

All Black Dragon companions have an acid breath attack which they use randomly (15% cumulative chance to use the acid breath instead of a normal attack. Chance resets when attack is used)

Golems:
Golems are the necromancer’s old standby guardian. There was once a time when Necromancers had to craft their own Golems, but as Necromancers grew in number, the guild found that by providing their members access to these powerful servants easier, more would be convinced to join their ranks.

Homunculis:
Required level:1
This small, almost human-looking creature is fairly weak and not very good in a fight.
HP:75, STR:75%, DEX:100%, Armor:4, Base damage:2 (Sharp teeth.), attacks once every 10 secs.

(has 60% chance to be attacked in place of necromancer)


Shadows:
Shadows were some of the first servants of necromancers, back in the day when they were overlords. Now, few Necromancers use shadows as servants though their use is still prominent due to their obvious advantages.

All shadow’s attacks damage both Mana and Health, and return 25% of damage back to the necromancer as HP and MP respectively. Shadows become invisible 2.5 secs after being revealed (by vision or when the shadow attacks.) If they do not attack they can remain invisible indefinitely. (The necromancer can see all his allies.)

Apocalypse: Mana: 100 Stamina: 5
Requirements: Level: 30, Cost: n/a (quest item.)
Command: /apocalypse
Long ago Necromancers turned from the worship of demons and death, to the study of life. This spell is one of those which was forbidden by the high council of mages. There were some who ridiculed the majority for turning from the dark arts, the best known of these would be Aet’thol, and Zanitos. One of whom has solidified his allegience to the darkness by allying his soul with the dark powers. It was Necromancers like these who took the last demon gems and hid them in order to tempt future necromancers into darkness.

Broken gem: This gem looks to be nothing more than a badly broken gem with only a slight luster. It looks to be of no real value.

/library broken gem:
As it turns out that gem you picked up is a part of one of the gems hidden away by necromancers long ago. It is actually called a Demon gem. Though this is only a shard.

/library Demon gem:
These gems no longer exist, as you read on, it seems they were used to - The scribe takes the book you found. “This book is needed elsewhere.” and walks away.

Demon gem shard: (This is used to learn Apocalypse.)
This broken obsidian gem appears to have no value, except for the feeling of evil emanationg from it, and your knowledge of what it is.

/library Demon gem shard:
As you quickly read over the tome you see sections stating that even the smallest piece of one of these gems would still be powerful.

Players would not be able to use the demon gem shard until they did the appropriate research. Because doing the research would reveal what it is.

By using Apocalypse players would instantly summon into being a Lesser Demon.

Lesser Demon:
HP: 50,000
A Demon! Run away!!
Attacks once per 3 secs.
Can heal itself for up to 10,000 every 6 secs (Does so at half health.);
Base damage: 70 (Depraved claws); Immune to mortal magic;
Special abilities: Crushing despair: reduces all stats of one opponent by half (useable every 9 secs), Hellfire: deals 100-170 damage (useable every 15 secs).

Paladins gain resistance of 80% to a lesser demon’s attacks and damage. As well as gaining a 150% increase in their own attacks and damage against the Demon.

Lesser Demons usually start off by biting the hand that freed them. (I.e. killing the Necromancer first.)


(Lesser Demon Idea was entered to entertain people who really like demons and evil things. I would like to have the Paladin bonus on there, but I doubt even the demon will be put in.)




There, done please give me feedback about any ideas/concerns you may have.
Comments are also welcome if they are logical.

[Cule]

ok ill be the first one then ...

I think it has too much summons.

Otherwise looks pretty neat

[alone]

Sweet mercy mother of holy ....

Long post, sorry I didn't read it all. Afraid I'm against any new class.

Anyway, Nightmist will no longer undergo any major changes.

- I just read the Lesser Demon thing. No.

[Cule]

I think we have enough classes to work on ...

edit: nice idea tho

[Terence]

I think we have enough classes to work on ...

edit: nice idea tho

100% agreed with Cule

[Squee]

This idea blows all the other classes out of the water; not power wise but on overal "goodness".

...And I think it's that very reason why it will never be added. It's kind of sad, actually.

[menardi]

lol when i read it i became speachless probably took very big effort

Nice job but i dont think it will be added...

