<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Post<br /> |a=DR-ARMIFER<br /> |t=Re: new spells<br /> |d=12/18/2008 1:43:21 PM<br /> |n=5458<br /> |f=The Clerics (22) \ Responses to GM/Official Announcements (2)<br /> |c=r,o<br /> |p=Fiction / concept wise:&lt;br /&gt;<br /> {{PRel|Category:Versus Spirit Spells|SvSp}} roughly covers two unrelated fields: theurgy (manipulating divine energies) and soul manipulation. Spells that are themed around hindering, removing, or otherwise hurting someone&#039;s soul are going to be ineffective against the {{PRel|undead}}, since they have a problem with that organ.<br /> <br /> Design wise:&lt;br /&gt;<br /> We have ran &quot;X spell is better against the undead&quot; into the ground. Outside this context, many of you have lamented about the guild being pigeon-holed as undead hunters -- and, hey, I agree with you. Part of getting away from that is designing spells that...aren&#039;t meant for hunting undead.<br /> <br /> Taking the entire {{PRel|Cleric}} spellbook in perspective, my opinion has been that Cleric spell selection is in dire need of width more than depth: the few niches the spellbooks explore to some completion, they really explore. If we delve much deeper into undead hunting spells or direct defense spells, we risk loosening Durin&#039;s Bane. I would like to continue to expand the Cleric spellbooks sideways instead, exploring new or underutilized ground for what Cleric spells can do.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&gt;&gt;It certainly makes more sense that a spell of that nature would be more useful against a shambling mindless zombie than casting a {{PRel|Category:Versus Will Spells|WvW}} (cognitive trickery IIRC -- what&#039;s in there to trick?) spell.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> The zombie has some vestige of a mind, even if only animal intellect, otherwise it wouldn&#039;t be able to operate. The thing it lacks which makes it sub-human is it soul. Also, it smells bad.<br /> <br /> -[[Armifer]]<br /> }}</div>
