Woodie Lunar Aligned (And other suggestions)

[Fliphe]

First, I have to say that I'm very happy with these changes to Woodie. Klei has looked into all the things people have said about him in the past year, and I'm glad they were able to apply that to his gameplay.

One thing that bothers me a bit is his Lunar Aligned. I feel like in its current state, it takes away from the idea of him being cursed and unable to control himself (despite the idols). My suggestion is that his Lunar Aligned be an upgrade from the Cryptic Founder to the Brightshade hat and armor (so it would function as protection and have the disadvantage of losing the two body slots).

• Other suggestions 
  -Werebeaver-

I think it would be funny if Woodie could pull MoleWorm out of its burrow with his tail (like a hammer).


Woodie should be able to remove kelps.


-Weregoose-
In the past, I had ideas for the Goose, like being able to dash (like Wheeler), and also a 'HOOONK' to scare away enemies. I've been in situations where hounds would chase after me and I had to be very careful not to die when transforming back. I feel like these ideas were implemented in this update.

-Weremoose- 
 

-Lucy- 
Love Lucy's changes, feel like the idols should also require Lucy in their craft, think we could have a Lucy Forge space in DST, damage reduction to avoid ability spam, would make it very interesting (Lucy already has teleportation power when using a different axe with Woodie).

-Woodie-
I loved the idea of a human Woodie being able to eat wood. I think that could come back in some way even without gaining any status effects.

Also think it would be funny if the Wereforms could sit on chairs

ive always liked the forge woodie ability to throw lucy, but im not sure if it would work great with dst.

This is also something that i miss from old woodie, being a werebeaver was such a huge part of old woodie alongside lucy.

Please, Dont do this. Moonstorms nights and wickerbottom's Lunar grimoire are really painful to deal with as woodie (it sucks when wicker  rushes archives  first autum to make every night a full moon night until she wants to do shadow bosses, it also sucks to tell her not to use one of the best parts of her kit so woodie can fuction properly) , especially if the content to deal with both those situations  is forever locked in the end game like you are suggesting.

Also, losing two body slots  is a big no no, few things are as annoying as being locked like this, every fullmoon I would have to equip both slots with this armor and wait for the fullmoon to pass while I twiddle my thumb to get my backpack back if I ever wanted to use a backpack, it would be better to transform and wait for the transformation bar to deplet  like we already do.

Also, also, the game doesnt tell you when it is going to be a full moon  so unless you already memorised full moon nights days prior - metagaming -or you are using a mod that shows it prior to the night, what would happen is that ,unless you knew it already, you are going to transform before being able to put the armor on and I dont thing the majority of players remember every full moon night after the first year of the game..
