Description: DianCecht is the god of light and "positive aura". This god has no serious penalties, in return he won't support you much in general combat. His advantages are a mighty slaying (demon) and vision on dark maps. However, the permanent glow of DianCecht's disciples is a mixed blessing, since monsters will spot these players more easily.

Name of the enemy god: Balor

Attacktype(s): Blinding
Resistance(s): Fear +100, Confusion +20, Blinding +100
Vulnerable: n/a
Attuned: Mind, Protection, Light
Repelled: n/a

Special: Permanent Glow

Granted Spell(s): Sunspear (medium level), Daylight (medium level), Wrathful Eye (medium level)
Altar Effect(s): Remove Damnation, Remove Curse, Enchant Weapon (low)
Holy Relic(s): n/a

A nice shinny light that radiates from you, kinda like Jesus.

actually, it's invisible, but it makes it easier for you to hit enemies, but you get hit easier too.

Would anyone object if this became Vangel, was finished, and gave equivalent powers? What would need to be done to finish this god?

MasterNuke · #23 04-08-2003, 05:10 AM

Err... refresh my mind on who Vangel is, and why it seems so familiar...

Satrek2000 · #24 04-08-2003, 10:20 AM

... and what do you mean by equivalent powers - the same stuff with a different name or a completely different god just pointing in the same direction?

Vangel = JF guy (I'm told occasionally I shouldn't call him the founder), great scripter, nice guy.

Other option would be Dante, but as that's more commonly the guy who went to hell and returned, probably not the best choice for a name without knowing the explanation already.

It would basically replace DianCecht - a rename accompanied with the removal of everything in this description that DOESN'T work and the addition of things which DO work. If there's no sunspear prayer, a blinding-type mana bolt...if undead aren't weak against blinding type damage, they should be....

Satrek2000 · #26 04-08-2003, 01:49 PM

Well, I wouldn't object if that means the god in the slot DianCecht is finished more quickly... I can't say I'd miss him, as I lack the praying skill

Yes, I believe the name DianCecht is odd and I'm not sure if I'm even pronouncing it correctly. Vangel would definitely sound allot better then Dianchect, along with correcting the gods blessings and holy grants or whatever.

Also, weapons blessed to DianCecht should be of some worth - not referring to plats, but some attacktype or whatever to make it effective to worship him and try to get his blessing - as it's hard, one would think that a weapon of DianCecht is in some ways better than one of, say, Ogma.

Diancecht weapons used to be good, because they gave whoever you hit blind, which seriously messed up their WC and AC. Back when people were around level 8, this would completely annihilate your opponent because they just became as good at hitting as a level 1-2, with an AC that let even the worst strike many times. Today with everyone have like -30 AC and/or WC, it doesn't quite have the same effect. Maybe if each +1 dian gives could make blinding attacks hurt more (normal dian would be -20 wc and -10 ac, seriously screwing you over, +1 would be -40/-20 since you need to be level 8 to get it, +2 -60/-30 because its level 16 to get, etc.) then I would definately switch to diancecht, even though his lack of low level spells and artifacts.

Another thing, wouldn't it be difficult to start out as a new player but a follower of Diancecht? Since we can't use the prayer wounds and there is not any other low level prayers that can allow you to advance in grace points.
