MartialArts/ShamanStyle

From Exalted - Unofficial Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

So, this is a style based on Shamans in WoW. More info about Shamans can be found here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Shaman .

I have yet to decide much about it, but I'm making this page to remind myself to work on it.

I can't decide whether it should be Terrestrial (because it's elemental) or Celestial (because they're cooler).

The 'domains' of a shaman are

   * Elemental - improvements in offensive spells and offensive totems.
   * Enhancement - improvements in melee related skills and enhancement totems.
   * Restoration - improvements in healing and restoration totems. 

Maybe this is actually three separate terrestrial styles that can be blended together?

A healing style would be tricky though. Enhancement and Elemental would be easy enough, although shortening the huge list of spells shamans have would be tough.

Totems would also be hard. Maybe the form charms for each let you choose from like 3-5 totems you can place, with the more powerful only available if you have a higher essence.

Comments, Questions, and Help are appreciated and wanted. Especially for better names.


Another idea, perhaps the style is more like:

Element charm 1 Enhancement Charm 1 Restoration Charm 1

     |                   |                     |

Element Charm 2 Enhancement Charm 2 Restoration Charm 2

     \                   |                     /
                     Form Charm
      (3 bonuses to choose from, reflexively 
      change the user's bonus max 1 per turn)
       |                 |                 |
    Element 3         Enhance 3        Restore 3
       |                 |                 |
    Element 4         Enhance 4        Restore 4
       \                 |                 /
                     Tier Charm
               (uses all three domains)

This one would definitely be celestial, 14 charms too.
