I'll be plague doctor if that's alright.
Done and done!
In other news, we had
@Ruin and
@Gentleburd just flat-out show up.
So let's go over some of the newer arrivals.
Ruin's new class is a damned strong supporter. She starts off with a modest heal that also treats bleed and blight, as well as a minor stress heal. She's the first character with an ability that cures horror, too - a fantastic boon to have! However, it's her true form that's fucking terrifying:
Her alternate form is so terrifying it causes horror to our party, and while her damage isn't high, she's
loaded with debuff and powerful status effects. She has a very nasty blight, to boot. At camp, she can soothe or use her monstrous form to help the party by sucking out poison and disease (though this raises stress). A solid alternative to AnOminous, our main Abomination thus far. Like an Abom, she can't be partied with religious characters.
The Cataphract is like the bastard lovechild of the Crusader and the Jester, zipping back and forth in a fight and inflicting damage, and with a party heal that sort of sucks but is still servicable. Here
@BillionBisonBucks uses Onslaught and does a back-to-front row charge, obliterating a skeleton using his ghost horse.
The fucking Thrall is terrifying. Massive damage and bleed with every strike, with the downside being that
he makes fucking Burned Man look accurate. He's very finicky but between powerful blows, bleed, a bleeding riposte (SERIOUS), and stuns, he's a damned solid fighter that plays like high-stakes roulette. His camp skills are fucking ridiculous, though. More on that later.
No one's volunteered for her yet, but I noticed something about this buxom beauty that immediately made her amuse me: She's a fucking Castlevania reference. In addition to a whip, her alternate weapons are a throwing axe, dagger, holy water, boomerang, and a special item that stuns enemies. Goddamnit. I see a lot of potential here.
Bob's Axe marks targets, but her melee strikes are unique in that she clears marks off, but does TONS of bonus damage in the process. Almost all of her abilities create torchlight, and several of her abilities let her manifest her divine fire. While she has meager damage output normally, she becomes a battlefield horror when equipped and used right.
More soon.
