Magical Essence

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Magical Essence

Post by MissEvelyn »

It seems odd that Magical damage is mostly reserved only for certain caster classes (warlocks and mages come to mind), and now more than ever the mundanes could use this.

The suggestion is this: Add Magical damage essence to the crafting options for Alchemists in the form of temporary and permanent essence.
The recipe could be made difficult (perhaps crafted with one of the rarer gemstones, like a Beljuril, for example) and the DC upped higher than the other essences, if the balance team sees need for that.

Allowing mundanes to add magical damage to their weapons in this way will bring their overall power up a bit.

This sounds nice. No idea why we never had them.

Approved.

Denied on meta balance concerns.
Magic is treated as unresistable for the purposes of the games design.
