night creature idea
« on: July 06, 2017, 02:34:46 am »

What if when you became a night creature you gained the ability to perform a time-consuming ritual that roused the spirit of a dead companion back to you. This would be most ascetic as they might scarce or take over an attacker but short of moving the enemy's heart medication they would have almost no use, and their moans and cries for rest would make them poor speakers. However, it would allow an adventurer to talk with family, old friends, the drunk that knew were the were cavy lived, and the child that joined you instead of her mom and then got thrown into the hellevator in the old fortress that you built. Overall it would be a nice touch and if anyone could mod it in I will draw you a picture of a turkey

Nobody is looking at your post because this should be in the suggestion forum. This look like a cool idea though!

The scouts have been fighting a giant capuchin for the past month now. They still haven't killed it.

The Sentries are still fighting the capuchin. For two monthes they have done nothing but punch this monkey.

on a side note: ghosts in fortress mode actually can do significant damage, depending on the type of ghost.

Technically; vampires are night creatures.

So are Werebeasts, though only in their beast form.

It's really easy to get into Coc; trust me, all you need is one taste of Coc and you'll be begging for more! I wasn't even sure I would like Coc until after I got a taste, and now I'm all about Coc!

Y'know, there should really be a better abbreviation for Call of Cthulhu.

Necromancers might be night creatures, too. They get an Ñ, but I'm not sure how they react to an accusation.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Necromancers are night creatures too, yeah, but just like werebeasts, they have no reaction to an accusation. The accusation only functions on creatures with the token BLOODSUCKER, as the accusation's flavor text is geared toward denouncing a blood feeding creature.
