Title: Next GodSpire Creature?
Post by: 420 on March 29, 2005, 02:32:56 PM: OK, now for a serious (kinda) poll. I got a few new GodSpire creatures in mind but the ideas I have look like they will be pretty time consuming to implement. I couldn't decide which one to work on first and I thought I'd let the GodSpire community have a say.

I'm not providing any details other than "boss" put anyone with some healthy D&D knowledge or anyone with some of the D&D books can probably figure most of them out. I want them to be a surprise though, so you won't get anymore clues beyond this one:

Laogzed - Troglodyte deity

Alright, I await the community's descision and I'll just work on all the easy (non-AI) stuff meanwhile.

EDIT: I voted Baelnorn Demilich cuz Mo requested a demilich.

Avatar of Laogzed sounds cool :P

Title: Next GodSpire Creature?
Post by: 420 on March 29, 2005, 03:44:10 PM: Well I picked Baelnorn because they are elven Liches that continue to lead and educate their community. So they tend to grow in power faster than a normal lich.

Let's just say this Baelnorn started out good but the eons-long transformation into a Demilich has left it totally mad! A sad story indeed, better put it out of it's misery.

A question I need some community feedback with:

What is the max HP for everyones dueling casters? (cleric, wiz, sorc or druid)

This may or may not have something to do with or without the GodSpire creatures, or not!

Ha! I'll be damned the day an AI shall defeate me.

Max hp...around 1000 hp ...consider that a pretty hp buffed caster.

Looks like this poll is going to be close.
Much closer than the Destroy the Sun poll which I think was 300% in favor of 420 cartoonish super vilany.

Well we're about to find out I guess, I got sort of sucked into making the caster dueler AI and there weren't too many bugs to work out so I finished one of the creatures already.

I think the polls may have looked a bit different if Elessar knew that the demilich was going to be the caster and not the Alhoon. After all, most caster duels don't involve sucking out your brains.

So, I'm going to do one more check over the Baelnorn Demilich and upload it to Mo and we should see it after the next module update. If you're curious about the origins of a Baelnorn Demilich check out it's description.

The polls seem to indicate that a dragon is wanted, so a dragon it will be. I'll start working on it this evening.

Post by: 420 on March 31, 2005, 07:42:16 PM: OK, the dragon is now in its Beta test phase, ask cuchulaan or Elessar what they thought of it if you want a sneak preview.

I see the Avatar and Alhoon are neck and tentacle, maybe I'll work on them both after the dragon.

I'm also interested in hearing how Mo did against the Baelnorn Demilich, I think it's a great idea to allow people to spawn them for battle in the caster dueling area.

I was also thinking about giving people th option to spawn in one of the creatures for a team battle. Add a little more danger to the danger room. Which creature would be the best to cause havoc in a team duel?

Ideas? Comments? Pomegranates?

Heh, being able to summon AI creatures for team duels would be interesting for when there arent many people on.

Soon as i remake my mage, i would like to duel it.

Make the Avatar before tha Alhoon because i want to see what it looks like (unless it looks like a normal Trog)

Are Baelnorns supposed to simply look like normal Demi-Liches? of course there could have been a difference i simply didnt notice.

Ah! A challenge!

*rubs long thin mustache between fingers*

As for the trog and demilich appearances:

I didn't put any special visual effects on the demilich because I wanted too allow all of its casting and spell effects to be clearly visable since it's meant for 1v1 caster duels.

If I decide to use the trog model I will give it some visual effects to distinguish it from the normal trog appearance.

For the team arena maybe it could spawn kobold commandos, one on each side of the centerpiece.

The Alhoon or "Illithilich" is a powerful undead Mind Flayer. Have no fear, there will be plenty of brain sucking going on when he is finished.

The dragon uses a non-expansion model. Hopefully I will finish it tonight.

