Ok today I made my final decision about skills and spells.<\/p>\n

It will work this way:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. all races can be any class. some are more inclined to be casters than fighter, but they will be able to be good fighters anyway<\/li>\n
  2. there will be 3 main stats: hit points, mana points and fatigue.<\/li>\n
  3. there will be 2 main classes type: fighters and casters. Plus some hybrid like druids or skirmishers that can do both.<\/li>\n
  4. The fighting classes will use fatigue to use special attacks that learn automatically as they level up and that unlock based on skills or attributes. Example there can be a special attack called “Swing Strike” that will require slashing skill >20 and dexterity > 10.<\/li>\n
  5. The casting classes will have the spells based on their deity. Each deity has a set of different spells based on different aspects. So you will have a wizard dwarf that will be specialized in nuking opponents and create magic item for example. Or a human that can cast protective and self-empowering spells.<\/li>\n
  6. For the casting classes, they’ll have restrictions based on the skills of a specific school of magic. Example, White Magic (the life magic) will include most healing spells from all the deities<\/strong>. Obviously the class healer will have more initial skills and will have a higher skill cap than any other class for White Magic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I think this system rulez, because each deity will have his own white\/black\/red magic and so on, leading to lot of variety in spells. That’s why also I made “only” 3 races in the first episode. Those 3 races generates 6 different subset of spells list, and each spell will be of one of the five schools below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    White Magic<\/font><\/td>\nWhite Magic includes mainly healing and empowering spells<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Black Magic<\/font><\/td>\nBlack Magic includes offensive and damage over time spells<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Red Magic<\/font><\/td>\nRed Magic includes a mix of offensive and self-empowering spells<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Yellow Magic<\/font><\/td>\nYellow Magic includes a mix of charming and summoning spells<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Green Magic<\/font><\/td>\nGreen Magic includes a mix of weakening and regenerating spells<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Blue Magic<\/font><\/td>\nBlue Magic includes enchanting items and speed control spell<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

    This way, the classical pure fighting classes like warriors will still have special attacks, based on their race\/skills, but won’t be able to cast spells. Hybrid classes like skirmisher and paladins (and probably future ones like bards\/rangers) will have both special attacks based on fatigue but also some spells based on their deities.<\/p>\n

    One thing is sure, will be a mess to program, even with just 3 races! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
