• New Skill; Master of the Stage (Main class only. Passive skill. The power of a dancer's flexibility in full force, making fools of foes. When an enemy within 1 Range of you performs a basic attack on you, while at least 1 other enemy is also within 1 Range of you, there is a chance that you will swerve out of the way, redirecting the attack to one of those other enemies but halving its damage. Triggering this effect requires 10 FP, and an enemy can only be affected by Master of the Stage once per round (unless you are monoclassing Dancer).)
  
• New Skill; Fan Throw (Fan skill. Toss your fan, sending it out as a projectile in a 5 Size Line. The first enemy it encounters takes armor-ignoring damage equal to 5 + its Power, of its damage type, and applies on-hit effects to them. This skill is not a Dance, but it will not stop your Singing nor alter your Tempo. 1M, 2 round CD.)
  
• New Skill; Dancing Circles (Toggle skill. While toggled on, damage you deal (except from One-Two Step) will not defeat enemies, leaving them at 1 HP instead. Furthermore, damage taken from enemies with 10 HP or less is reduced by 50%, as being so weak gives them two left feet.)
  
• Idol Step; Steps now always 5 (instead of Rank). Light ATK scaling changed to 80% + 10% per Rank (from 50% + 25% per Rank).
  
• Curtain Call; If used at 6+ Tempo, the damage now ignores immunity, reflect, and absorb.

• Dancer's Agility; Effect can now stack to a maximum of 6 attacks/3 rounds.
  
• Rose Toss; Effect adjusted
  
• Dance skill. Throw a rose to a tile in 4 Range, triggering One-Two Steps on all enemies. If the target tile is empty, all enemies within 3 Range of it have a chance to be Charmed LV X (based on Rank, 3 rounds). If it has an enemy, it only affects them, but also inflicts them with Holding Rose LV X if successful. If an enemy is defeated by One-Two Step triggered by this skill, you gain Boisterous Dancer for 5 rounds, and recover FP for each.
     
  
• Holding Rose; Holding a rose. Disables Two-Hand talent bonuses. Against enemies charming you, -LV Hit and -LV% Parry Activation chance.

• Wolf Howl; Hunted LV is now 1 + (Rank x 3), from Rank x 5.

• Warding Rune; Max range of pillar creation is capped at 4.
  

• Solsphere; Each time the Solsphere's effect is applied and damages an enemy(ies), the Solsphere dims its glow which lowers its damage dealt by 10%, to a minimum of 50%. This resets at the start of a new round.
  
• Radiant Splendor; Damage enhancement is now 75% of Light ATK (instead of 100%). Enhancement effect only lasts for 5 rounds, at which point it reverts to a normal Solsphere.
  
• Radiant Solace; HP recovery is now split; half of the HP is recovered immediately, and the other half is applied over 2 rounds as a generic HP Regeneration status.

I HATE RABBIT LEAP I HATE RABBIT LEAP I HATE RABBIT LEAP


So - Rabbit Leap, by default, would get a 2-to-3 round cooldown, I just think it's too strong of a mobility option by modern standards when skills like Haunting, Flip Shot, or Blink, got a cooldown for less, especially when you take into account that the skill is entirely class-agnostic, and yes, hi Vol, I will absolutely acknowledge that this is done out of personal bias. Fuck you all.

Anyways, it occurred to me that if the skill were to be nerfed today, it still would be nice for it to maintain some level of control over which use do you want to have for it. Some builds might appreciate having a mobility option at all thanks to Leporidae, or appreciate the constant movement. (And it'd make the pill easier to swallow, maybe) 

Also, making it SAN-based is a pretty bad idea, imo, since that'd hurt only a few specific builds more than anything else.



Long Jump - Steady:

"Long Jump Trait (Only 1 can be selected) - As your bloodline unfortunately found out thanks to a certain shelled scoundrel, slow and steady wins the race. Your trained, lean legs allow you to cover distances without fatigue. Increases Rabbit Leap's range by 1, and disables its cooldown."

(The intent here is to not hurt builds that solely depend off Rabbit Leap's constant mobility THAT much. It'd lose 2 range, but would still remain strong as a 8 range, class-agnostic, CDless mobility option, imo. The trait could also just reduce the cooldown by 1, depending.)


Long Jump - Explosive:

"Long Jump Trait (Only 1 can be selected) - For you, every day is leg day. Your trained, strong legs, allow you to cover larger distances in bursts of sudden energy at a moment's notice. Increases Rabbit Leap's Range by 3."


(In practice, this is...basically a nerfed version of the current Long Jump trait. I think it'd still be very strong even then.)

You can do infinite stack of Fire Tiles on top of each other, rather than replace/refresh the duration.

Which can:
1 - Do a lot of multiple stacks of tile damage.
2 - A lot of Ignite Power stack as well.
2.1 - Insane Graft

Funny Images:

These just don't work! You get the funny black shade instead of whatever style you pick.

I hopped on to check the druid animal styles, and noticed that they actually take a skill slot, when all the summon skills typically don't, as of late. I'm hoping that's not intended. If it is, that sucks massive.

A lot of classes have their on hits work for skills and not just basics, stuff like vergs graves, solbladers holy sword, and so on.

Monks offensive skills (barding kadouha, ki blast and setting sun) have niche uses and low damage, i feel allowing them to benefit from serpent strikes acid on hit would make them nice to use, it doesnt make sense for seroent strike to be just for a single attack of monk’s

If you use Clumsy Bite (or any sub-status Wyverntouch Bite), and then Absorb Poison the poison away.

The target remains, perpetually, permanently inflicted with the status.

Applicable BYOND Key - Pebbleroni Korvara

Character Name - Unnamed Mechanation

Request Type - Feature Application
Request Details -  Applying to see if designed features are suitable for korvara mechs before they are added to the public (apologies for another app)

   

Specific Requests - 

- Jointed limbs and a hard body, like an armature. this includes a puppet-like mouth with a constant smile and segmented eyebrows.

- Glowing eyes, sort of like lightbulbs, can be powered off to create an eyeless effect as seen in the top left face.

- Spring boots for the agile accelerator trait.

- A maintenance mode where their faceplates can be opened like a panel. (Not a sister location case of them being able to be opened whenever, it still has the same feel as someones skull getting pried open and is entirely only meant for mechanical repair rp if direly needed.)

- Optional request of them being able to have multiple voices or vocal inflections depending on their mood. (Sort of like ENA.)

- Optional request of the body being made of a hard wood, if not, then it can just be a metal standard of the mechanation to be made from.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) -

I think a more fnaf/ena/puppet inspired mechanation would be cool, i'd say it balances human traits and expressiveness with artificial features pretty well! I'll likely choose this mecha design over the much more robotic one I submitted a bit ago.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -

The puppet-y look will likely be from the creation of this mechanation stemming from the intent to create a being who values entertainment and fun. I also think with synthetic skin likely being something thats highly difficult to create that a mechanation with a hard material body isnt too unlikely, and a face made of inflexible materials can still be expressive enough for one to believe they're as much a person as anyone else.
