NightCrawler

[Comradejohan]

What they look like in Minecraft (shapeshifters, may vary. alot)


Atack Roll: 15
Defence Roll: 15
Health Points: 30
Other: Always attacks first at night, Never attacks first Daytime. Corpse is minable for super rare Obsidian.
Threat Level: Run away!

Nightcrawlers are the definative Horrors of the night. Dormant in the daytime, they will still defend themselves in the light of day. The shapeshifting creatures stalk the dark hours, leaving their taint in their wake and consuming land and structures to add to their Biomass. Their origin is unknown to all but the eldest sages, who guard the secret closely.

((OOC: I did not create these, so please correct any errs I have made in this entry by replying to the post, and i will fix it))

Some more details,

nightcrawlers have the ability to copy any structure they see along with any animal they see (that includes any human)

Subspecies; Nightcrawler golem

A humongous nightcrawler in a humanoid shape,

28 att roll

20 def roll

50 hp

Resistance to any metal it absorbers

if a 1 is rolled by the attacker their weapon is absorbed and shot back at them for their max roll 2+ damage unless blocked by an ally

[Comradejohan]

you might want to rethink that attack and defence roll, you would need a whole leigon of players to take it down

[kaboomarang]

OK ignore the golem i thought about it and decided that it was way too unbalanced,

But since then I've made alot more types of nightcrawlers, i made them alot more recognizable meaning they aren't just 3 to 2 blocks of obsidian sticking out of the ground

Now they have all different shapes and sizes
for example i made a flying nightcrawler that will spot you within a given radius and drop taint on wherever you go for a certain amount of time
(this is of course up to you if you are spotted or not)

thus giving you further reason to stay away from nightcrawler camps


Nightcrawlers can also developer blue eyes instead of the red eyes they usually have

these will often be very powerful and will guard places that are vital to nightcrawlers

and I've made it alittle more balance in terms of players vs nightcrawlers

you can now mine taint for nightcrawler skin a useful material to make clothing out of

and due to recent complaints I've toned down on the infection of structures
it now takes many nights to completely infect a structure
meaning nightcrawlers infect living materials like grass or trees
faster then materials like wood planks or stone



That about covers the update on nightcrawlers

Pictures of new nightcrawlers coming soon!

=An idea to fix a few remaining problems with nightcrawlers=

Creating nightcrawlers or building bases could cost biomass
you could earn biomass by infecting land
trees would give more biomass then simply infecting any
normal piece of land

biomass can be spent on the following things:

creating or destroying bases,

and creating new nightcrawlers

Biomass would be handed out 2 BM (biomass) per block
5 BM per tree

-1 BM for infecting part of a base

-300 BM for building a nightcrawler
(may vary depending on what you put on it)

this should give more reason for the destruction of land besides "its just something they do"
but also lengthening the time it takes to build or infect a structure,

So good idea or bad idea?

hi i got an idea for a Nightcrawler subrace. The Shadowcrawler there building style and tainting is more vines and plant like something like a big bioebase and less black slime like.

like they get biomass by building vins and roots and the land around the roots and vines is dying and becomes sand and thus they gain biomass

and instead of being able to make big guardians the can make acid, microwave, and hydro towers. they got lesser att and def. they cannot move but they are extremely cheap

this is how i think the acid tower shot look like

]

and this is the stats fore them

attack roll 7

deafens roll 7

health points 8

range 7 blocks if you are a hostile and inside their range then tower will attack you

other the tower gives 1 bonus damage for every time it attacks even if you roll a higher deafens

threat level moderate i think

cost 600 biomass and 1 raw iron

and sorry for my bad English and grammar
