Was just wanting to post this before I forgot or lost track of it all ^^; have played a bit with some of mud but haven't explored everything and haven't done much with the vampires either still...
I just thought maybe I would post a bit with what I thought might be fun with werewolves and maybe a tiny bit with vampires...
One thing I was hoping for was maybe a buff of sorts and maybe specific debuffs even so they aren't too over-powered? Noticed that being a vampire didn't really help much at all or maybe what they got weren't included in the affects list... Not really sure what kind of goodies might be planned but maybe traditional would be easier? Having flight, pass door, mist form, etc might be good? Or maybe theming them? Vampires more caster related and werewolves more fighter related, so the vampires would get buffs that would help their casting or even give them a mana buff, and then the werewolves would get more physical or combat buffs or maybe even a health buff? Thought it might be neat if they got some additional skills to use like maybe a claw and bite for the werewolves or enhanced senses or regen.
Thought it might be kind of neat if the werewolves were affected by the moon too, they could force themselves to change any night but on the full moons they would be forced to change? And maybe there could be a sort of transformation that could also act as a warning of how long until they changed? Could be kind of like:
You feel strained and confined within your body.
Your skin feels itchy as coarse hairs push out of your skin.
Aches and pains build up within your body as it transforms.
You feel your ears pull out into points and move up the sides of your head.
Your nails darken as they slide out and sharpen into claws.
Pain fills your face as it begins to stretch and distort.
Your bones crack and pop while your spine stretches outwards.
The hair develops into a thick fur on your body.
Your hands and feet crack and pop as they stretch out into paws.
The soles and palms of your feet tickle as thick pads form on them.
You snarl involuntarily as your face pulls outwards into a snout.
Your canines lengthen as they sharpen into fangs.
Your nose grows rough and black.
Your tail sprouts fur becoming bushy behind you.
A series of cracks and pops echoes through your body as the transformation ends.
You raise your snout and howl loudly at the moon! (for anyone in the area it would say: A wolf howls in the distance. or maybe even have the character holler or shout a howl?)
Or maybe just a transformation message right when they change instead?
Not sure if it would be too much but could also have it so some of their armor gets torn up in the process if they are wearing any at the time?
Mmmmm well were just some ideas.... I hope they don't sound too bad or weird? ^^;
