Hey, guys. I haven't quite finished with the BK mod yet, but I think the next skill (and maybe item) mod I'm going to make is a silly, clique-ish one. Pokemon-ism: "You've bought all the games, all the merchandise; you have a real-life pikachu hat and even worse, wear it in public. You've just encountered a time-travelling accident that left you on a strange beach, and while it hasn't quite turned you into a pokemon and gained you entry to an exploration guild, you've gained all sorts of...strange abilities." Main concern, of course, would be the iffiness of using sprites from the actual games for items--it wouldn't be pokemon-ism otherwise, but... Naturally (and hopefully) Fax won't mind me using his forum avatar as the skill icon. Some planned abilities are thundershock (duh), taunt and flamethrower, but I'd love to hear what kinds of pokemon moves you guys would like to see attempted to translate to Dredmor. What do you guys think? =P
You definitely need Focus Punch, it could put a brittle buff that gives you a ton of melee power, it only lasts long enough for one attack, but also breaks if you get hit once.
Wow, I also had the idea to make pokemod, but I thought about thrown pokeboll, which summoning a random pokemon and drops when pokemon is dying/unsummoning. But because of the needs of a large number of sprites and some difficulties of mechanics , I decided to abandon this idea Waiting for your work.
