Anis5240 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 as in the title, per Wilson's rework, we got introduced to skill trees. I however believed the beard growth branch is not really helpful aside from making early meat effigies. Instead I propose for a new one: beard shield. Beard shield I: at 1st growth stage, grants 25% protection Beard shield II: at 2nd growth stage, grants 50% protection Beard shield III: at 3rd growth stage, grants 80% protection beard insulation and beard storage should be kept as they are. if anyone is interested, let me know! :3 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/149222-beard-shield/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmattack Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Wilson is meant to be one of the more basic, grounded characters. The transmutation he can do is enough of a stretch as it is, I think the current skill tree is fine.

Popian Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 It may help to clarify whether getting hit keeps you at that beard tier. If it does, the reduction seems a bit high.

Skelewar Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 permanent, free 80% armor :O Wilson can already many infinite green gems with his tree (and patience/a varg farm). That's his super buff and everything else on the tree is small in comparison. I think he is in a good spot as he's always been.

n.apollyon Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Wilson, or even Webber, having a beard shield doesn't make sense. He doesn't even have special interactions using his beard aside from the insulation it gives and the current skill tree beard storage. Having food storage on a thick beard makes sense albeit disgusting. Skill trees are supposed to enhance their roles and positions in game. Wilson is supposed to be a mad scientist so him having transmutation skills make sense. The beard storage is just bonus add-on, not really game changing.

Yes, as an actor, he shines on the covers of cool films, it seems to everyone that he is perfect. But in fact, he is in the shadow of his role as a "leader", he is different from what everyone sees. Honestly, as I remember, it's high time to destroy "he is an Special because he is not an Special" this is not how it works. It's funny, but I was "in his shoes" in real life, it doesn't work the way everyone thinks...to be individual, you need to reveal your character traits, skills and knowledge. He has it, BUT in words, in words he invented a new tab for the production of navigation, in words he is a scientist who has a little botany and medical knowledge. But in fact its individuality is shown...in the beard? I think Klei will really be able to work on this. It is unnecessary to make an op out of him, just a few things that will emphasize his character, a couple of his inventions or minor abilitie Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/149222-beard-shield/#findComment-1648458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cropo Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 It should provide wetness resistance, not armor...and if it did add armor, like 5-10% only at tier 3.

Jokes aside, I believe he's actually serious considering this is only his second post on the forums and he hasn't even set up his profile.

Maybe like Wormwood's compost wrap but only provides nutrients and won't be able to heal him. Since there are repair kits now, I suspect those husks will just pile up more since the gears won't break. They could make the kits cost more, they're too cheap for repairing 100% back.
