Subject: HEY: NEW CLASS

OKay, I had a conversation with Trajun about this,
It coers a series of ideas.

one is a new class called swashbuckler. this is a answer to Lyles need for a new fighter class. okay here is the break down of some ideas for skills.

They get three attacks.
enhanced damage
dual wield- no restriction on second weapon and it takes the place of the hold slot.
parry
dodge
enhanced parry- allows them to pary vs non weapons
riposte- kind of like retaliation only it happens in combat and it only ups damage by one level. basically it ujses the opponeents momentum against them to do more damage.
endurance- takes alot to battle like this
dirt kick-
dagger and sword only - I will explain this latter
sneak- they are quick and gracefull, light on their feet
trip- not for thieves, unique to this class only
kick-dirt- not for thieves uinique for this class.
haggle- obviously they are slick tongued
taunt- it is in the system, and they are of quick wit and quick tongue.
fast healing- why not

There is other stuff I am sure would be good to add so throw out some suggestions to see if we can flesh this class out.

OKay not to explain about my dagger and sword comment before. Since this mud is getting designed from scratch I thought some new ideas would be good. Weapons restrictions like in some muds seems more apporpriate. Like swaords and daggers for swashies. daggers, swords, maybe flails for thieves. Warriors get anything. Mages daggers and flails. etc etc etc..... we can design the weapons so they are evenly distributed and roughly equal tbhrough out the mud.

Artifactor: mentioned that as a possible class before, perhaps they can imbue weapons with spells and skills, and perhaps give them, the ability to rename items in the game. takes pressure away from imms, and then it also allows for really really cool rp as they cancreate unique weapons.
ie. let them enchant armor as well.... perhaps with a chance to increase the benifits it already bestows.
