I'm more interested in Demons path RTD really. It seems more interesting, I dunno.

[IronyOwl]

That would make 2-3 interested in the demon one versus one interested in the dark lord one, which I guess isn't too surprising.


So I guess now the question would be, "What exactly sounds so nice about a mutating demon RTD?"

More specifically, should I go with literal mutations or just general increase in ability? There'd probably be at least some elements of both, obviously.

[adwarf]

I would say literal mutations based on how they player plays, and what actions they take.

[Dermonster]

I prefer tangible mutations over increases in ability while having both.

The more mutations you have, the harder it is to get more, but the more powerful they are.

They could also have more costly downsides

[Dermonster]

Maybe. *sniff* Maybe...

I'd prefer this:

But instead, give us a few selections. Like, say, I'm sneaking around a lot. I don't want to automatically be given a mutation to have more silent feet, I want a mutation that allows me to turn invisible. Or maybe I'm swinging a mace around a lot. I don't want a mutation that allows me to stun enemies, I want a mutation that allows me to knock them back a few feet.

Maybe. *sniff* Maybe...

You don't like downsides?

Well, you're not alone. I don't like things with downsides either. I mean, for me, bad downsides usually seem much worse than potential upsides.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Agree with Tarran on branching mutations; Draignean gives similar options with perks in Dev-22 iirc.

[monk12]

Would anyone here be interested in another arena based RTD? I know there's 3 already but another can't hurt can it?

It'd probably depend on how you go about differentiating yours from the crowd.

[Noodlerex]

was thinking of future one Like in the TRON movie and also some form of sudden death... hmm may have to flesh it out a bit more

[IronyOwl]

Hm... so instead of mutating every time you roll a 6, you want to be given a list of options at certain intervals?

[Dermonster]

0-0

E-every time?

Do that!

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'd prefer the list of options myself. Maybe a combination of the two where every time you roll a 6 you get an option?

[IronyOwl]

So, as above but you're insatiably greedy?

Note that I'm probably going to want this to be fairly serious, so your dreams of mutating severely each and every turn probably aren't going to come true. Or put another way, which option do you want assuming the power levels end up roughly the same?*


*Note that since being assigned a mutation is (generally) less beneficial than choosing one, I assume the raw power of random mutations would be a bit higher to cover for potential uselessness or lack of synergy, but not by very much.

[SeriousConcentrate]

^^^ I understand. Maybe it should be an option for each player. There's the option of choosing from a few mutations every so often, or the option of getting them randomly but most likely quicker, sort of thing...
