| Summary | 0004023: Protection/Shielding Spells | ||||
| Description | From early on, I'm seeing lots of attack spells, a few utility spells (namely the day/night ones as well as shapeshifting) and a few in the mobility category, but no out and out shields. They can be of different types, such as screens that can mitigate some damage of specific (or all!) types or true shields that absorb a set amount and type of damage before dissipating. One could also vary these by duration-to-protection ratio, allowing for very strong shields that last only an instant or weaker ones that act as an initial buffer to prevent 'oopsies'. One could even have 'area denial' shields that impede movement of non-boss monsters or even static shields that protect an area from projectiles. | ||||

Oh yeah, we're definitely planning some shield stuff. It's been discussed with the alpha testers, and actually before, but never made it into mantis. Glad to have it here! |

I was just in a house where 6 or 7 dwarves spawned and dropped into a hole that was under the main path out. As I approached they all discharged AoE attacks - an anti-fire shield or some such would have been nice! |

Chris and I had a lot of e-mails going back and forth about this, but I never put it in here. Thanks for doing so. |
