Trying Naturalists for a change, and was amused by the idea of an undead earth naturalist, thus this character.

The elemental spells seem to be a tad overpowered, in an amusing and colorful way. I opted to avoid the Fauna skill, due to the targeting bug with pets, and went with Flora instead; lots of utility spells, but nothing new past the 13th skill point? Ah, well.

Trivial note: the character's current class title fits her quite well, eh.

I found naturalists fun to play, though some of those elemental storms (especially the lightning one) are pretty darn devastating when you get them. However, as I recall, they don't scale up in power as you keep going up levels, so by the time you get to the late-game baddies, you have to hit them with multiple attacks at the same time to take them down.

Hmm, I suspected as much when I saw how early this character was able to easily use the storms. Ah, and there seems to be one slightly odd thing with those: the central point of the storm may be specified as any point within telepathy range, not just line-of-sight. No idea as to whether or not it's supposed to work that way, but it does seem rather unfair, as I can nuke monsters on the other side of a permanent wall with these storms as things currently stand.

Yeah, while most characters dread pits in Steamband, Naturalists live for them. Even the hated card pits are pretty much free exp.

Even more than the card pits, martian pits... Apparently they're weak against lightning damage. Oh, the xp. 2 levels in 30 seconds. Glorious.

I finally find the cloak of Dracula, and it's with a character with innate wraithform and telepathy. Of course. Certainly not annoyed at finding it, redundant or not...

Wraithform plus lightning storms is unbelievably cheap and amusing. Why on earth doesn't this class/race combination get used more? More keypress intensive by comparison to the Automaton Rogue? Do people give up upon reaching the inadvertant pun, Sup. Natur.? Really...

Did you really have -9% fire resist at the end? Wasn't that a problem?

I think Steamband needs to be played more in general. Perhaps another update with some balance tweaks would help.

On 9.12.2005 15:34 alakazzandra@gmail.com wrote:
Yes, I definitely had -9 fire resistance at the end. I hadn't been meleeing much of anything for a while, anyway; staying inside the walls and firing lightning storms at everything prevents almost all dangerous contact, whether from melee, breath, or magic attacks, unless there's a pack of mechanical dragons, and the one instance of such a group netted me that cloak, preventing any further awakened dragons...

That resistance problem was from the cloak of dracula; I mainly just rose like mad to 100' after I got it, avoiding any contact whatsoever. Had enough stealth (and the invisibility from the cloak) to pass by anything without being noticed (well, besides a few vampires and the end bosses). Sticking almost exclusively to the interior of the walls helped with that, of course. I never went within 4 spaces of the last few monsters I fought, including the bosses.

Balance could stand to be improved somewhat, indeed. This particular race/class combination seems highly broken. So long as you don't mind endlessly typing 'p' 'r' and hiding in walls, once you get lightning storm, you're nigh-unstoppable.
