In Reply to: Idea for new Defender power posted by Pendragon_Surtr on July 19, 2000 at 05:38:49:

I think that is a good idea for a Power.. but as they stand, I think they are underestimated in their current power. I haven't played a Defender so I can't comment on their specific abilities. I've fought a lot of them, though, and they are pretty formidable.

I like your idea, somewhat like the reverse of being bloodthirsty. But I don't think that the 'affects' should be that Simple. For instance, you have it like this...

affects:
power: defend modifies none by 9 hours
modifies dam by -10 for 9 hours

I think it should be something more along the lines of...

You are affected by:
power: 'defend' modifies none by 0 for 10 hours
power: 'defend' modifies none by 0 for 10 hours
power: 'defend' modifies dam roll by -5 for 10 hours
power: 'defend' modifies hit roll by -5 for 10 hours
power: 'defend' modifies hit points by 150 for 10 hours
power: 'defend' modifies save vs spell by -10 for 10 hours
power: 'defend' modifies armor class by -20 for 10 hours

The first affect with 'none' would be the sanctuary. The second affect with 'none' would be that they would be sort of entrapped and NOT able to move until defend wore off. This would be the drawback of Defend.. a big drawback. Obviously those values would have to be worked out by level, skill in the Power, and such.. but I just wanted to illustrate my point that it should have a lot of affects attached to it.

> I know, it won't get implemented, but think it would fit into the defender role. Defenders should be the ones that soak up damage but don't do much damage themselves.
> So this new power "defend" would add a sanctuary affect on top of the resist, but would reduce their dam roll.
