To me it sounds a lot like the good ol' Final Fantasy Tactics on the playstation! Come to think of it, the whole catacombs idea seems a lot like Final Fantasy Tactics to me haha. Nice idea, needs balancing and the final approving of the big boss.

That's funny, I have a prototype spec'd out for this exact thing. A big throw-back to the Bard's Tale days. :)

Whether or not I'll add it or not, I don't know, however. (Balance, etc)


....Interesting

Can't wait!

Bards Tale I, II and III come to mind -- but i don't think this will be orchestrated into Ladder Slasher

-Click on a monster, yourself, or party members to play it.
-When played, yourentire party gains the mods of the instrument. Kinda like a "party glyph."
-The musical magic lasts for about a second -- unless continually played (like holding the down arrow.)
-Your proficiency level and enhanced effectadd to that second.

You will need to press R to use the accessory slot, and then click.
So you won't be able to attack or cast if you want to play it. Each click is an action (you asked because of how much party exp you will get for sitting there banging your drum?)
I feel strongly there should be different types. Heals are divided into three types, heavy weapons are divided into types, and so should this intended add. It gives class diversity and more challenge from mastering a particular instrument's proficiency (A headhunter would only be able to use drums, cuz jazz flute is for little faerie elf boys.)


the question will be is 2 dex ( or whatever bonus it gives ) worth losing out on an attacking member of the group?

voted yes but only because adding more options to the game is always a plus even if they dont fit in with meta gaming.
