Nagas
#7
"Ranylyn" Wrote:- Nagas DO outregen Glykin, but Glykin are immune to poison. Nagas, meanwhile, regen exactly enough to negate standard (as in, not absurdly low level poison) poison damage with their resistance. This means Nagas effectively lose their regen when poisoned, as the heal/damage balance out, an issue Glykin never need to even consider. Not to mention Lunel's Decay having a field day with them.

Worst case scenario for Nagas is 10% of their max health per turn from Menov's fang (where they regenerate 5% beforehand anyway). Best case scenario is poison is a non-factor, meaning they can get upward to 40+ health per turn as standard tanks. Llunels is a joke of a hex, and assuming they don't resist dark (almost everyone does), it'll do as much damage as the gimped poison you can put on them.

"Ranylyn" Wrote:- Nagas DO share WT poison resist, but don't gain any benefits from it/ can't self-inflict it for bonuses. WT may have 5% Less will growth, but also 20% more Str growth, and at level 60, gain 15 strength when biting themselves, in addition to +5 FP per turn. Nagas just resist it. Nothing more, nothing less. WT outright benefit from it.

- Nagas DO get Wrap, but... I'm going to go out on a Limb and assume most Nagas carry Tomes, because of magedom. "It can bypass resistance to your weapon's damage type!" So, Book Smack, then? Not even joking, Book Smack is available to all tome users, not just Nagas, and a lot of the time, -1/-2m is every bit as crippling as immobilize/ some people don't even blink at immobilize.

Not every Naga is going to be a mage, they simply make better mages than Wyverntouched altogether. If Nagas choose not to be a mage, they get a way to bypass damage types, continuously perform more efficient Guarding, have natural resistance to poison, and regen an absurd amount of health each turn. Their only drawback will be low strength growths. If they do choose to be a mage, they get all of the above minus wrap, which they won't often use, and in exchange get incredible growths and innate infinite FP sustain. It's like I stated earlier in the thread,

"Kameron8" Wrote:Venom drive and poison immunity do not distinguish Glykins and Wyverntouched enough from this to justify giving this race beefed up golden blood and the ability to passively out-heal any poison damage you take ever.

This is an issue with deciding to give one class a little bit of everything, but the 'little bit' is a whole lot more than it should be. I doubt I'm alone when I suggest Nagas not become a moshpit of slightly watered down racials and extra bonuses, and instead get something that distinguishes them from Glykins and Wyverntouched. An arbitrary example being the ability to shed skin once every few turns, and remove all negative statuses.

One last note, while locking Nagas out of footwear is hilarious (and makes sense), all it does is reality is prohibit a single resist/DR, spiked treads, or thunder hooves. But if that's the route people want to go down, by all means.
