[Class Rework] Psychic Rework

Class/Lore/Fanfic
#1

Psychic (Blue Dragon Support)

Passive:
Call of the Dead: Speak to the dead at night

Day Ability 1:
Wisdom of the Dead: Send a message to all players. Can only be used while dead, 2 uses.

Night Ability 1:
Reanimate: Resurrect one dead Blue Dragon member as a Death Knight

Comments:
Psychic is a confused class, with abilities with no relation to each other. This will focus it on the dead, instead having interrogation powers like the prince, having private whispers (maybe better for Noble), and speaking to the dead. Wisdom of the Dead as replacement for Telepathy prevents Psychic from proving self while alive, and allows dead a couple messages with the living, even after Psychic is dead. Physician would need another ability in place of reanimate.

#2

Oh and while we are at it. Rename him Priest. We will make his converted version the Soulcatcher and give her 1 time night Immunity so she doesn’t die N1 and NOTHING BAD WILL EVER HAPPEN TO IT!!!

#3

Point being we had a class that was basically this called the priest. She wasn’t very fun and was very swingy so she was removed and her Ability’s were given to the Psychic and Physician.

#4

Spacificaly resurrection and talking to the dead. The other Ability’s were already on them.

Also the physicians replacement Ability is called Exhumain and it checks to see what class killed the target.

#5

I find it to not fun as dead if there is no Psychic, or Psychic is dead. How come the abilities work in 2 different classes if not in 1?

#6

Because any version of the Priest was either borring, swingy or OP.

Basically you can talk to the dead and resurrect someone once per game. She was also night immune once and had a day Ability that gives someone else night Immunity that night.

The problem is that if she isn’t guarenteed then BD misses out on that massive amount of power. If she is converted early on then it’s the same deal.

To fix this they tried making her guarenteed and unconvertable like Prince is. This made her OP for BD and ment they could gamesolve much like what happened with sheriff earlier.

To fix THAT they tried making her revive also suicide kill herself. However this made the class basically: Wait for Prince to die, revive him, Sit out the rest of the game.

The thing is that her revive was her only night Ability and a weak revive like what phys has and talking to the dead Isn’t fun for anyone that is alive. So she was removed and her Ability’s preserved through other classes.

#7

Basically I know this would not work because we already tried.

#8

Reanimate would res as DK, as Physician does now.

I also imagine it would be guaranteed, so dead Blue Dragon can always send information to the living.

#9

That’s weak and borring. Look and Toss medium. This is already nearly as weak as that. In other words this class is so weak that even in ToS it would be considered weak.

#10

Talking to the dead and reanimate are secondary Ability’s for a reason. They don’t hold up on its own.

#11

ToS medium is weak, but this has advantages. The reanimate is small I suppose, but the Wisdom of the Dead is a massive power.

The ability to know the results people had when they died is pretty powerful. It isn’t weak by any means, especially when you can out Possessor.

#12

Wisdom of the dead is a power that is only a bit stronger than what the medium has.

Also what about the illusionist?

ALSO WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE CLASS NOT BEING FOCUSED BY REWORKING IT AROUND AN ABILITY THAT WAS SLAPPED ON AFTER THE FACT.

#13

Remember. The Preist could do all of this and was STILL considered borring.

#14

Perhaps there is an ability that would suit Psychic better. But the current version is pretty bad as I see it. Link is basically a much weaker imprison, while Telepathy confirms itself. Wisdom of the Dead is much stronger because it announces to everybody, which means you are not screwed if you target evil.

Also, can you clarify which ability was slapped on after the fact?

#15

Talking to the dead. Also Private matters but that one isn’t as big of a deal.

#16

I’m reworking it on talking to the dead, because that makes the game more fun for the entire dead Blue Dragon. A secondary ability might help make the class more fun, but I think there needs to be a class that keeps the Blue Dragon engaged. Why do you think Medium is in ToS, or why Priest was made in the first place?

#17

Well ya. Why do you think they even bothered to slap the ability on there? Doesn’t mean we need to rework the class entirely. Unlike ToS classes can do thing outside of just 1 mechanic.

Noble, Hunter, Knight, CW, Drunk, Princess and Observer to name a few examples of other classes with Ability’s that don’t neciccaraly match with their main one.

#18

The main mechanic of the Psychic BTW would be anonymous communication.

#19

Oh and while link minds can’t Occupy. Imprison can’t NOT Occupy.

#20

Plus. Do you really want to go back down to just 1 social class for BD?
