Very cool Joel! Will the skills have prerequisites?

The icons you chose for the skills are very fitting, nice stuff

[Joel]

No prerequisite for skills.
You can see the new skill system here :

It'll may not be finished for 1.10 beta cause it need custom dll edition (until I found a way to do it softcoded)) but the items will be in.

It is great to see, how rapidly the mod is progressing now
And the skills promise to be different, interesting and looks cool with the new icons!

Just one question:

Natural Balance - Level 5

This passive skill increase the HP and regeneration rate of you and your minions. It also prevent corpse to be used by other spells.

So the corpses can't be used for different skills? That may annoy party members, especially since it's passive and can't be turned off.
Also, Cleansing Rain is already great for body removal.
Maybe you better give Natural Balance a bonus like Redemption in D2 is now: a percentage to receive mana and life back. Or just mana.

[Joel]

Well, as far as i am now, the RIP passive bonus was removed.
I think i'll add something like +mana per kill OR +life per kill.

Besides that is everything Ok ?

[Vendanna]

well its because its because that could hurt their allies (unless they have no corpse removal) if they want to dispose of the corpse (think in a summon necro trying to revive skeletons with a Redemption aura (radius changed to two screens) paladin near him, he will fight for the corpses inestead of concentrate more in the monsters

it would fit more on the other factions as passive since its supposed they have no aliance.

note that passive skills that "eat corpses" will be not usable at all in concept of multiplayer, of course is a nice thing for single player but tought in that

also nice skills do you have Joel, I wish I had the same potential for mines but its clearly visible only with see them who knows more about modding

Edit: yup its all ok Joel I like your mod, and since I prefer to play in single player I found no problem with any skill.

so do as the heart says to you and you will succeed

[Xcolibri]

Besides that is everything Ok ?

I think, that is the biggest understatement I've seen in this forum yet...all is great, Joel

[Chiffa]

It's really great...

[Emperor d3st]

Yeah! Great!

[Iridescence]

Concerning the passive corpse removal thing - Since there are no prereqs, party enchantresses don't have to put points into it....


And I wish I could see the skill trees, but those pages appear to be down
