Spoiler :
Wind World Spells:

feel free to use this thread to discuss things in the mod that you think i should consider changing (things that divert from the main mods progression so i dont overlap work that ploep is doing) ideas on how to impliment things are greatly appreciated. HOWEVER please bear in mind i am a slow modder, and definatley not the most capable, and also please do not expect all the things on my Wish List to be incorporated into my mod mod
Spoiler Spell Guidelines :
Rough guidelines to spell strength, ill take this into account when i start coding spells.
Arhiman said:Having a baseline like this to deviate from makes is much easier to balance across spell schools.
My suggestion would be:
Area damage spells (area of effect 1 tile in every direction)
Level 1 Nil
Level 2 Damage 15%, +2% per combat level, max damage 25%
Level 3 Damage 20%, +5% per combat level, max damage 45%
Stack damage spells
Level 1 Damage 10%, +2% per combat level. Max damage 20% (like a catapult)
Level 2 Damage 15%, +3% per combat level, max damage 40%
Level 3 Damage 35%, +5% per combat level, max damage 60%
Single unit damage
Level 1 Damage 15%, +3% per combat level, max damage 40%
Level 2 Damage 35%, +5% per combat level, max damage 60%
Level 3 Damage 45%, +5% per combat level, max damage 90%
Summons
Level 1 Strength 4, 1 move
Level 2 Strength 6, 2 moves
Level 3 Strength 9, 2 moves.
maybe just make them 25% - 50% less damage from physical damage then...
On a sidenote, the Gorkflicka becomes Pigs In Space?
