[relz] Monk Class Armor And Resistances!

[halaku]

My first mod :D

 

basically what this script does is adds a armor bonus based on speed and a resistance bonus based on willpower, assuming your a monk, and have no other armor or weapons equipped. This is just the beta of what things are to come.

Prerequisites for this mod to "Activate"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
		C) Description (Bonuses)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Monks Speed-

Give the player a armor rating based off the Attribute "Speed".
For every 5 points you gain in "Speed" after a speed of 40 you 
use this equation.
  Speed / 2 = Armor (rounded down to the nearest 0, 2, 5 or 7)
example 
1) Using a Speed of 80
  80 / 2 = 40 
2) Using a speed of 97
  97 / 2 = 47

Starting at a speed of 100 your armor level progresses 2 
points for every 10 points you gain in speed.
example
1) a speed of 110 = 52 armor
2) a speed of 180 = 76 armor
(Your armor maxes at 80 with a speed of 200)

-Monks Will-

Give the player a "resistance" rating based off the Attribute 
"willpower". It uses the same equation as "monks Speed" except
after a willpower of 100, it continues to progress at the normal
rate.

Based off your willpower score you get the following bonuses.

  Resist	 Willpower  Max
1) Disease	 0-200	 100
2) Poison	  0-200	 100
3) Magic	   0-100	 50

 Reflect	 Willpower  Max
4) Magic	   100-200   50


-Training : Monk-
A Script effect, doesnt offer any bonuses

-Resolve  : Monk-

I like the idea a lot, that it just works in the backround along with your attributes. That's a great way of implementing the change.. My criticism is that this applies to specific class, and that it doesn't work when you're wielding a weapon. It doesn't make sense that just because you're holding a weapon your AC goes down. Also, consider that a lot of mage and thief based characters don't really use armor either, so you're restricting who specifically can use your mod . IMO if you take away at least the class restrictions you'll see a lot more downloads. I don't know about including weapon wielding in the equation. It would make more sense that you don't get the bonus if you're using a shield or are wearing any other piece of armor. At least then it strikes the balance between characters who wear armor and those who don't.

 

Another thing to consider is that in most cases, it's the quality of the equipment you have that determines your AC and not attribute scores. This could be interpreted as a logical flaw, so you might want to consider another way to implement how the attributes affect defensive combat skills. When I think of willpower, I think of a natural resistance to physical attacks, so you might change the script to essentially add a "resist normal weapons" function when the character is not wearing armor as opposed to an increase in AC.

 

Just a thought, and again, I like the idea, just think of different ways for it to make logical sense.

one thing i was thinking about was changing it to a resist damage effect instead of a armor bonus.

 

the only other way to really get a "ac" that would be based off equipment (like light armor or heavy armor, and the level) would be to make this mod level based instead of stat based.

 

the reason i made this mod was for the class "monk" that im adding into the game (they have no real "monk" abilities, and this is just the first addition, i wanted some people to play test it =) ) so thats why the script makes sure you dont use weapons, since.. monks dont use weapons. Except maybe a staff, which they dont have in the game (i am thinking about making some) but i am thinking about giving them bows back :D

 

thanks for the input! need as much as possible! anyone else have suggestions?

:excl: I just uploaded version Beta 1.1, had a scripting problem that was causing "monks will" not to be added.

 

all links should be updated for version 1.1

:D
