Hrmm, this is a good idea. But I dont know how it could be 'scoped' into doing it justice..
I think if it was considered it should be something that would please eveyone.. maybe as follows.. ->
It would be nice for vamps to have a 'way out' maybe they get a bad malformation, or they use their purifcation to purify rather than gen up
, or mabye they get banished lol.. and get screwed.. if they or anyone got bit by a were.. they would get changed.
I think it should be a bonus extra modified race, not overpowered, not even that powerful, have a good balance.. if at worse case scenario it was just like the rakshas, but could wear gear in full moon just got a bonus to hp and damroll and all that stuff..
So.. I think it should..:
A) be different than vamps.. and be more like dragons
B) Be an optional mob done change *so anyone can do it*
C) should have negative affects and some positive that would.. make it fair and even.
---maybe this would be our option to not have everyone on the vampire band wagon--
So.. here we can have a mob that bites you, if you do something or bring him something, I dont think you should be draco... or skeleton, or ghost.. *he would just spit on you or something*.
So lets say this racial modifier does some things, first it checks for those, done and done.
Then if youre a vampire *it removes the vampire curse.. the modifiers all together, resists everything* and adds the were ones.. (oh and once you go were there is no going back to vamp, or to anything)
So.. you can be one of three.. once you do get bit.
WereBear
Werewolf
Werepanther
---if youre a rakshasha you should get werepanther automagically --

change rsistance slightly dark negative wind go up **-
change resistance slightly water drowning fire go down **-
when in changeform, hps go up slightly, hitroll doubles, damroll goes up slightly, gain 10 agi, 10 dex (doesnt go over cap)
When in changeform all races are more aggressive IE, get attacked more.. and sometimes can attack anyone at random (depending on if its full moon or not)
when in changeform all races gain the ability to use 'berserk', and.. don't require food or drink.
(this is just the beggining of a spreadsheet. But it would be something like this.. give it some.. randomness, let it be done by a mob.. and any race can do it within the reason.. and players CANNOT sire anymore.. lol, infact.. make the mob.. have a faction that you have to work up in order to do it..
Thats my two cents, I honestly doubt noone will ever go through the trouble to make this work. But if anyone ever considered it, this is what it should be about. I think other things need more focus than this though, and noone seems to care about this board! lol..
Anyways, at the very least, it would help balance out rakshashas sucking so much.. lol not being albe to wear anything in full moon is no fun for htem I bet, these guys should be able to wear everything like usual.
-Sye out
