Defensive Punch Spells Reflect idea
« on: February 12, 2013, 11:20:30 am »
Something just struck me that might be pretty cool. Instead of making those touch spells negate enemy attacks, how about making it so that they actually reflect enemy spells instead?

At the moment, while those touch spells are ok defensively and can be used occasionally, it is still usually preferable and easier just to dodge out of the way of enemy projectiles. If you were to make it so that enemy projectiles were reflected instead, not only would it be cool and make the player feel more like a badass ninja, it would also give the player a lot more incentive to use them defensively rather than simply just dodging. Seems like a nice way to freshen up touch spells while also introducing a new cool mechanic. Not sure how feasible such a change is, though.

Not technically possible, sorry.   Not with any ease, anyhow.

Oh well, was worth a shot. Nevermind, still another idea for the AVWW3 folder.

Somebody mentioned giving a sword arc which would be pretty cool. Something like a slash with a longish arc, but not much range (did that make sense?). Would compliment the longish range, but little width of whips, and would be really good for bats and other Melee ranged guys.

It's funny you should mention that, something along those lines is on my list for today. :)