Post by: Maxou on April 06, 2005, 10:13:45 AM: I tried the Demilich . There's some good points and some negative points .
In 1v1 it's quite easy .Their dmg is low , really low ( 30-40 dmg a spell ) . It's immune to fod , but not to ice storm ( some ice immunity would be nice , hitting them only with isaacs ) . If it was human I'd say it's lacking of timing ( nice scripting btw I can imagine how hard it is to get an IA react with timing ) . That was the negative points .
THOUGH : I accidently made 2 mord instead of one on the thing to summon them , wich happen I did summon 2 of them . In 2v1 they're making a really good fight . One is dispelling the other one is attacking that's really good stuff . Their small size make them hard to aim with the mouse :P That's the positive points . Keep the hard work :)

Axiomatic Radiant Dragon

[attachmentid=117][attachmentid=118][attachmentid=119]

Aruxurathearvorelixen is Draconic and literally translates into "Beautiful Fire of the Platinum Deity". It is the name of one of the most powerful dragons in all the planes. Aruxurathearvorelixen, an Axiomatic Radiant Dragon, is a paragon of law and good, serving as the personal consort and avenger of Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon. She holds herself and others to such extreme ideals that non-dragon paladins find themselves targets of her wrath as often as fiends spawned from the Lower Planes.

[span style=\'color:blue\']Combat

Breath Weapon (Su): Aruxurathearvorelixen can breath a line of magical force that does 300 damage.

Frightful Presence (Su): Variable DC 45-75, failed will save leaves creature frightened for 4d6 rounds. Due to Aruxurathearvorelixen's radiance, most creatures are unable to view her entire magnificence, reducing the effectivness of her frightful presence.

Partial Concealment (Su): 20% Concealment. Due to Aruxurathearvorelixen's radiance, it is difficult for creatures to directly target her with a melee or ranged attack.

Radiant Defense (Su): Striking Aruxurathearvorelixen with a weapon will call down Bahamut's wrath on the attacker and anyone nearby.

Damage Reduction (Su): Aruxurathearvorelixen has damage reduction 20/magic.

Hover/Crush Attack: Aruxurathearvorelixen has perfected a type of crush attack that sends out a shockwave damaging creatures in a much larger radius than a normal crush attack.

Immune to Fear: As a Sacred Warder of Bahamut Aruxurathearvorelixen is immune to all fear effects.

Post by: 420 on April 10, 2005, 11:06:34 PM: Undead Hordes Unleashed![/span]
These undead creatures are almost always encountered in groups!

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']Petrified Zombie[/span][/span]
Undead

[attachmentid=122]

Ancient zombies that were never subjected to erroding environmental conditions can become as hard as stone over time. These slow but relentless creatures can almost be mistaken for stone golems if it weren't for their obvious intense hatred of anything living.

[span style=\'color:blue\']Combat[/span]

The Petrified Zombie is incapable of complex combat tactics and simply attacks the nearest foe with it's stone-like fists until it is destroyed.

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\'][span style=\'color:blue\']Time Wight[/span]
Undead

[attachmentid=123]

"The time wight is a terrible undead creature with power over the fabric of time. Time wights appear much as the humanoid creatures they were in life, but with pale skin and glowing eyes. They wear tattered clothing from the era in which they lived, which may include the distant future." - Wizards of the Coast

[span style=\'color:blue\']Combat[/color]

More than one Time Wight is usually encountered since it is often accompanied by both future and past versions of itself.

Time Jump (Su): The Time Wight has a ruthless cunning and can use it's ability to manipulate time to appear instantly next to it's prey.

Time Blur (Su): 30% Concealment. A Time Wight constantly shifts through time and is never exactly where it appears to be. Even True Seeing can't overcome this displacement effect.

Supernatural Speed (Su): The Time Wight can move through time faster than normal creatures allowing it to move with super natural speed and attack swiftly with supernatural accuracy. This speed hinders the Time Wights ability to do damage however.

Fast Healing (Su): +10 Regeneration. The Time Wight can shift it's body backward through time to instantly remove some of the damage from a recent wound.

Axiomatic Radiant Dragon

AC: 104
AB: 107
HP: 11800

I'm in the middle of upgrading the AI for the dragon, Chosen of Cyric and Baelnorn Demilich. I am going to lower the dragon's concentration so that it is easier to taunt.

I suggest team strategies when fighting the dragon. Casters need to buff fighters with mind protecting spells so the fighters can get in close to taunt and attack. It wouldn't hurt to have a Bard in there cursing the dragon too.

It has also been said above: The dragon is extremely vulnerable when flat footed.

I have upgraded the following creatures:

Axiomatic Radiant Dragon ("Aruxurathearvorelixen"): Changed the breath weapon impact VFX. The line of force for the breath weapon should show up now. Breath weapon is now used every 4 rounds. Dragon will no longer get stuck on placeable/tileset objects.

