Spell-sword

guardian (9:06:25 PM): I was wondering if a "spellsword" type character could be added?
anputhutmose (9:07:21 PM): can allready have it ï·¯
guardian (9:07:28 PM): Oh?
guardian (9:07:30 PM): o-o
anputhutmose (9:07:33 PM): mhmm
guardian (9:07:44 PM): I saw no races that would be good with it >.>
anputhutmose (9:07:57 PM): go any supernatural race and make your characters with swords and armor?
guardian (9:08:09 PM): No no
anputhutmose (9:09:19 PM): were thinking of the same spellswords right?
anputhutmose (9:09:35 PM): magic users who use swords and armor
guardian (9:09:40 PM): By spellsword I mean someone that uses arcane arts in conjuncture with swords and armor, not just that they can use swords and armor. xD For example, the old character on Unsheathed had spells called Bushido; he was a samurai. The spells enhanced his speed and strength as well as defense, and could also enable him to use long range attacks.
anputhutmose (9:09:42 PM): basically a fancy name for battle mages
anputhutmose (9:11:03 PM):
Bless
- The ability to pray for blessing from your patron God/Goddess and receive divine favor, increasing one’s Agility and Speed +1.

guardian (9:11:33 PM): //hangs head// nevermind, my idea isn't getting through.
anputhutmose (9:12:02 PM): explain it better to me
anputhutmose (9:12:13 PM): what do you mean by long range attacks
guardian (9:12:34 PM): Like charging energy into the blade to unleash an attack during a swing.
anputhutmose (9:12:46 PM): oh
anputhutmose (9:13:23 PM): mmm basic of it would be chi correct?
guardian (9:14:37 PM): Basically the class would be set up like a battle mage, except for the fact that most if not all of their spells would be for buffing their weapons and armor as well as their bodies. It would be different for each race. Angels using holy energy, demons using demonic energy, hunters using chi, elementals using the element energy they are adept in, so far and so forth.
anputhutmose (9:15:15 PM): hmmm
anputhutmose (9:16:21 PM): There isnt a class system, its pretty much free to do with any race. BUT it would be an interesting power
anputhutmose (9:19:12 PM): Suggest ( most if not all of their spells would be for buffing their weapons and armor as well as their bodies. It would be different for each race. Angels using holy energy, demons using demonic energy, hunters using chi, elementals using the element energy they are adept in, so far and so forth. )
anputhutmose (9:19:26 PM): in the suggestions and we will review it
guardian (9:31:54 PM): ok

When I was thinking about it, I decided to add that only hunters should have this type of ability. Why? Because even against a lesser supernatural they are at a disadvantage; so with chi-based spell-sword and spell-armor abilities they would stand a better chance to survive. I would most likely be able to create a character to show you all somewhat what it would be like.

This sounds like a great idea, but one of the big differences between supernaturals and humans/hunters is that supernaturals can use abilities, while humans/hunters can learn skills (Robotics, Genetics, etc.) and can train their physiques to be superior to that of supernaturals. The angel hunter is an exception, of course. Giving humans/hunters energy abilities like that would kinda ruin the point, and maybe unbalance things a bit, since supernaturals would have no equivalent to skill training, really, unless you designed something for them too.

But like I said, great idea, though with abilities from the compendium, someone with a supernatural character could already rp their character like a spellsword, given they have the proper abilities for it. So really it depends whether or not the staff like it, I guess. But I personally think the concept is nice.
