Mage Knight 1.6.0

Adds the Mage Knight metaclass, and its six sub-classes.

Forum discussion thread: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=48329

Phoenix Knight: Powerful warriors who blast their foes with solar fire while calling healing light upon their allies. Their solar fire attacks will strike as either fire or light damage, whichever will hit their target the hardest, and their potent healing and cleansing abilities make them tough opponents to bring down.

Mind Knight: Psionic warriors who strengthen their mental abilities by tapping into their inner magic. Adept at telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation, they are mobile scouts who can quickly get a lay of the land and sow chaos among their foes with physical and mental debilitations, or even outright compulsions.

Storm Knight: Swift skirmishers who rely on extreme mobility and powerful lightning magic to strike their foes down and avoid reprisals. Extremely fast and difficult to pin down, they can cast entire enemy units into disarray with their wealth of area attacks. All mage knights can cast while they fight, but experienced storm knights are also able to fight while they move.

Earth Knight: The heaviest of infantry, earth knights hammer their foes with physical and natural forces while shielding themselves with the power of the earth. Highly resilient in the face of any attack, earth knights provide a slow and steady offense supported by powerful gemstone shields and the endurance of a living mountain.

Sea Knight: Healers first, fighters second, battle mages a somewhat distant third, while sea knights lack the raw offensive power of other mage knights, they make up for it with amazing personal defense and recovery abilities. And though their attacks may be individually weak, like the sea itself, they are able to wear down even the strongest defenses eventually, eroding their opponents away with gradually strengthening spells, making them terrors in a battle of attrition.

Mana Knight: Experimenting pioneers who do amazing things with raw magical energy. They have the most conventional magical training of the mage knights, even if they sometimes put it to unconventional use. Their arcane attacks can overwhelm the powers of other spellcasters, and while they lack the scope of power of full-fledged archmages, they are masters of the fundamentals of the various arcane schools.

Grove Keeper 1.6.7

Adds the Grove Keeper, a Wilder subclass. The Grove Keeper is pirmarily a mindpower-caster with limited summoning ability, but has the option to mix slings, or one-handed weapons and unarmed attacks, into their skill set. They are also able to become proficient with mindstars and focus wholly on mind-casting. Includes advanced class categories favoring either weapon-hybrid or mind-casting play style, with the advanced hybrid tree working equally well for ranged or melee.

Midnight 1.6.7

Adds two new shadowy Celestial classes.
First is the Moon Paladin, who fight using two weapons and the two moons.
Second is the Starslinger, who imbues their shots with the power of the stars.
Also two new subraces that start in the Far East, regardless of class.
Mardrop Humans and Star Elves.

Now with a new starting zone: Save the Sunwall crops from a worm infestation.
New second starting zone: The Tenebrous Glades.
Travel to the barely made training camp of Midnight via a jumpgate on the west side of the Gates of Morning, then head southwest.
The shadows summoned to conceal the camp have become restless and dangerous. Quiet them down and investigate what is working them up.

Currently there are nine new categories.
Celestial/Night: A utility based generic category that generates negative celestial energies.
Celestial/Lunar Combat: Powerful offensive talents invoking the power of the moons.
Celestial/Guidance: Some defensive and one offensive talents for Moon Paladin.
Celestial/Shooting Stars: Combines star magic with ranged weapons.
Celestial/Deep Space: Some high level celestial magic for Starslinger.
Celestial/Sigils: Shape negative celestial energies into traps.
Celestial/Glory: High level light magic for Sun Paladins and Anorithil.
Celestial/Moon Magic: Magic derived from the two moons of Eyal.
Celestial/Umbra: High level dark magic for Anorithil and Star Slingers.

It also grants Sun and Glyphs to Sun Paladin at 1.3 mastery.

Midnight 1.6.7

Heartstalker - Psionic Class 1.6.7

Adds Heartstalker, a psionic class themed around the subconscious, as a birth option. Heartstalkers are a stealth-oriented class that start with twin daggers. Confounding foes's perceptions with their strange psychic power, they weaken their victims from afar, unseen and untouchable, before drawing in close for the kill when they feel the time is right. Take care, however, for though your mind is a potent shield against hostile intent, the physical flesh it guards is exceedingly frail.

