Re: magic, item, skill, s-skill help

This stuff is really cool, Karr! But I think a good additional weapon for Xiko is a taser, that could inflict paralysis or just lower speed, depending on your game mechanics.

Re: magic, item, skill, s-skill help

Looks good I guess. Coming up with names that sound good as well as original can be tricky.

Normally I don't like to be picky about spelling, and sometimes you have to get creative with the character limit. But I'll point out some errors I spotted, since typos in a game have a tendancy to stick out a bit, and I suppose some proofreading will be helpful.

wolf's bane: I think this is supposed to be one word, non-hyphenated.
peircing wind: should be spelled piercing.
goldenshurkien: is the second part supposed to be shuriken?
sergingflair: should be surgingflair.
nutralize: should be neutralize.

Re: magic, item, skill, s-skill help

Hey HEY! No fair moving onto equipment when you're still looking for item and skill names!

this is a selection of my stuff, the stuff i most need help with.

healing items

herb
ginseng
lavender
rosemary
wolf's bane
peony
ell wood
sweet nectar

notes: i want the healing items to be plant names, but im just not sure about them. i want them to make sense and seam like a logical procession from basic to more advanced healing herbs. sweet nectar is the biggest healing item available, and i dont expect the healing items to expand beyond this amount. also note there will be a similar item in between for each such as apple. these other healing items will have a low sell price and be reflected in nature (not buyable).

Other suggestions for buyables: Healing Balm (low), Moondrop (high), Sundrop (mid), Ambrosia (high), Mint (low), Aloe (low), Star Anise (mid), Sage (mid)

Other suggestions for nonbuyables: Starfruit, Garlic, Blueberries, Wild Berries (or stylize as 'Wildberries'), Honey, Wild Mushroom, Faerie Mushroom, Truffle

magic items

ether drop
magic potion
mana elixir
residuum

note: these names suck, and ive scammed a few from others games so id like to have something new here. im open to suggestions.

Other suggestions: Soma (high), Silvertear (mid), Glitter(ing) Potion (mid), Catnip (low), Magic Essence (mid), Faerie Dust (low), Luna Potion (high)

...Yeah, this one is hard!

other

smelling salt - revive
first aid - cure all status

bullet clip - small mana recovery for xiko (12? mana)
bullet case - large mana recovery for xiko (50? mana)

I think you're good here. I might suggest something like "panacea" or "neutralizer" instead of "first aid" because first aid is something you apply to wounds. "Magazine" could also sub for "bullet case" if you like the sound of that instead.

skills

healer - battle heal
frugal mage - 1/2 mana cost
explorer - treasure find up
vauntedmagic - 2 x magic damage
ninja - attack +1
exp egg - exp up
joker's wild - random ability
bitter rage - critical hit up
initiative - first attack
reprisal - counter
defender - reflect attack
magic shield - magic resist
grounded - no class
vampire - hp drain
guest - ai

note: still alright for name choices, just need to figure out which adren skills should go with which skill.

Yeah, I like most of these a lot.

Healer - might go with 'Regeneration' or 'Convalescence'
Bitter Rage - might go with 'Sharp Eyes', 'Technical', 'Wild Blow', 'Devastating Blow', 'All Out', or 'Battle Artist'
Reprisal - might go with 'Vindictive', 'Retribution', 'Divine Justice', or simply 'Counter'
Defender - might go with 'Jujitsu', 'Kinetic Reversal', or 'Visceral Mirror'

magic healing

rest
recover
revitalize
second wind
rebirth
will power
benediction - revive all
white wing - multiple healing

note: should be fine.

I like most of these a lot; I'd suggest changing 'rest' though.

other magic

cleanse - cure all status
illness - poison
speechless - silence
insanity - confuse
exhaustion - sleep
headache paralyze
solid state - petrify
scanner - check item (an item with this magic, checks what some items do, their break rate ect)
magic resist - 100 res magic
magic reduce - 50 res magic
bullet guard - 50 adrenalin resist
ultima - highest damage spell

note: should be fine.

Cool.

regular elemental magic

tier 1
peircing wind
crush force
razor fang

tier 2
ice bolts
flash fire
goldenshurkien

tier 3
sergingflair
tsunami
brokendreams

tier 4
thunder clap
rock hammer
oragaemax

notes: i think some of the names suck and could use a revamp.

I'm having a tough time figuring out whether there's any theme going on here so some of these suggestions might or might not fit:

Abysmal Flame, Rock Flurry, Summer Snow, Singularity, Mana Vortex, Razor Wind, Inferno, Shadow Swipes, Onyx Rain, Landslide, Origin, Thor's Hammer, Blinding Light, Sunbeam, Mystic Weapon, Absolute Zero

stat changing magic

buildingrage - increase attack
stonewalldef - increase defense
quick silver - increase agility
futility - decrease attack
taunt - decrease defense
lethargic - decrease agility

notes: i need more names for stat changing magic as i will use several at different levels.

Other suggestions: Bide (+def), Mercury's Blessing (+speed), Steelskin (+def), Power Trip (+att), Weakness (-att), Fissure (-def), Pacifism (-att), Rigor Mortis (-speed), Cat's Reflex (+speed), Tail Wind (+speed), Inertia Freeze (-speed), Berserker (+att), Standing Prone (-def), Rock Solid (+def), Shriek (-att)

adrenalin (adren)

inner mantra
final wish
nutralize
altima
booster

notes: this is where i need help. i need names and ideas for adrenalin style skills. these will be part of the skill set just as normal skills, but i just cant think of anything.

I don't quite understand the mechanics here so some of these suggestions may or may not be appropriate:

Overdrive, Rising Ire, Fury, Berserker's Endurance, Unlimiter, Centrifuge, Power Surge, Spectral Body, Final Twilight, (Martial) Flurry, Energy Beam, Empty Runner, Chain Reaction

By the way, 'adrenaline' is spelled with an 'e' at the end. The adjective form is 'adrenal' so it's fine to say 'an adrenal skill' if you want.

xiko weapons (uses low mana for bullets)

frag mines
granado
twin eagle
heavy volcan
napalm spread
maginum eagle
beam cannon
hydra shot
plasma mine

notes: these are ok, but some other ideas would be good too.

thanks!

Honestly I like all of those.

Hope some of these were helpful suggestions!

Re: magic, item, skill, s-skill help

thanks alot. i will definitely go over these when i have more time and use a few.

as for the adren, its used primarily with skills and consume hp. its designed to be a quick cheap boost that costs a bit of hp. i dont have much play here and i want to keep it simple yet appropriate. it maybe something i have to pair up with the skull first before i can get it to work. its hard though.
