Reaver: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:53, 27 December 2022

Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.

Reavers have an assortment of powerful, but highly situational, conjurations to draw upon when their skill in melee is insufficient. They start with a simple weapon of their choice and leather armour.

Reavers are warriors who learn Conjurations (destructive magic) in order to complement their deadliness in combat.

Starting Equipment

Some species may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.

+0 weapon of choice (short sword, [hand axe]], spear, short sword or mace)
+0 leather armour

Starting Skills

These are adjusted by your species' aptitudes.

Chosen Weapon's Skill: 3

History

The reaver background will be reintroduced in 0.30, with an entirely new set of spells.
Reaver was removed in version 0.8. This verison could start with the Book of Conjurations (Ice) or Book of Conjurations (Fire).

-The [[book of Conjurations]] (ice) contains [[Mephitic Cloud]], an excellent battlefield control tool useful into the mid game. Also, the Ice school grants a good mix between defense ([[Ozocubu's Armour]], [[Condensation Shield]]) and offense ([[Throw Icicle]] for early-mid game, [[Bolt of Cold]] for mid, and [[Freezing Cloud]] in the late game), which makes it a great element for hybrids.
