Attribute Glyphs

Post by Guillaumo »

Thought:

What if, perhaps, Glyphs existed which corresponded to our primary attributes? But not necessarily to Improve our existing talents, but to allow us to change our focus for a brief time?

For example, Lets say when you started playing you thought it would be good to have Willpower Warrior. Now, as you play the game, you feel that Constitution would suit your playstyle better. Instead of rerolling, what if you could employ your local Arcanist (or perhaps even yourself with your 100 Arcana skill) to activate a Constitution Glyph for you.

This would override your primary Attribute to that of the glyph for the duration of the effect, or until canceled.

Lexx also had the great suggestion that in addition to getting the temporary attribute, it could also apply some kind of decrease your chosen primary for the duration. For example, you would receive a willpower debuff, making you more susceptible to Fear.

While, naturally, I would be inclined to keep these glyphs locked to Arcansit, I think making them General Glyphs would at least provide an avenue for a player who may have come to regret their Primary Attribute selection by spending Ability points to compensate. The Arcanist, however, would still likely be the preferred option as their should, generally, last longer (Or have the debuff effects scale down with Arcana).
