Elementalist
« on: November 22, 2005, 11:04:59 pm »
I'm basing the elementalist on powers from an old cartoon, Earth Fire Wind Water Heart.  Whoever can name the cartoon gets a cookie.

Here are some thoughts:

Move earth (*shrug*)

Spark (Shadowrun)
Fire Bolt (Diablo 2)
Fire Blast (*shrug*)
Flaming weapon (Diablo 2 / D&D)
Fireball (Everything)
Summon wind (T&T)

Poison cloud (*shrug*)

Freeze (*shrug*)
Ice bold (Diablo 2)
Ice blast (Diablo 2)
Ice ball (*shrug*)
Ice sheet (*shrug*)
Ice storm (D&D)
Blizzard (Diablo 2)

Charm person (D&D)
Charm animal (D&D)

And of course, summon elemental spells
Summon [lesser/normal/greater] [earth/fire/wind/water] Elemental

I'd like a bigger list than that, though.  I'll go through my books and see what I can find.  In the meantime, if anybody can post more ideas, go ahead.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

sounds awesome :-) Id like to see more earth and wind based things. Maybe you can do something along the lines of an inferno? that would be pretty cool. Meteor shower wouldnt be a bad idea either. Maybe the ability to turn things into animals for a certain amount of time also. Some type of spell that invovles cracks in the earth summoning forth lava could also be nice :-). And for earth spells, some armor-type spell could be cool. For wind we could have something to knock down an opponent or something along the lines.

Sounds good, suggestion noted!  I'll have to get D2's complete list of spells, and stuff.  When I have some time.  Until then, other suggestions are welcome :)

To the rest of you -- GJ!  Captain Planet owned. :)

Your naming all the wow mage spells. GG.

Pyroblast can only be casted once every 30 seconds,
Only one person can be polymorphed at one time, and as soon as it takes damage, it reverts to normal.  Polymorph also increases health/mana regeneration
iceblock makes your frozen in ice, immune to all attacks untill cancelled or 8 seconds
Icesheild makes a sheild around you, absorbing 300 of any type of damage
Evocate is a channeled ability, if you take damage, it stops.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

thanks for the details :-), of course each spell will have to be modified to fit the game

Idea:

Change "Elementalist" to "Druid". 

Then we'll combine the Druid and Sorcerer classes from Diablo2, and add others.

That's a good idea!  A Druid is basically a nature (Elemental) mage! :)

Exactly!  I thought of it first class this morning, and it's been driving me crazy all day :)

Plus I can give him animal-type spells and eventually shape-shifting spells (if he wants), which will add more melee.  HA!  Take that all you stupid magical players :)