Heartstalker talent trees include:

Perception: Turn aside prying eyes to hide your presence!
Unconscious Mind: Draw power from the unconscious to erode and destroy the conscious!
Thoughtless Action: Lay cold steel to your foes faster than conscious thought could ever allow!
Biorhythm: Feel and regulate the pulses within yourself and your enemies to create and capitalise on opportunities!
Emotion: Play with and feed upon your victim's emotions to dull their senses while empowering yourself!
Depths (locked): Call upon strange powers from the root of the mind to overwhelm foes!
Memory (locked): Omit, modify, and dupilicate memories; if it is remembered so, then so it was!
Dark Psyche (locked): Dredge up the mind's hidden weakness and Hate to torment your foes with shadowy doppelgangers!

All that we know of ourselves and others is merely a facade; the truth of the mind and the world sleeps where it cannot see.

Heartstalker - Psionic Class 1.6.7

Shaman 1.6.7

Description

This addon adds the Shaman as a playable class. Shamans are masters of elemental magic attacks, mindpower based summons, or good old fashioned melee weapons.

Shamans use both their weapon sets and are encouraged to switch during the battle to adapt to every situation.

They start with the Shaman's Path talent, a passive that gives them bonus adapted to their weapon sets of choice.

6 unique class trees (3 locked) :
- Elemental Magic and High Elemental Magic: Mana based spells with a cold and lightning thematic.
- Natural Warrior and Greater Natural Warrior: Stamina based 2h trees with a nature thematic.
- Spirits and Spirit Master: Equilibrium trees based on 2 permanent summons, a nature one and a cold one.

2 unique generic trees :
- Fetishes : Lasting AoE with animal thematics (blinding hawk, stunning bear, etc...).
- Totems : short duration summons with powerful buff/debuff AoE.

With the exception of 4 talents, Shaman talents can appear on NPC.

Disclaimer

This is my first addon and first coding project, I can promise I tested this addon as best I could, but that does not mean it is without bugs. Please report any bugs you find and I will endeavor to fix them ;)

If possible, please take discussions and bugs report to the forum thread I will make.

Duration can crit, and both the number of free movements and the duration scale with your movement speed. At raw talent level 3, the summoned winds will also free you of pins and dazes. At raw talent level 5, it will also free you of slows. You may act normally between your free moves.

    When you learn this talent, you will also learn the Wind Whisk talent, which allows you to spend free moves to instantly move others.

    Is: a spell
    Description: You vanish into the clouds, riding a bolt of lightning to elsewhere, teleporting you randomly within a large range (122). This will teleport you at least 15 tiles if possible.

    The lightning strike at your endpoint will illuminate the area with a radius of 4, dealing 28 damage to all foes within. Enemies who weren't targeting you will be surprised, losing their next turn.

    At raw talent level 3, the flash of lightning will also blind affected enemies for 2 turns.

    At raw talent level 5, the clap of thunder will also daze affected enemies.

    The range will increase with your Spellpower.

  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Is: a spell
    Description: You surround yourself with supernatural winds, granting you resistance to the forces of the storm and freedom of movement. You increase your Lightning Resistance by 2%, your Stun and Pin Resistance by 1%, and your Lightning Resistance Cap by 0%. You also slow incoming projectiles by 1%. Resistances and projectile slowdown scale with Dexterity. The defensive style of a Storm Knight favors avoiding, rather than resisting, direct physical attacks, so you also take a -0% penalty on your Physical resistance and caps.

  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Is: a spell
    Description: You move and fight like the wind. You gain 1% crit chance (physical and spell) and 3% movement speed. These bonuses scale with Dexterity.
    Storm Skirmisher
0/5
  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Is: a spell
    Description: You avoid attacks with lightning speed, gaining a 1 bonus to Defense. At raw talent level 3, you are so fast that while on the move you can potentially dodge attacks from even the most skilled of enemies, receiving a 1% evasion chance for 0 turns every time you move. At raw talent level 5, you are fast enough to use the cover afforded by enemies to avoid even undodgeable attacks, receiving a 0% chance to negate all damage from any given attack for 0 turns any time you move into a tile adjacent to at least one enemy and increasing the evasion bonus by 2% per such enemy. Effects scale with Dexterity.

