My idea is to give druids an incentive to level to 40 without having stamina be an issue.
Perhaps give look overs color codes or maybe their attacks like color the "claws" red or something.


Ethereal morphs- The idea behind this is that Druids, being attuned to the forces of nature and the spirits, spend vast amounts of time in the "dream" world or ethereal plane. Having done this the culmination of a druids life is the channeling of one of the Ethereal creatures, taking on the characteristics of the forgotten beasts.

I am using my level 30 druid as a template so here goes :

Look-over: Prophet is a Wyvern, With his massive size and fearsome wings, his presence strikes fear into all that behold him. His powerful legs are tipped with the nastiest of claws and his mouth is lined with razor sharp teeth. Scales line the whole of his dragon like body. He looks as if he stepped straight out of the most frightening of nightmares.

Attack would be: Prophet attacked a XXX with his Claws for 80 points of damage. (same as most of the morphs already)

Look-over: Prophet is a Lycan. He stares at you with his black soulless looking eyes, as if you are his next meal. Grey fur covers his elongated body, giving him a wolfish appearance. He drools as his tongue licks each tooth of his vicious maw. He looks quite threatening, but also beautiful in a cruel like way.

Attack would be : Prophet attacked a XXX with his Jaws for 80 points of damage. (same as wolf)

Look-over: Prophet is Shadow Cat. His vast size and pitch-black fur give you the impression of staring straight into an abyss. His features are difficult to see, but one thing you can make out in all the darkness is the terrifying creature's bright blue eyes. His image flickers against the background, making you wonder if he is actually there or just a dream.

attack would be : Prophet attacked a XXX with his Shadow Claws for 80 points of damage. (new)

Look-over: Prophet is a Roc. An amazingly beautiful giant bird of prey. His large brown eyes can spot you from miles away, making it easier to find prey in the mountain area's of the ethereal realm. His golden feathers glow brightly against the sun, faintly giving off heat from the magnificent bird. Although you revel in the bird's beauty, His deadly Talons make you weary.

attack would be: Prophet attacked a XXX with his Talons for 80 points of damage.




Please feel free to post what mythical creature you would like to see and or changes to the descriptions that i have already posted. Any ideas you have will be welcomed.

This would be a great addition to the game, but at lvl 40...thats a bit hard, id say either lvl 35+ or lvl 36+

[brewcrew]

true, i would lean more towards 36 than 35, but it is meant as an incentive to push that hard to level. I understand your sentiments though.

[Trendkill]

Great idea.

Grandmaster would be a good choice for this new "morph"

IMO this should be at "Legendary"

If it's at lvl 40 does it change at all or pretty much the same as a regular morph?

[brewcrew]

Probably stay the same, but maybe being "legendary Morphs" and druids only getting 7 stamina, the morphs should add like +5 or +10 ac on morph? Just some thoughts.

[Trendkill]

You and I both know we are going to get flamed when we throw ideas about more armor....or even a new spell.

If at 40 you were able to select a "Legendary" morph The new morph should be some legendary beast! A bonus somewhere is deserved for the achievement.

Still think they should just grant 8 stamina at 40. But staying on topic....

I dont want to be the Shadow Cat though. lol

[Freek]

I still like my idea. Maybe the mix of the two.

At 40 pick a morph that while morphed increases a stat by 1-2 for the duration.

Such as Roc giving +1-2 dex. Lycan giving +1-2 str etc.

[Trendkill]

Interesting...

Or like a second spell similar to Gaea's Blessing that will last the duration of a morph. But the idea of having a decision of a morph that gives +1 strength, +1 Dexterity, +1 Wisdom or +1 Charisma. Thats a big decision that the user would have to choose wisely.

Great idea but again...make them some Legendary beasts!!!

I still think they should get a 8th stamina or a new type of gaea's.

[brewcrew]

i like those ideas jordan

[Dangerous]

In the words of Lloyd Christmas "I like it, i like it alot"

[Tietsu]

Lycan is STR oriented characters in other games. But they have high agility also. And the change seems harsh, +1 STR for -2 Dex? Nah. One for one.


I love the idea though, very impressive.

[Autek]

I don't know about stat adjustments, that might be a bit OP, but I do like the different descriptions.

(Anyone remember when the server was first released, when all the morphs used to change stats?)


EDIT: Actually, I think stat adjustments could work so long as there are some negative adjustments as well (similar to Rage for berserkers).

EDIT 2: And by server, I mean the current multi server, old server being prereset.

I've always been a fan of adding more lore-oriented content to spice things up - so I'll play along!

Look-over: Prophet is a Griffon. His magnificent stance is denoted by His courageous and proud posture. Sporting the head of an eagle, and the body of the lion, His power is of unyielding contest. The strong rear-quad of the creature supports high galloping speeds, which are often-times accompanied by the spreading of the wings, to which the skies are met. From this vantage point, His talons can be utilized to swiftly stalk prey.

Prophet attacked XXX with his Talons for 89 points of damage.

Look-over: Prophet is a Kerberos. The three-headed hound stands before you, intently catching each of your subtle movements. The three heads of the beast shift asynchronously, allowing a full range of perceptional alert. You must not be weary of one, but thrice the stout jaw lines that salivate for the beast’s next meal.
*Note: I went with Greek-influenced spelling, opposed to the Latin-derived form (Cerberus) - because I think it looks cooler.

Prophet attacked XXX with his Vicious Bite for 111 points of damage.

I researched and scanned several lists of mythical beasts, and WOW, when you take into account the various cultures, from Native American, Japanese, Greek, etc... there are TONS of options. I decided to just pick two well-known legendary beasts.

Great idea Cody! Albeit the stat modification suggestions, this would not unbalance anything, instead, just add some extra flare!

[Apocalypto]

Good idea.. would be good with or without the added armor.

[brewcrew]

I would love to see staff input!

[brewcrew]

BUMP.........

[brewcrew]

Here is another idea for a morph:


Look-Over: Prophet is a Leviathan, His massive snake-like body is coiled, as if to strike. His golden scales glimmer in the sunlight, while his mouth waters for your destruction. His very presence invokes fear in people and animal alike. One look at his massive rows of razor teeth justify the Tales drunken sailors weave in the backwood taverns by the docks.

[Apocalypto]

Think it would be a good addition and probably wouldnt be hard to add. Considering jlh would like to do so.

[brewcrew]

Considering that 6/9 classes get their last stamina at 40, this is a great way to give incentives to druid users to level past 37. Staff input would be greatly appreciated.

[Elf]

I really like this idea for a level 40 addition
sadly it is not something I or other staff can add

But I am forwarding the idea to JLH and hope he agrees

Elf

[brewcrew]

Prophet is an Arch Demon. His humanoid body pulses with power. Great horns of crimson curl about his head as if he is wearing a dark crown. His arms are long and muscular tipped with giant claws that seem to radiate heat. His eyes display a darkness that is more than darkness, more like an emptiness that can never be sated.

[Apocalypto]

Prophet is a Werewolf. His tough grayish-brown coat is bristled fiercely atop His monstrous neck and down His long back. His broad chest and human like physic indicate he is a very powerful creature with great agility. His demon like eyes are nearly paralyzing when fixated upon you. Saliva drips from his razor-sharp fangs, which are set in an undoubtedly powerful set of jaws. He appears extremely ferocious and has sharp, jagged claw-tipped paws and he is in a healthy condition.


edit:could also call lycanthrope instead of werewolf, although i like werewolf better.
