"Word of Ire" Ability Suggestion
Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2012 10:42 am
Alternatively: Word of Rage, Word of Anger or Word of Frenzy.
How about a Word that's basically a double-edged sword? Here's what I mean. This one would be used to lower the target's defensive capacity (dodge and possibly block skills by -25/-10% or something similarly effective), however it would also either boost their melee and marksmanship skills (by about the same amount) or lower their round time for anything physical-based by a couple seconds. Could also knock them out of defensive tactics and lock it for a few minutes, so you can't go back to defensive strategies the moment you get afflicted.
Essentially, you're infusing the target with immense anger and, with that anger, they lose focus on defensive capacity, however they gain more destructive potential from their new focus on beating the crap out of anything they can, thus double edged sword. Might make it usable upon one's self, as well, or simply restricted to other targets. It should have the requirements of either Word of Horror and Word of Tranquility, or Word of Horror and Word of Wonder.
I think it's pretty decent. Feedback would be appreciated, though. Also, yes, I know it could be used on allies, but that's just a benefit of it, even if it's likely to get the target killed.
