New minor antag: Gestalt
Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2019 3:53 pm
Gestalts spawn in a group of 3-to-5 as these useless ghost things. Their abilities are:
Gestalt Link
Gestalts have access to a hive-chat sort of thing via this ability.
Possess
This is very important. It has a channel period but when successful it transfers the gestalt's mind into another creature. Sort of like a nerfed version of wizard mindswap, but not limited to sentient mobs (Yes, that means you can possess Ian as a gestalt). Not sure if it should act like mindswap, just leave the previous vessel catatonic, or revert the previous vessel to the original mind it had before possession. (Note: If you use this ability from the "useless ghost", the ghost just disappears.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once a gestalt has possessed a vessel, it gains a few more abilities:
Psionic Lance
Not as cool as you'd think it is by the name. It basically just slows someone, blurs their vision, gives them a MASSIVE amount of stamina damage, and gives them a message in BIG RED TEXT about feeling like they've been stabbed in the head. Not sure how long the effects should last.
Rend Mind
A gestalt's strongest ability, this has a long channel period but upon completion it gives the victim a MASSIVE amount of brain damage and a bunch of traumas, as well as sending them into fakecrit with stamina damage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure what the objectives would be.
Note: This is probably completely unbalanced lol. Please add on to this so it'll be better if it gets added.
EDIT: Changed name from "watcher" to "gestalt" because there is a Lavaland mob called a watcher.
