Werlin - Character Idea

[rainbownecroman]

It is a real name shut up!!

Bad pixel art of character I made

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=302135715 - The mod I got the inspiration from 

Motto - "With Great Magic Comes Great Laziness."

100 Health - 150 Hunger - 150 Sanity

Starting items - 4 nightmare fuel, 1 red gem and blue gem.

Favorite food - Fig-Stuffed Trunk

Species - Non-human

Perks And Quirks -

Brings his own magic equipment.                                                                                                                                               
Not scared of magic.
Drains his stomach to create magical energy.
Hates physical labor. More of a hunter than a forager.

So what does all of this mean? Well lets find out!!

First we start with the second because the first is gonna go last. Basically, he loses half as much sanity from using magic implements (so 0.5 from ice/fire staff, -7.5 from lazy forager, -10 from deconstruction/star caller's staff, and -25 from telelocator staff)

The second stat basically adds a fourth meter and yes I do know a lot of reworked characters and new characters have that but still. It is the magical energy meter...or something like that. Each hunger point turns into a MEM point after draining, up to a max of 300 MEM points. Also, as you may have guested, his stomach will drain quicker (1.33x faster.) The final touch is that provided your hunger is at or below 50, any meal you eat that provides more than the amount to make you full again will be directly added to your MEM. MEM is used to craft Werlin's special items. 20% of MEM can be used to repair 10% of one of his special items.

The third stat means that it takes 1.33 extra actions to mine or chop anything. So 8 swings of the pickaxe for mining boulders, and

Small Tree	Medium Tree	Big Tree
7 Chops	13 Chops	20 Chops

It also means that physical weapons deal x0.66 damage.

Dark Sword	Tentacle Spike	Spear
45	34	23

Also armor loses 12.5% of it's effectiveness, aka you take 70% damage using football helmet. Loses 2.5 sanity per swing of a axe, pickaxe, -5 when he uses a hoe, and loses 10 sanity when he digs something.

Both a downside and upside. He gets a 1.20x food point bonus to meat, and only 0.66 amount of negative effects from meat food. He than also gets only 0.80x of food from non-meat items and 1.33x the amount of negative effects.

Cooked Monster Meat	Meatballs	Kelp Fronds
-2 health 22.5 hunger -6.666 sanity	75	-1.33 health 7.5 hunger -13.33

Also he takes slightly longer to harvest plants. And now, we reach the main event, the exclusive crafting items. (Note, when out of charge they don't break, instead just can't be used until repaired.)

Gathering Items

Labor Wand - 1 axe, 1 pickaxe, 50 MEM points, and 3 nightmare fuel. Upon casting it begins to chop down or mine a tree, and takes 1.66x swings, so 10 pickaxe swings and

Small Tree	Medium Trees	Big Trees
8 Chops	17 Chops	25 Chops

Also, each chop or swing takes 1 MEM point. The main benefit is that you can have up to 5 boulders or trees or anything like that being mined or chopped at a time. -10 sanity per use. 33 uses as a pickaxe and 100 uses as a axe.

The Lazy Laborer - 1 Pick/Axe, 100 MEM points, 2 living logs, 4 nightmare fuel, and 1 orange gem. Takes 0.8x swings, so 5 pickaxe swings and

Small Tree	Medium Trees	Big Trees
4	8	12

Takes the same amount of MEM points and can chop/mine 8 things at a time. -15 sanity per use. 66 uses as a pickaxe and 200 uses as a axe.

Armor Items

Shadow Buckler - 1 purple gem, 5 nightmare fuel, 3 pig skin, and 50 MEM. Blocks 90% of damage while held in hand - 600 durability - 34/23 damage. Due to all those resources being easily renewable, it will break when it runs out.

Aegis Staff - 2 red gems, 4 nightmare fuel, 4 living logs, and 65 MEM. 10 uses, gives a follower a football helmet, basically. -15 sanity per usage.

