Corpsecrafting:

https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/186818-magic-lore-necromantic-corpsecrafting/

 

Subsection: Fleshsmithing

 

Proposed Flesh Golem redlines: 

 

- A Flesh Golem may be instantly defeated by either crushing or removing their head, [2] heavy swings sufficing enough to sever their head or crush their skull.

- Due to their embalment, a Flesh Golem’s dead flesh is easily flammable. If a Golem is hit with a continuous stream of fire, they must have said flames extinguished (Either by rolling around, water or other means). Should it not be extinguished after [4] consecutive emotes, they’ll wither away into ash. It takes [2] emotes to extinguish or [1] emotes with assistance.

- If their flesh is struck by Aurum, the Golem would be stunned for [2] emotes, the lifeforce within them destabilized. This has a cooldown of [3] emotes to prevent stunlock.

 

Subsection: Reanimation

 

Proposed Reanimation redline:

 

- A reanimation may be instantly defeated by either crushing or removing their head, [2] heavy swings sufficing enough to sever their head or crush their skull.

- Due to their embalment, a reanimation’s dead flesh is easily flammable. If a reanimation is hit with a continuous stream of fire, they must have said flames extinguished. (Either by rolling around, water or other means.) Should it not be extinguished after [3] consecutive emotes, they’ll wither away into ash. It takes [2] emotes to extinguish or [1] emote with assistance.

- If their flesh is struck by Aurum, the reanimation would be stunned for [1] emote, the lifeforce animating them destabilized. This has a cooldown of [2] emotes to prevent stunlock.

 

Proposed Oculi redline: 

 

- An oculi cannot be a worn and must held.

- Due to their fragile nature, an oculi would break with [1] strike.

- If a necromancer’s speech is impaired, they are incapable of commanding their reanimations.

- An oculi may be no harder to knock out of your hand than a book would be.

 

Thaumaturgy:

https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/186820-magic-lore-necromantic-thaumaturgy/

 

 

General Redlines: 

 

Proposed addition: 

 

- Both Black Sacraments and Rituals must be taught adequately in roleplay, merely participating is useless in replicating necromancy’s chaotic processes.

 

Subsection: Rituals

 

Proposed Rite of Sealing redlines:

 

- A signed Tomb cannot be placed behind more than (3) iron doors or (1) mechanical redstone door and able to be accessed mechanically.

 

 

Archlich addition:

https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/186821-ca-races-necromantic-simulacra/

 

Proposed ability: 

 

Corpse Courier: 

 

Given access to a long deceased corpse, an Archlich may impart a portion of their lifeforce after [3] emotes, creating a means of communication and a level of separation between them and their lessers. They may inhabit this corpse to speak through when brought before a Heith-Hedran, requiring [3] emotes.

 

Redlines:

 

- An Archlich may commune through a corpse, either placed or left, so long as they know of they corpse they wish to speak through.

- An Archlich may have up to [3] corpses which they may commune with, each requiring ST signature.

- Once placed, a corpse cannot move and when communed with, their sight is hazy and warped, unable to make out faces or people although able to clearly hear their voices.

- When communing with a corpse, the Archlich must be before an ST signed Heith-Hedran, where they will fall into a stupor, entirely focused on their conversation.

- All communications are done through /msg.

- If combat were to ensue on either end, the Archlich would be snapped back to reality, stunned for [1] emote.

- This may not be used to temporarily take over other undead, i.e. Ghouls, Darkstalkers, Draugar, Archliches. Their bodies already possessed.

- This may not be used as a means to rally forces such as a bird, only serving as a communion between an Archlich and its servants.

- The corpse may be destroyed by crushing the skull of the cadaver.

- The corpse used must be a slain player's.

Swap the name of this to clarification on how necromancy already works and you got it G 

(with some minor changes)

(I lied before... there's major changes now)

[TreeSmoothie 4898]

Depending on how large the flames are, golems shouldn't take 3 emotes to extinguish + it can be easily spammed (via mundane torches, matches, etc). Same /w reanimations

 

For occuli, restricting them 2 solely hand-held objects is silly- ST have allowed worn objects so long as they're able to be torn off the same way (i.e. flimsy chain)- in many cases it's easier than trying to take something that's being grappled (and I also dont want 2 redo my cool glass jewelry). As long as necros accept the risk of ppl just being able to yank their occuli off it shuld be otherwise fine

[Damnit_Delmar 1048]

Honestly in agreement with tree here, I see no reason that Oculi can't be jewelry or some form of 'clothing'. Like a helm or crown, something that can be easily targeted or torn off. 

 

Otherwise, looks fine, ig.

In considering your feedback, I've added more nerfs. Thank you for your time

Add a cool down to this I suggest so it isn’t chained unless it is meant to be