Baelnorn Demilich: Greatly improved caster AI. Spells now cast at the proper caster level (40). Metamagic now applied to some spells. Will now cast some epic spells.

Chosen of Cyric: No longer gets stuck on placeable/tileset objects. Has new "burrow" ability that it will sometimes use to approach it's target.

Petrified Zombie: A little bit smarter when choosing its target.

Have fun, I appreciate any feedback from casters who duel the Demilich. It can be summoned by wizards/sorc in Spell Hold the caster dueling grounds.

The Demilich is an ongoing project, as I watch more casters duel it I can enhance it's AI. At this point it should be very predictable, but I will introduce more randomization and more complex tactics in the future.

The epic spells are set to trigger when your life is down to a certain point, below 250 HP I think. Thanks for the analysis of the AI though I will work to improve it.

Would you suggest a slightly randomized AI where sometimes it will skip mantle to cast an offensive spell after it dispels?

[snapback]22829[/snapback]

Not randomizing the AI but ... ( I dunno if it's possible , I am a total noob at computer stuff ) making the AI more ... defensive , using her massive hp to protect her like : both of the caster and the demilich are unmantled , instead of going for an offensive spell like she usually does , making her wait a bit seeing if the human caster mantles up ( then she mantle OR dispell if she has like 100 hp more than the hp of the human caster ) , if the human caster uses an offensive spell she uses one too because it will hit .
Btw some ground spell would be good like fire cloud and the black tentacle thing :)

A question : Should I say "it" instead of "she" :D ?

Good ideas up there, I'll work on it. You can call it whatever you want, Demiliches are too ancient to really be affected by whatever gender they once were.

Finally got around to finishing off these 2 creatures while I was away. One is a new boss!

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\']Ephemeral Shadowswyft[/span][/span] [span style=\'color:red\']Boss![/span]
Outsider

Look out behind you 420!

The Ephemeral Shadowswyft is possibly the deadliest assassin in all the planes. No one knows how many exist or if it is a unique entity. Shrowded in darkness, silence and secrets, it is an enigma even to the other inhabitants of the Plane of Shadow.

[span style=\'color:blue\']Combat[/span]

Aura of Silence (Su): The Ephemeral Shadowswyft is constantly under the effects of Silence (as the spell). This is a Supernatural ability that can be suppressed or reactivated as a free action.

Self Concealment (Su): Because of the Ephemeral Shadowswyft's quasi-incorporeal nature all melee and ranged attacks made against it have a 50% miss chance.

Hide in Plain Sight: The Ephemeral Shadowswyft can use the Hide skill even while being observed.

Sneak Attack: Extra damage dealt to targets that are flat-footed, flanked or can't see the attacker.

Death Attack: Chance that a sneak attack will paralyze.

[span style=\'font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\'][span style=\'color:blue\']Spellstitched Alhoon[/span]
Undead
[attachmentid=453]

How to remove your opponent's brain in 3 easy steps:

1. Stun your opponent with a mind blast.
[attachmentid=454]

2. Wrap tenticals around helpless opponent's head.
[attachmentid=455]

3. Suck out brain, drop mindless husk. If anyone is still alive, repeat process.
[attachmentid=456]

Spellstitched Alhoons are the paragon of lichdom for Mind Flayers. In addition to the incredible power they gain from becomming a lich, they are further fortified with arcane power through the magical runes carved into their bodies. All intelligent beings fear the Spellstitched Alhoon, even other Illithids.

[span style=\'color:blue\']Combat

Undead Properties: Spellstitched Alhoons are immune to mind affecting spells/effects, disease, poison, Critical Hits, Death Magic, Sneak Attacks and Negative Energy Damage.

Lich Properties: Spellstitched Alhoons are immune to Cold and Electricity damage.

Spellstitched Properties: The runes covering the Spellstitched Alhoon's body give it Spell Resistance (50 SR) as well as unleashing a Lesser Missle Storm on anyone that physically attacks it.

Mind Blast (Sp): The Spellstitched Alhoon can release 2 types of psionic mind blast to stun opponents. The first is the standard cone attack employed by all Mind Flayers. The Second is a 10' radius mind blast centered on the Spellstitched Alhoon. Both types of psionic attack have a DC 70.

Extract (Ex): A Spellstitched Alhoon can automatically extract the brain of a helpless target within melee range, killing it instantly.

Weakening Touch (Su): A Spellstitched Alhoon can drain strength with it's touch.