Live Giver Staff - 1 Life-giving amulet, 3 living logs, 3 nightmare fuel, and 100 MEM. 6 uses, allows a follower to come back to life. -25 sanity per usage.

Battle Items

Aah, finally.

Slasher Staff - 1 blue gem, 4 nightmare fuel, 1 board, and 25 MEM. Deals 27.2 damage. A aoe attack which is basically deerclop's swipe but less damaging and doesn't freeze. Best used vs bees and spiders, of course. 100 uses, as fast as normal swinging. -0.5 sanity per use.

Fire Fighter Staff - 1 red gem, 4 nightmare fuel, 1 spear, and 25 MEM. Deals 42.5 damage. 100 uses, and as fast as normal swinging. -0.5 sanity per use.

Boom Spear - Fire Fighter Staff, 3 gunpowder, purple gem, and 75 MEM. Deals 59.5 damage to the enemy struck, as well as any nearby thing (similar to gunpowder aoe). 50 uses, a bit slower swing speed. -10 sanity per use.

Frozen Tentacle Staff - Slasher Staff, tentacle spike, tentacle spots, 75 MEM. Summons a tentacle that deals 34 damage and has 175 hp. 8 uses, -25 sanity per use and can only have one out per staff.

Construction Bow - 1 green gem, 3 webs, 3 thulecite, 6 nightmare fuel, 200 MEM. Uses nightmare fuel, blue/red/purple gems and those gem's staffs as ammo. -5 sanity per use.

Nightmare Fuel	Red/Blue Gem	Purple Gem
1 fuel = 4 arrows	1 gem = 5 arrows	1 gem = 5 arrows
deals 59.5 damage	deals 68 damage and freezes/burns enemies.	deals 72.25 damage and has a chance to spawn a shadow tentacle.

Boss Items

Metabolism Amulet - Thick fur, blue gem, 2 gold, and 100 MEM. Werlin hunger drains 2x as fast as the normal amount, and each point is worth 3 MEM instead of 1. Hunger drained gets added to his health and other's around him, for 5 points per hunger.

Physic Wand - Spider hat, 1 purple gem, 3 living logs, 5 nightmare fuel, and 100 MEM. Can be used to recruit certain mobs, like spiders and hounds. 25 uses, -25 sanity per use.

Amulet of Conversion - Health that would have been gained from food items is instead transformed to extra damage. Stacks up to 280%.

10 hp	40 hp	60 hp
115% damage	160% damage	190%

Nightmare Eye - 1 Deerclops eye, 3 milky whites, and -150 MEM.

Death Glare - 1 Nightmarish Eye, 6 moon shards, 1 slasher staff, and -200 MEM. A similar weapon to the slasher staff, but deals 51 damage and freezes, with longer range.

I quite like the concept and design but that's a lot of unique crafts. Items seem strong but also fairly expensive to make so Maybe balanced somewhat? .

A bit too complicated and extensive for the game but I appreciate the time and effort put in. Very neat overall idea.

Either way you're getting a like for the quotes alone, some are really funny and they go together well for his aesthetic/personality. 

Reminds me of the magic man from adventure time for some reason.

[Baark0]

william afton is that you?

[Fill-Lips]

Something to note, not a single item in the base game uses 4 items at once to craft, only ever 3, that doesn't mean it requires only 3 items at any given time.

If you want your items to be expensive and require a bunch of items, may I suggest an exclusive item with purpose of only ever being used in recipes and nothing else? Spitball ideas, vials or runestones?

Finally, god that's a lot of negative stats and items with different functions, maybe specialise in one thing and not many? Also, whats up with hunger being used for this magic meter, and not sanity like every other magic item in the base game?

[rainbownecroman]

Fill-Lips I know about the crafting.

And also I'll try to downside the gathering tools more, kinda. The boss Items are more so concepts than things that I think if this character existed be there.

The hunger thing is to add to the fact that he's a hunter wizard, as you can see in his title.
