deep dwarf necromancer can't do anything #420

Open jeremygurr opened 8 years ago

jeremygurr commented 8 years ago

Apparently he doesn't have any spellbooks. What kinds of spells should he have? Keep in mind I am attempting to put dwarf fortress in the same difficulty class as slime, along with crypt and elf. All 4 will appear in forest and should have roughly similar difficulty levels.

Is there another necromancer in the game that we can pattern him after? Is there anything unique we'd want him to do?

Bolt of draining, vampiric draining would probably be a good start. Simulacrum?

jeremygurr commented 8 years ago

I think those are good ideas.

How strong should they be? Can monsters cast Haunt, and if so, would it be cool to fight something like that?

jeremygurr commented 8 years ago

they should be at the difficulty level of monsters in slime, crypt, and elf. I know those three are not at the same level exactly, but that's ballpark I'm aiming for.

Haunt could be interesting to come across. Since we want to expand dwarf to at least 3 floors, I think it would benefit from having as much variety as slime and elf do, which I think is a bit more than it currently has.