[Julius]

You put alot of effort into it I can see, but you did too much, sad to say, but when you look at everything else, the necromancer seems like it would be fun to play. Best bet to see that guy in a game is to make it yourself

The ideas are good though, you did go really heavy on summons and things, the dragons you took right from AD&D it looks, but its very thorough.

The Lesser Demon..would own any party I could put together. Doesn't seem to fit its 'Lesser' title. that would be like fighting, hmm..Satan's right hand man.

Still, good work, just too bad we won't see it.

*forgot this part, HP/MP gains are pretty high, and not well balanced. A Necromancer will have the same, or more HP than a fighter, that leaves no reason to need thugs. So to make it actually balanced to be comparable to other classes, your necro would need about half his legs pulled to give him balance, though he would be pretty nasty as a solo only class, similar to pacifist, but the exact opposite. hmm...

Edited by Julius, 02 October 2004 - 02:00 AM.

[lowmion]

Congrats on so much effort,

I agree with Julius on this one, what he's said I'ld just be repeating.

Love that Pacifist's would be 'Balanced' by their 'evil' counterparts.

Nice Idea

[Charon]

Love that Pacifist's would be 'Balanced' by their 'evil' counterparts

Though Necromancers rarely use their powers for evil, when they do, it is heard about everywhere

In the light of lowmions comment it suggests that description would need to be changed for nightmist

Rarely use their powers? This is pk central we're talking about here:

"Though not all Necromancers are evil, great hoardes of them are. They are frequently heard of, and give their more neutral comrades a bad name- mere mention of a 'necromancer' strikes terror into the heart of people everywhere because they are terrified of their scary summons"


And on to constructive criticism

I personally despise the "Blade of the Apocolypse"
Partly because having a weapon and a spell sharing a name is strange, though that isn't really it- Its also not because I hate the weapon- I just hate that name... when it all comes down to it its just a weapon. Not only that its a weapon that isn't actually all that impressive and can be used at Level20.
I'd say "Blade of the Apocolypse" is a bit of an overstatement ^^;;


The allies and summons...

I think if one chooses to create a Bone Lord they should not only be unable to take other Bone Lord's around with them, but should perhaps forsake other skeletal buddies altogether

With the Dragons/Golems/Shadows - I got confused when you started switching HP to percentages.
(I also think and Ancient Black Dragon should be higher up than a Black Dragon Lord but thats just me.)

Im highly tempted to say those things are too powerful anyway. I don't know if they are really, they don't read particularly terribly, but my gut instinct says they're too powerful.


The idea of Apocolypse/Lesser Demon goes against your entire opening statement about Necromancers. You say you put it in to "entertain" people who like evil things-
If you want your Necromancers NOT to be used entirely for evil why encourage it?

The Lesser Demon is overpowered... not to mention that it is extremely nasty- if it existed, I don't care how rare that gem would be SOMEONE would seek it out- probably quite a few someones. Of those few some would obtain it and some would learn that spell...

Even if it were just one Necromancer (would be be appealed against due to "unfairness" but anyhow) that thing would slaughter almost anything, especially when it will likely be unexpected.

Sure a Necromancer might summon it so his buddies can have something to kill while they wait for a boss to spawn but most will use it for utter slaughter

And to think it can be summoned almost anywhere provided you have enough mana- can you really IMAGINE the chaos that could be caused by someone summoning that during a boss fight or just outside the gate of a town?

Hypothetically- say a Necromancer summons it, then survives long enough for those five stamina to regain- perhaps he has a particularly helpful cleric friend healing him as the demon hits (hypothetically CAN other characters heal the necromancer?), perhaps he some macroed some advanced healing potions so he could use them real quickly. Then, also hypothetically the Necromancer uses an Advanced Mana Crystal.

Now picture that square as that evil glint appearing in his eye as he summons a second.

NOW how much fun is it for the people who thought it was amusing to fight a moment ago?
NOW how much fun is it for the people attempting to leave Nightmist/Arilin/Blackthorn- or wherever those things have been summoned?

I'd imagine it isn't particularly fun



I've been really down on your idea- I'm sorry.
In your credit you have put a LOT of thought and effort into it and it shows. Your Necromancer is well thought out, well described in most cases... its statted.

