Storm talisman: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:06, 22 July 2023

Lets the user walk through the air as a raging, lightning-filled tempest. The user's melee attacks electrified and strike all adjacent foes. The user also flies, gains immunity to poison and miasma, and resists electricity. They can launch themselves as a lightning bolt, blasting through everything in their way. The damage and evasion granted by storm form are highly dependent on the user's skill with Shapeshifting. While transformed, any equipped weapons and armour are melded.

A storm talisman is a talisman that changes you into Storm Form.

Useful Info

When eVoked, a storm talisman turns you into Storm Form, which lasts until you end the form. Entering or exiting a form takes 5 turns.

Storm Form has the following effects:

Combat Bonuses

Innate AC: 15-18 AC, scales linearly with Shapeshifting past minimum skill. (+1 AC per 3 levels)
Bonus EV: +20-27 EV, scales linearly with skill past minimum. (+1.14 EV per level)
Unarmed Combat: 29-35 base damage, with added electrocution brand and cleaving. (+1 damage per level)
Blinkbolt: Bolt-targeted ability that deals electric damage to everything in its path, then blinks you to the end. Has a cooldown.

Resistances

Poison immunity
rElec
Innate flight.
Non-living: Unbreathing, lacks blood, immune to sleep.
Insubstantial: Immune to constriction / ensnarement, Sticky Flame, and petrification.

Restrictions

Melded Gear: All armour, weapon and shield. (Can only wear jewellery)
Suppresses many mutations. Species movement speed set to 1.0.

Storm Form has a minimum Shapeshifting skill of 21, below which you get an HP penalty. Maximum skill is 27, which is the cap on Shapeshifting itself.

Strategy

Storm Form is the highest damage form in the game. Shapeshifting specialists can inflict immense damage per hit, much stronger than even an executioner's axe.

This form is surprisingly durable. You retain your natural EV, and gain bonuses to both EV and AC. Even though Dragon Form has 150% health, because it is giant, it loses EV. When your only defensive skills are Fighting and Dodging, that isn't great.

Tips & Tricks

Like other forms, Storm Form benefits greatly from support magic, such as Ozocubu's Armour and Manifold Assault.
