New race?
 

As I wrote in dioxides post. Please reply if you find this thread annoying since i already replied in another thread. I just thought it might deserve its own thread.

How about a plant *roar* monster (:rofl:)? If not it seems like it would make a great LQ monster (Granted you remove some sillyness)

Spells
Metamorphisis
-Increased Healing
-Increased Mana

Transformation
In an essence it basicly has naga properties, changes to higher plant forms.

Requirments - Levels (5,15,25) Requirment #2 - An item, or a frequent usage of an item, I.E. Water, or perhaps carbon dioxide and sun? Requirment #3 - Must find a mentor (Perhaps a ancient wisdom tree) to teach it, preferably hidden in a really complicated quest, just find one of tesh's that should do the trick.

Enviournment Bonuses
If I remeber right I there is a night and day code in the game, perhaps skill metamorphisis could be toned down significantly once the sun has gone down. Also fighting on grassy terrain they should get some sort of bonus.

Please understand, that this is merley a suggestion. Also the changes are permanent (By which i mean a transformations).

Sorry. Lol. No thanks...

As always players tend to create overly powerful characters... i am guilty as one as you are now too bullsaxe

Sorry. Don' like it. Also overpowered... Too overpowered... XD

Here is my thought on a new race. Kind of like the plant monster you talked about but I based it more on the dragon in Crossfire and Naga. (had it written down before reading this post.)

Blood
A demon that can assuming new elemental forms.

Starting Stats(The starting HP and MP should be changed)
50hp +5 each level
50mp +5 each level
3 skill points a level
+2 regeneration
weak darksight
see invis

It starts out able to assume 4 forms: (forms don't have recoil)
Normal-Start out in it. Nothing bad or good about it.
Fire-Added fire damage(along with other fire bonuses) and weak vs water.(releases light)
Water-Added ice damage(along with other water bonuses) and weak vs water.(effective water walk)
Earth-Greater resistance to melee(along with + to Strength) and weaker vs magic.Another effect is slower movement.(dig and excavation will do great damage to this form)

The forms are changed by typing (assume <form>) exa. assume fire

It takes time after changing a form before you can change again.(To prevent spamming)
<Your form is still unstable you have to wait before you may change again. wait 30 min>
Death will cancel this effect and put you back into normal form.

Form timer is set up as such: 30 min when level 1 and 40 secs taken away each level after.(time scale should be changed)
Level 1=30:00
Level 2=29:20
Level 5=27:20
Level 10=24:00
Level 20=16:00
Level 25(hof)=12:40

P.S. some of it is also based on a book I read 2 years ago.

Even more overpowered... -.-

If we are talking about races,.. we totally need a gnome race,undead,troll

Thank you, Ariful, for taking your time to think out your suggestions, they were thought provoking and very indepth.

why thank you :)

-.-

Chance of new races coming out : Chance of Binyamin kissing me

Chance of wizs programming an idea Arkwor : Chance that I will write ONE word

Another New Race
 

This may or may not be viable, but as Morphan said, the chance of a new race being coded is unlikely anyways. Here it goes

Bird type Creature (perhaps eagle or falcon or owl even)
Hp: 40 +4 per level
Sp: 60 +6 per level
3 skill points per level
Starts with fly, like a pixie. Practically immune to fear.
Loses cut (talon) attack if weilding shield or wearing boots.
Cannot wear shield with boots.

Attacks slower than a halfling, but attacks twice per hit. Once with stab damage according to unarmed (with the beak), and once with cut damage according to unarmed (with its talons).

2 unarmed (from natural ability)
2 dodge (from natural ability)
1 spirit travel (from natural ability)
1 meditation (from natural ability)

I'm rather fond of this idea, maybe its not great but please let me know.

I really hope that was meant to be a joke, because it is hilarious.

Maybe it is a joke, but your picture is a cat who can scratch an armored titan to a pile of bones. Is this so ridiculous in the whole fantasy MMORPG scheme that is wyvern? And really Zeofar, this is the suggestions page do you need to be so immature as to flat out deny an idea and consider it a joke? Someone comes up with an idea, if you don't like it, tell them why you don't like it. Use some imagination if you're going to call it a joke at least.

The "pile of bones" armored titan corpse is just a placeholder because they don't have custom corpses. Ideally, it would just show a collapsed armored titan like most other custom corpses in the game.
As far "scratching" enemies to death, I do agree that there are some problems reguarding scale and fighting monsters (How should even a paladin with a sword be able to kill an armored titan?), but some of it can be resolved with imagination. Rakshasa are most likely also using more than just "scratches"(Really slashes and rakes - They, like the big cats who use somewhat unfocused attacks, can probably disembowel a man), but a variety of martial moves, including palm strikes and kicks(If Rakshasa really don't have hands, punches are unlikely).
As for me not liking your suggestion: The idea of a bird-race such as the Kenku or some other race of bird men is not personally repugnant to me, it is rather the context which is amusing. In the chatbox, we were just discussing the amount of people who suggest a bird race (with a vague description like "hawk or eagle or something"). To add to that was a vaguely strange detail (two types of attacks, not unrealistic for the creature), which are commonly seen thrown in with new race ideas. Also, in a classic forum-newguy move, you posted it in an unrelated topic.
I was almost certain Arilou had made a new account just to post this for fun.

I am sorry for my assumptions, and as for my forum new guy "ness" it is true i am new to the forum but perhaps not so new to wyvern. And where else to put a new race suggestion topic other than in the suggestions thread under "new race" along with the other obsurd ideas. Not to say my idea is any better than the others, but i do like the idea of a 2 type attack.

No problem, just thought it might be helpful to see my point of view. I do see that what I said may have come off as rude.

As a note, on forums, people typically make their own threads for their own ideas(Some people make one for every idea, some post several in "their" thread, some make topics for their monster ideas, spell ideas, and race ideas) unless there is a stickied(pinned permanently at the top of the subforum) thread that says "post all ideas here."
