Suggestions for Minion of Moander #119

Open Shantu58 opened 6 years ago

Shantu58 commented 6 years ago

As posted in the thread over at Beamdog, the minor access to Water is very unfitting for minions as Moander instructed them to fight cold with fire and magic. So I'd propose minor access to Fire instead.

Minions should also be immune to poison and disease according to Faiths & Avatars, page 121:

Rituals were simple, and Moander did benefit its priests in one special way: Minions of Moander never caught a disease (including mummy rot and lycanthropy) nor suffered from poisoning no matter what they did. They could eat all manner of rotting food, mold, and the like, and drink water that had been deliberately poisoned or contaminated by decaying things and take no harm.

I'm not sure how OP that is, perhaps it could begin as a simple bonus to their saving throw vs Poison on low levels and get full immunity later on.

There was also a proposal that I really liked from Contemplative_Hamster that they could get focus access to both Plant and Affliction in place of the special abilities. It's really flavorful and encompasses what they are all about.

Excellent point. Will do.

That sounds fine. How about +2 at level 1, +4 at level 8, and immunity at level...14(?)

Oohh, that is cool. I don't remember what special abilities they have, but I'm fond of this idea. Let's mark this as a probably yes.