I applaud your effort I do

I just... still think its overpowered

Edited by Charon, 02 October 2004 - 09:51 PM.

[Vanilla]

Wow, a lot of thought must have gone into this. I like it... a lot. Nice job.

[jurian]

nice idea but i dun think we need another solo class and i dun think jlh or anyone else is willing to add it since jlh sais he won't do much work on the current version of nm (atleast at this point in time)

but if we get a new class i'd either like a necro or monk class which isn't a solo class.

[Stigmata]

Nice work - well thought out suggestions for spells etc.

Unfortunately it's extremely unlikely that a player will be asked to develop a new class/race, purely because you don't know the details behind making them work.

Everything would have to be balanced etc, and would require alot of work from JLH.

[jurian]

but a player can give the basis idea cuz we need a new class!

[Stigmata]

lol yes a player can give the base idea, but it's been done plenty of times before and nothing has been added.

I'm just trying to save you some time lol.

I admire the creativity and thought that goes into something like this, but the truth is so many other things need to be considered that players have no idea of, that it would require alot of time from JLH/pan - therefore they may aswell do it themselves from scratch to ensure it works.

[green_mantis]

The only reason I put the lesser demon in there was, truthfully, to make people not ask for a demon summon.

If I had the proper tools to make the necromancer possible I would gladly make it, even if it cost me a year of my life.

BTW i will look at the percentages and check the balance of them.

[Stigmata]

I understand that you would be willing to do everything in your power to release a new class, and you can check all the balancing issues you can - but it still won't make a difference. Take my word on it. The truth is if you want to release a class it'd have to be on your own game because there are too many issues (as stated before) that you have no idea about that are extremely important to get the balance right.

Basically you'd either need to become a programmer, then convince JLH to let you help him code it (not going to happen) or you could convince him to spend lots of time looking over the ideas and making sure they would work (not going to happen either)

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news so to speak, but that is the way it is. As I said before, nice ideas and a well thought out post.

Perhaps you could spend your time writing up monster/item/spell descs - something that doesn't need to be balanced and can be added by JLH quickly.

[Gaddy]

Ya, basically players have to suggest simple things such as commands and modifications to small things; otherwise they must have a staffer help them with it (areas and such)...as for classes, I've never seen a player suggested class added. Though I've only been around for two new classes being added; the rest may have been here from the start though.

[green_mantis]

anything needs input from the people who use it. Whether it be a new class, for a RPG/MUD or a new capability for any consumer product. My point is, even if a necromancer does not get put in, i will always campaign for it as long as there is an internet and my heart still beats.

[Stigmata]

Supporting the idea for it is fine - and if you wish to keep suggesting it then thats up to you

I'm only advising you that your time could probably be spent helping to develop other areas that won't require JLH to help out so much. Monster/area/item descs etc. It's obvious you have good intentions and the community will appreciate that, but it's a shame to see such time go to waste when you could be doing other things to help improve the game.

[Sourcream]

ifs thats the case then necros cant join Clans or parties
because it wouldmakethemway toopowerful.Refine some of your summons oand it might work. im not shure why necros where taking out of nightmist in the first place but seems this could work.

Support

[sayadin]

your head must hurt after all that thinking of trying to put the necro into nightmist. I must say it is very outstanding job on the necro, but too much summons, also it would be kinda powerful in the nightmist world....

[green_mantis]

Everyone knows that only one aly would be active at a time right?

Also, the command to set the ally would be either
/allyset Black dragon, or /allyset Golem

the allies are just a string that gets more powerful as you level, just like the skeletons.

[Bun]

im totally for this idea because we do need a new class expcally a single alt class like a necromancer/enchatanter and considering it is a single alt class i think the summons are ok once u get rid of the lesser demon dont forget this charcter has not party nor nothing else to help it but its undead friends i say go for it

[Bun]

i could have so much fun with that spell

[Terence]

i like i like but prolly end up like that orc quest war suggested by zelimos..

How about you need to choose what ally you summon. Like when druids choose thier morph.

I could be wrong, but I think that's what he meant by this:

Everyone knows that only one aly would be active at a time right?

Also, the command to set the ally would be either
/allyset Black dragon, or /allyset Golem

the allies are just a string that gets more powerful as you level, just like the skeletons.