    Thanks to your speed and ability to use air magic to control your momentum, the evasion and damage negation chances apply even if the movement was forced or from a talent.

    Your skill at avoiding attacks also allows you to turn them to your benefit. Starting at raw talent level 2, you gain a 1% chance to counter attack for 22% damage any time a melee attack misses you. At raw talent level 4, you have an equal chance to deflect projectiles to an adjacent square, and when a melee attack misses you you also have a chance to maneuver the enemy into attacking a different, adjacent enemy (if any).

    Description: You are a whirlwind of death, moving among your foes and striking them down in a blur of violent motion. Every time you move, you make an attack against all adjacent opponents for 2% weapon damage (this scales with your attack speed). You can only attack a given foe in this way once per turn, and you can't attack a target you already made a melee attack against previously in the turn.

    At raw talent level 3, you get 0 bonus free movements every time you kill an enemy, allowing you to easily move onto the next.

    At raw talent level 5, your sheer speed allows you to make Whirlwind Dervish attacks even when moving due to talents (including the swap movement from this talent), and your ability to use air magic to control your momentum allows you to do so even when forced to move by enemy talents.

    Effects scale with Dexterity.

    If you wield dual weapons, you shift fluidly from offense to defense and back again, your whirling weapons creating a reflection shield.

    If you wield a two-handed weapon, you throw yourself into a berserk fury, denying any injury. This functions as a shell shield (the resistance gained is equal to the proportion of your max life that the shield value would cover).

    If you wield a weapon and shield, you ward off any attack that may come, creating a regular damage shield - but at double strength.

    If you wield a single weapon (or are unarmed), you guard yourself as best you can, and use the reprieve to get a second wind, creating a time shield (though this does not reduce incoming effect durations).

    If this attack triggers Eldritch Combat, it will always trigger a Blast attack, when that spell is available.

    Description: The iconic power of the Mage Knights, you channel the raw energy of your magic outwardly as you fight, saving the effort of taking active control of your power and allowing it to flow freely. The power you are channeling is visible in an aura around you, bright enough to increase your light radius by 2. At base, channeling your power outwardly adds 9 damage to all attacks of the energy type appropriate to your mage knight offensive spells. This scales with the higher of Spellpower or Mindpower.

    In addition, your first successful melee attack each turn grants a 23% chance to trigger one of various Mage Knight talents instead of dealing the bonus damage. This quarters both the cooldown and Essence cost of the talent, and can only happen once per turn. The talent operates at two-thirds normal power. Triggered talents are determined randomly, but with prioritization based on how useful they are in the moment (spells that restore life are more likely to trigger when low on life, spells that provide buffs are more likely to trigger when you aren't heavily buffed, etc). Spells of higher talent level are generally prioritized over those of lower level.

    If you are wielding a two-handed weapon, triggered talents operate at full power.

    If you are using a shield, when you trigger a talent, you also have a 50% chance to automatically Block. Defensive talents have their priority increased when using a shield.

    If you are using two weapons, when you trigger a talent, you have a 50% chance to trigger the talent a second time at no further resource cost.

    If you are using a single one-handed weapon (or unarmed), your chance of triggering a talent is increased by half.

    Note that since Essence users rely on channeling minimal amounts of mana, they can't wield staves to the same effect as others. The staff Accuracy bonus is reduced to one-fifth normal for characters with an Essence pool.

    Your power modifier for a low Essence applies to the bonus damage and to your chance of triggering a talent. Note that since it will also apply to the power of your talents normally, this means that Eldritch Combat is doubly impacted by a low Essence - pace yourself!

    Some Mage Knight talents have "Advanced Energy" effects. These effects apply when you manually use the talent while Eldritch Combat is active. Many of these advanced effects may be occasionally inconvenient, so if you don't wish to trigger them you may deactivate Eldritch Combat to prevent them.
    Eldritch Combat
1/5
  • Effective talent level: 1.3
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: While Eldritch Combat allows a Mage Knight to channel their magical power outwardly while they fight, Eldritch Body lets them channel it inwardly, directing the flow of it through their body to augment their speed and power, and help them withstand powerful forces.

