Morning Star - Concept

[Puretie]

A rod with a metal ball covered in sharpened spikes on the end. Served as a great all-rounder in war, as the blunt impact worked great on wearing down heavily armored foes, while the spikes made short work of anything fleshy.

As for polar opposites (evil / good) variations, what if we just made 2 somewhat good and two really good variations for the opposites?

[Formalized]

If this goes in as is, it sounds a little too OP. Unless you're high up with your chosen god, maybe have some debuffs such as slower speed while holding it or slower swings. Alternatively, just make it really hard to get.

[cyberpwnn]

It wouldnt be that hard to get. The base model that is, there is a system we have been flowing where a weapon has two polarities.

Polar A (EXTREME) Polar A (minor) Normal Polar B (minor) Polar B (EXTREME)

Polar variations are much harder to get than the normal weapon, and it is even harder to get extreme polar weapons, for example https://github.com/ProjectOberon/Concept/wiki/The-Crusader

The Venerated & Damned Crusader weapons are very very rare, while the normal crusader is very common.

Also, dont focus on combat balancing, remember, this isnt bukkit, so the animation for a mace is vastly different than a sword or gladius.

[Formalized]

It just sounds too OP right now

[cyberpwnn]

What are you comparing it to? The crusader? I would say they are pretty close to each other.

There are damage types. A mace would do a ton of blunt damage, while a crusader would do slash damage

For example

Weapon	Damage Type
Crusader	80% SLASH + 20% PUNCTURE
Gladius	70% BLUNT + 10% SLASH + 20% PUNCTURE
Spada	70% PUNCTURE + 30% SLASH
Morning Star	80% BLUNT + 20% PUNCTURE

However armor has resistances

Armor Type	Damage Resistance
Shields	Effective against elemental damage + puncture damage
Light Armor	Effective against slash damage, blunt damage is unaffected
Chain Armor	Effective against slash & puncture damage
Plate Armor	Effective against slash & blunt damage

Additionally, we havent even gone over damage values, weapon "stamina" times, or even swing time. Finally, this cant really ever be overpowered... You are slaying monsters and bosses, not other players. This isnt kohi, this is an rpg.

Please explain what you find "OP" about it so we can fix it

[cyberpwnn]

Is the concept op? The name even?

tbh, i dont think i dont want another name other than the morning star.... ehem, @Puretie remembers.

[Puretie]

Please don't.

[cyberpwnn]

I know the truth about the naming here.

It needs to have a "smash" button
