[suggestion] book as an equipment

Post by tangar »

Idea: to add a possibility to equip book in hands (wield it). Lets it would increase effectiveness of magic (less fail chance, more damage & etc).. May be also give books some properties, like normal items. So there would be not only mages with staffs in their hands, but also mages with books %)

This way books would have to add crazy amounts of damage to skills, otherwise i can't imagine istaris not wearing +10 mana staves.

Yep. And its kinda boring when all magic users using the same stick :) More diversity is nice 8-)

I agree with you, think it would be playable if those books gave +6 or +7 mana and damage boost, then mages could choose between defense and offense. Dont know though how basic books could be given all those bonuses- only way that comes to my mind is to allow to create randarts from them.

Yep, it would be fun to have two types mages equiment:
1) mage staff which gives a lot of mana
2) magic book which gives bonus to damage, but doesn't give any additional mana

It would create more diversity in builds and kinds of mages :) Some people would go with low mana pool and a lot of damage, some with mana to cast loads of spell with mediocre damage.
