Heroes

for practical reasons here's the main thread
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=456675

read second post to get what's going or not going on

waiting for alreadyded to enter and then

me ,ngugi and ded are gonna discuss -balance the hero thing for his submod

SO THIS IS WHAT I SUGGEST

in order to keep this topic as short as possible ,for practical reasons ,we're gonna post new posts as less as possible..if not it's gonna be chaotic...we'll be responding - making progress, one thing at a time and preferably by editing our assigned posts if making a new post isn't all that necessary...once we finish every stage-group we'll repeat the process..

-Opening Post is gonna rappresent the actual progress and definitive choises ,made in the process
it's gonna also have three spoilers each one with actual files to use ingame
-hero_abilities.xml
-expanded.txt
-distribution (ded is gonna have to post a list with the starting and scripted to spawn characters that he's going to have ingame..at least just for the scripted ones...as for the others i can save him the time and do it my self if he just posts the descr_strat)

-second post (meaning this one) is gonna be used by me

-third post is ngugi's

-fourth and last (for this stage at least) is gonna be alreadyded's ...ded.. please put in a spoiler(s) your descr_strat(s) so that i can put them in the OP to use as guide for the abs distribution

these 'first' posts-triplet is gonna be for suggesting...

fifth mine ,
sixth ngugis and
seventh post ded's
are gonna be for discussing..mostly by editing..this way we'll always have everything in one page..and circularly we'll cover all subjects..maybe starting with the personal abs and then the stamina boosts, (as their the most straight-forward) and finally the racials..and whatever else comes in the way

then as soon as we have a general overview we'll try balancing them and last but not least it's gonna be distribution ..even though i guess that will be mostly ded's final decision...

ps

as soon as i get home when i'll have a decent net-connection (i'm at my girlfriend's these days) i'll post all my actual finished work in the OP...to use as a starting point basis..(the links i sent you just had the primitive rough ideas)..maybe i'll also send it to you as it's playable ,to try on your own..i'm currently playing it..it's good even though i still have to make a smoother fit for some buttons

and a last thing...is there any way i can give you administrator rights regarding the first post ?

Well then, hello everybody I've been working on suggestions for the Heroes and Villains powers lore-setting the last few days, or rather a few nights so it ain't perfect nor tested yet.
But I share them here, as it sometimes is easier to begin giving ideas on effect/usage balance, power desc [I'm humble haha] or on plain new power-designs if you have something to work from.
- All powers descriptions of mine here are based upon one or often a few quotations, as I have avilable in case somebody is intrested: desc's are no direct copy from the books

Stamina boost powers (as Noobas asked to be something to eat/drink);

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Elves: Lembas

Note: should give more stamina than cram and honey cakes - but only be used once/less effect but longer duration or vice versa/?)


Dale & Dwarves: Cram
Desc: (The hard cakes of Dale, containing honey and milk, strengthen on long journeys +X stamina)
Note: less + because of dryness?


Isengard: Burning liquid [or Orc-draught or Burning draught]
Desc: (A fierce glow flow through the body removes all pain and weariness +X stamina)

Mordor & OotMM & OoG: Whips of Sauron

Gondor & Eriador/Arnor: Kingsfoil potion
