Poor Pantheon of Neutrality, never getting any love when people (myself included) start dreaming up skills for the more flashy Liabo/Lornon dichotomy.

Won't someone think of the Zelians?! (And Aeia, Arachne, Ghezresh, Gosaena, and the Huntress.)

Paladin 1625 armor bonding

Level 1: +1 wisdom bonus, sanctification
Level 2: +1 wisdom bonus
Level 3: +1 wisdom bonus, permanent and reactive guiding light flares
Level 4: +1 wisdom bonus
Level 5: +1 wisdom bonus, permanent Faith's Clarity effect

This sounds amazing and something that will definitely keep me playing, but please don't make this for cap characters only. I like the game better in the level 50 range and would love to have lateral development like this! Maybe make it available/optional to anyone over level 20 or 40?

I really hope that the skills whatever they may be are not limited to class,race, and prof. Meaning anyone can train a skill so that we can really customize our characters. That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be skills that affect class spells etc. I would love to see an a system where if your character might take an increase to locking picking even if your not a rogue.

I see the ascension system similar to the tree pathways popular in many other games, plenty of options and your not restricted into what you choose, if your a warrior and choose to decrease a cool down on Ressing people or increased healing then so be it

Sooooo many things catch up on.. and a lot of great ideas. I really like the ideas that more/less creates the anti paladins ;-)


My suggestion since I'm under the impression that anything is possible:


1) Holier Than Thou - Paladins only.

Option A)

Basic: Gives the paladin access to Circles 1 to 13 of the Major Spiritual Circle
Elite: Allows up to level 26 of the Major Spiritual Circle
Legendary: Full Access to the Major Spiritual Circle


Option B)
I'm assuming that's possible. If not then...

Basic: 15 Spell Circle Knowledge does not count against you in regards to DFRedux
Elite: The above now goes up to 30 Spell Circles that don't count against you in DFRedux
Legendary: Access to the Major Spiritual Circle

Actually.. I think I like my option B Better


2) Divine Champion

Basic: Paladins now have the ability to "Guard" a single person that is grouped with them, much like how a warrior is able to. When the person is attacked, the paladin gets a chance to parry / block or take the damage instead of the person they are protecting
Elite: The paladin's armor now has +10 damage phantom padding
Legendary: The paladin is able to bond to an additional weapon OR their shield. The shield: Same rules as the weapon bond with the following exceptions: Instead of the Attack Strength bonus (CML) you'll instead get +2 Defense Strength per tier of the bond. Additionally, instead of a Spell being stored, the shield will instead give a TD defense bonus of 2 per tier.

3) Glutton for Punishment
Basic: While Divine Shield or Zealot is activated, all creatures in the room have a 25% chance to attack the paladin who's spell that is over the rest of the room.
Elite: Same as above.. except now it's 50%
Legendary: Beacon of Courage no longer is needed to be cast over when new creatures enter the room and is no longer just a simple warding spell. Instead it is now a "buff" that lasts for 10 minutes. While that buff is active, any creatures in the room and any creature that enters the same room as the paladin will have a warding check. If they fail the check, they will attack the paladin. In addition to this, they will also do their Combat Maneuvers, etc etc on the paladin.


Cleric Idea:

Clerical Blade - Clerics Only
Basic: The Cleric is able to swing their runestaff as if they had knowledge of Two Handed Weapon training. More/less their "runestaff training" = their Attack Strength if I'm making sense. (This is the only one I dont have a real good answer for.)
Elite: The cleric's armor now has +10 phantom damage padding
Legendary: The cleric has access to the Paladin Spell Circle


Mounts:

A) My Kingdom for a Horse!

Basic: The player is able to use their mount to immediately be able to teleport to the next town from where they currently are. They must do this from the current towns' gate They will arrive at the closest gate, mounted.
Elite: The player is able to go up to 2 towns away now as opposed to the normal 1.
Legendary: The player is able use their mount from their current location to ride/flee away the closet town so long as they are outside (ie: not indoors).


B) Call the Calvary
Basic: Players can now be mounted while they are in combat
Elite: Melee users can "Charge" 1 enemy in the room - a 2 second RT attack that also has a chance to knock down their foe if they hit them
Legendary: Stampede If grouped with other players that know Stampede, the group charges at all (regardless of the number) NPCs/Beasties, incurring 5 second of RT to the foes, and an attack on each opponent. If hit, they have a 50 percent chance to get knocked down. The group gets a 5 second RT.

I wanted to dream up an equivalent elemental version where wizards would have a bonus while the non-elemental professions (clerics, empaths, monks, paladins, rangers) can't learn it at all, but no other resource is equivalent to spirit... Either way, the point was to have something with an intense cost in exchange for intense power. So something in that vein for wizards.

Maybe using precious elemental essence for TONS OF DAMAGE or other utility instead of enchanting fits this bill?

I'd sign up for that.

You mean "even more" legendary? I still am in awe of some rogues' abilities to deal punishment to those who've earned their displeasure.

Sorcerer ability -
A passive ability that is always on where each offensive spell cast by the Sorcerer has a chance of cutting through the armor of the target. for that one cast, it's as if target wasn't wear any armor at all (no benefits from CvA, padding, etc.). % chance of activating can start out low and increase with each additional rank trained.

A series of activated abilities mimicking group spells at half effectiveness to the base spell (no accounting for ranks or lores). I'd see them as lasting 15 minutes, usable X times per day where X is the number of ranks trained in the ability, and each character can only learn one.

Bard's Inspiration	Activated ability to gain +10 AS and have a chance to reroll various actions at a rate of half the likelihood of if you had Song of Luck active. Does not stack with Song of Luck or Kai's Triumph Song.
Cleric's Inspiration	Activated ability to gain +3 AS, +5 DS, and +5 spiritual TD. Does not stack with Benediction or Warding Sphere.
Monk's Inspiration	Activated ability to gain 10% stamina reduction. Does not stack with Mind Over Body.
Paladin's Inspiration	Activated ability to gain +5% physical DF, -7 melee DS, and +15 melee AS. Does not stack with Arm of the Arkati, Guard the Meek, or Zealot.

And just something I randomly thought of:

Zealot's Blessing

Paladin only. Armor Blessing used by this paladin now grants +CS and +CvA (so a drawback) in addition to its normal abilities.

Three comments/suggestions from a Sorcerer's perspective:

(1) Persistent Demon Summoner. I would not likely invest ASC points in this legendary skill. Refreshing the duration of a demon is easy. The Persistent Animator legendary ability, in comparison, sounds far more desirable. To make a demon ability have comparable attractiveness, I would suggest adding phantom demon summoning ranks, which would count only for determining a demon's capacity for purposes of spell 725. If each rank of Persistent Demon Summoner added 25 phantom demon summoning ranks for purposes of computing coin capacity and 150 phantom demon summoning ranks for purposes of computing mana capacity (that's 15 mana for most demons), then the increase in a demon's mana and coin capacity would make it a more worthwhile investment. Even with those improvements, I'm not sure how many Sorcerers would invest points in it.

(2) Sacrificer. A Sacrifice boost would be a nice addition to the legendary or elite list. Here is a suggestion. Each time a Sorcerer uses the Sacrifice ability, there is a 20% chance per rank of Sacrificer of receiving a message allowing a second use of Sacrifice during the cooldown period. At 5 ranks of Sacrificer, there would be a 100% chance of a second use during the cooldown period.

(3) Marksman. Let the Marksman elite ability increase the chance that a Channeled bolt spell will hit a vital area.