    When you first learn this talent, you may substitute Magic for Strength and Dexterity for purposes of equipment requirements, and you substitute magic for all other abilities for purposes of weapon damage, and you gain the ability to wear all forms of armor. Of course, if you have the physical aptitude to wield the weapon normally, that still helps to some degree; you add 6% of the normal ability damage modifiers into your weapons as well; weapons that can use both Strength and Dexterity will convert the Strength modifier to a Dexterity modifier as well if your Dexterity is higher than your Strength. In addition, using your magic to strengthen, hasten, and reinforce your body allows you to make the most of your fighting style:
    -When armed with two weapons, they may both be one-handed weapons. For each dagger that you wield, your offhand damage modifier increases by 25% (if you wield a single dagger or a dagger with a shield this modifier will apply to the bonus attack from them as well).
    -When armed with a two-handed weapon, any time you attack you make a second attack for 25% normal damage.
    -When armed with a shield, any time you attack you also execute a shield bash for 50% normal damage.
    -When armed with a single weapon (or unarmed) any time you attack you also make an unarmed strike for 50% normal damage. When fully unarmed you get a +25% bonus to your combat speed.

    Your ability to magically reinforce your body allows you to mitigate overwhelming forces, although this takes a lot of effort and your strength will fade rapidly when you do it, possibly even to the point of death. You reduce all damage received from other characters by potentially as much as 12%. However, the actual reduction is multiplied by both the percentage of your current effective life over your maximum effective life (which includes damage shields and negative life threshold), and the percentage of the damage over your current effective life. So this protects you best when you are at high health and facing high incoming damage - lesser attacks aren't worth the effort to mitigate, and as your strength fails so does your ability to exert that sort of effort. The calculation accumulates damage over the course of one turn, so multiple attacks all coming in the same turn will be reduced according to their combined total compared to your initial life. If the final percent reduction is below 18%, no reduction will occur at all. All damage mitigated by this effect is then returned as irresistible damage over the next 5 turns as your strength fades.

    Description: Your power flares, increasing all damage by 10% for 0 turns and allowing you to ignore the power reduction for low Essence.

    At raw talent level 2, you also boost your Physical Resistance.

    At raw talent level 3, you also boost your Physical Critical Chance.

    At raw talent level 4, you also boost your Spell and Mind Critical Chance.

    At raw talent level 5, you also boost your Critical Multiplier.

    This talent can be triggered by Eldritch Combat.

    Additionally, as a passive effect, you are able to overcome unworthy opponents with trivial effort. Your Essence regeneration increases by 1 for every turn beyond 10 that you have both been in combat and not received any damage. Leaving combat or taking damage immediately resets this bonus to 0. (In practice this is almost never going to matter in actual play and is merely a convenience for using training dummies and such, but who knows it might do something occasionally).

  • Effective talent level: 0.0
    Use mode: Passive
    Description: It is important for a Mage Knight to pace itself during battle, but that need not mean standing idle. When you pass a turn in combat (allowing you to regain Essence), you go on guard for one turn, gaining 9% resist all, 5% resist all cap, and 13% new effect reduction.

    At higher talent levels, if you are at maximum Essence when you pass a turn, then you can take advantage of the breather recuperate in other ways:

    At raw talent level 2, you recover 0 life.

    At raw talent level 3, all of your detrimental effects have their durations lowered by 1.

    At raw talent level 4, one of your talents will cooldown an additional turn.

    At raw talent level 5, another talent will cooldown an additional turn.

[Plot Item]
Type: chest / sher'tul

When carried:
It can be used to transmogrify all the items in your chest at once (also done automatically when you change level)

Activation costs 0 power out of 1000/1000.

This chest is an extension of old Sher'tul places of power. Any items dropped inside are transported to an other place, processed and destroyed to extract energy.
The byproduct of this effect is the creation of gold, which is useless to process, so it is sent back to you.

When you possess the chest all items you walk upon will automatically be put inside and transmogrified when you leave the level.
Simply go to your inventory to move them out of the chest if you wish to keep them.
Items in the chest will not encumber you.
