Avatar Question.

Locke_boy · #1 04-18-2003, 11:44 PM

Avatars are great. I love it, it's really fun .. makes priests much more powerful, and evens them with warriors. I wonder what mages will use? I guess summon pet monster, at high levels, works well. I've seen skeletons summoned.

Anyway, I have a question. I've seen three avatars-

Govannon,
DianCecht,
and Brigid.

They all make sense to me .. except for Brigid.

Brigid is a woman, the Goddess of Nature and Peace .. yet her avatar looks like a dark ninja warrior. He's even holding a sai. What the? If anything, I would have pictured Brigid looking like Huru does .. what's the dilio, eh?

I thought Brigid DOESN'T use weapons?

Silly Stefan, Sai are for Ogma.

Yes, further confusion ..

.. and it's not like the Avatars need a weapon, DianCecht uses a wand ..

Avatar is like its physical representation.

brigid will be a panther once the graphics are made (wasn't made at the time so stefan did the closest looking thing to a panther)

Aye, I heard that these aren't the true avatars ..

.. but .. how does a ninja look like a panther? o.o

ah, I just wish there was a prayer where I could summon Brigid .. I want to kick everyone's arse with a molto bella Goddess ..

I havn't seen any avatar yet... -_- But isn't any of them finished, or is it just Brigid?

Kaiser2 · #10 04-21-2003, 06:45 PM

Most are finished.

They are all usable .. but the graphics they use aren't final.

The current avatars are humanoids, the finals will be animals (so I've heard).

Could anyone explain to me the exact meaning of the avatar's descriptions in the god-threats?
If they're all humanoid or animalish, what does 1x1 and 2x2 refer to? Why does 2x2 have about 3 times the hp of 1x1?
And what are ac- and wc-subtractions based on, the priest's level?
Also, is it possible that your avatar runs amok when you fail to controle it, and are they all the same level, that is, you know the spell, you can controle them?

[Edit]I hope I will be forgiven, but I also posted that in the Gods forum, just in case...[/Edit]

Heh, sure. Here I go. The 1x1 and 2x2 seem to have not been added yet. It probably will be soon enough. It, I think, makes the avatars a bit more balanced in the fact that the smaller ones can dodge the larger ones more easily because they are smaller. .. and right now, they're all humanoid..

No .. they seem to be stable, they are based on your god. They aren't subtractions, though. Lower is better, don't forget.

All avatars are summoned by the level 10 prayer "Summon Avatar". Summoned creatures that are controlled don't get out of control. However, the creature can be killed by three circumstances:
1. It does not move for about 10 seconds or so
2. It is killed by a monster/player
3. The player controlling it casts another spell.

It is possible that as your wisdom level rises the avatar becomes slightly stronger .. but I have not seen any proof of this.

You're forgiven.

I think you should also be able to summon your god... It's a towering humanoid. The only thing is...
1. Can't use for PKing...
2. Drains all your grace...
3. Lowers your stats for a bit (Like poision) or some other setback.
