I think that's a proper post in itself, I'll have to have a think about it.<br /><br />Though one think I would want to do is really try and capture the character of Skaven, the dirty cheating rat bastards that they are.<br /><br />Also I think it would be good to properly try and break the healer only heals bit. One thing I would definately do is make the Grey Seer a healer with moderate RDPS and excellent life tap healing, So less damage but much more healing than the current lifetaps. And absolutely no healing that isnt from a damage ability. So it's impossible to back line heal. A tricky one to balance perhaps.Bootaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857676039536372689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-62729716155081677342010-07-10T16:00:40.504+01:002010-07-10T16:00:40.504+01:00Sorry, I wasn't talking about what types of Sk...Sorry, I wasn't talking about what types of Skaven could be applied to what archetypes, I meant what speciality would those archetypes have?

I won't go into detail as its a long topic but quickly here are some examples...<br /><br />Stormvermin - tank<br /><br />Clan Eshin Assassin - MDPS stealth based rat ninjas<br /><br />Clan Skryre Warlock Engineers - RDPS Half magic, half technology, lightning guns and devious stuff.<br /><br />Poisonwind Globadiers - M/RDPS short range poison gas, acid throwing nasty buggers.<br /><br />Grey Seer - RDPS or Healer? Very powerful spell caster, lots of options. I would go with life tap and uber buffs.<br /><br />Master Moulder - A pet class, with swarms of rats and rat ogres and stuff... could be a healer, DPS, whatever<br /><br />There's a load more options too.Bootaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857676039536372689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-49890584225197523662010-07-10T12:58:00.242+01:002010-07-10T12:58:00.242+01:00I'm not sure if anybody has brought up this po...I'm not sure if anybody has brought up this point yet (haven't had time to read everybody's responses): if a new pair of playable races were to be introduced, what would each classes specialisation be? Mythic has already covered all the bases that I can think of in terms of role. For example, if you want to play a healer you have a single target healer (AM), a group healer (WP) and a mobile, supporting healer (RP). What would a Skaven healers specialisation be? Lifetap? If it was life tap, then what would the point of a Skaven DPS class? It would just be a Skaven healer with slightly more damage and no self-healing abilities.<br /><br />This is a genuine question, as I don't really know ANYTHING about Old World Warhammer lore (I'm a 40k fan).Burshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-66199028893764028522010-07-09T13:39:21.499+01:002010-07-09T13:39:21.499+01:00Bootae

Lizardmen and Skaven have a history of fighting each other, plus with the Lustria locations it's a real shoe in. It could have some awesome locations and careers available.<br /><br />But there's one huge and unavoidable problem. The first time someone walks their Saurus through Altdorf, communicates with and buys something from a merchant. In that moment the lore cracks right down in the middle in a huge and epic way.

I think it would be easier to bring in plot wise, be a interesting change terrain wise and fighting through dense jungles and through claustrophobic tunnels would be great fun.<br /> Would be easy enough to shoehorn in lore wise and they've always been from the lore a rival pair. Plus I think Lizardmen have been yammered after almost as much as the ratties since the start!Sarigs Nightreaverhttp://www.waraura.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-63194492871141397542010-07-08T18:20:58.962+01:002010-07-08T18:20:58.962+01:00Instead of a Trackback:
