39 Bleh... (2/2)
[Human Form (Augmented with Spiritual Power): 5/10 Master: - A human-blooded creature can transform into a human form. They can only maintain that form for so long each day. (Current: 15 hours/day (13 Hours + 2 Hours for being a tier two spirit beast). Each tier upgrade will increase the timer by 4 hours. Each spirit beast tier upgrade will add 1 hour.) Timer resets at midnight. While in human form, you can speak and act like humans do. Note that some lynx traits will be present while in human form and an astute person may realize your true identity. These traits will become less noticeable the higher the skill level. You can assume more lynx traits if desired and can choose which traits they are. If you do not make a choice, they will be assigned to the 'most human' looking appearance. Stats are based on the assigned stat allocation per level as normal. While transformed into a human, you can access all of your Spirit Abilities but be warned that your human form also gives off the impression of being a spirit beast in a human guise to the astute observer.]
Ken smiled. ”Good call Lux. Now I can use my human form for longer each day. But what to do with the other two and how do we learn other spirit abilities?” He questioned out loud.
Lux shook his head. (I don't know how we learn other ones. That would have been a good question for the disgusting ghost if he didn't disappear too quickly. But you can make two other abilities cooler? Well, since I have got the fishing covered, you probably don't want to worry too much about that one.)
”True, but since spirit beast abilities seem to be rare with limited options, I want to pick things I will be using late game as well. Choosing an ability I will be forgetting about or not using much later would be a waste.”
(Then why not chose you basic methods of attacking or defending, like your claws or your hide?)
”Hmm..” Ken thought.
(Oh, I know! Why don't you choose an ability that is always active or is not restricted by levels?” Lux suggested. ”Even if it isn't flashy, wouldn't you end up using them even at higher levels?)
Ken stopped. ”Huh. I hadn't thought of that. That makes sense though. There are plenty of skills that are just amplifications of already existing skills. Alright, I have my ideas then.”
(Oh? Tell me!)
”I think I will choose my 'Monster Form' and 'Lynx Form'. If I do that, the effects should show up nicely. Monster Form needs to grow like Human form does and Lynx form is registered under selectable abilities but it currently doesn't seem to actually do anything. We will see what we can do with it.” He assigned the skills.
[Monster Form 1/10 Beginner (Augmented by Spiritual Power): A human blooded creature can transform into a beast with mild humanoid traits. This form can only maintained for so long each day. (Current 3 Hours. (1 Hours + 2 Hours for being a tier two spirit beast Each tier upgrade will increase the timer by 1 hours. Each spirit beast tier upgrade will add 1 hour.) Timer resets at midnight. While in monster form, you will be considered a hostile target to most other creatures. While in monster form you have your animal or human stats (whichever total is higher) while in a humanoid enough body to use most human skills and animal enough to use most animal skills. You are considered an in-game creature and are subject to the same rules.]
[Due to the recognition of both Human and Monster forms being augmented by spiritual power, you can now use spiritual power regardless of form.]
[You have assigned enough spiritual powers into the blood trait. Your Spirit Core has become influenced by your racial blood nature. Your race has been updated.]
[Animal form (N/A) (Augmented by Spiritual Power) *Monster tier based upon the Animal (predator) skill line and skills; (Current tier 2, Blood-Lynx): This is your race's base form. While in this form you are considered an animal (and a magical beast). While in this form you are considered an in-game creature and are subject to the same rules. You have spiritual powers related to blood. New Animal (Predator) skills have been unlocked. The chance to break through to a tier three lynx has improved. You will gain a new blood power every time your Spirit Beast skill line increases a Tier.]
[(New) Blood-Fury 0/10 Beginner (Automatic activation): When you drop below 33% health, agility increases by 5%.]
[(New) Bloodline surge 0/10 Beginner: You can consume 'time' from your Human and Monster Form's timers. Your next attack will be augmented by the amount of time consumed. (1 Hour = 10% base damage increase for one attack.) If you do not have 'Hours' remaining, the minutes are consumed but no increase in power is granted. If the attack misses, the ability is still considered used. Available hours a day to consume: (Current Maximum 18 Hours or +180% for one attack) (Current available 12 Hours 22 Minutes.)]
”Excellent!” Ken shouted. ”These are incredibly useful! Except bloodline surge seems a bit weak for a high cost. If I used up all my hours for a single strike and the base damage before armor and resistance was 100 then it would only be 280 base damage. But I guess their armor doesn't negate the additional damage so I could have an extra powerful strike every once in a while. As long as I am willing to spend all day in animal form…” His voice trailed off.
The two entered the satyr village.
The goat people were giving them strange stares. There was a calculative look in their eyes.
Ken activated his True-Lynx Eyes and looked back at the satyrs. [As you were formerly identified as a beast the satyrs are better able to determine your true nature.] [He is debating if he should hunt you and your brother down.] [She is thinking Lynx meat kind of sounds tasty tonight, but wonders if you will revert to a lynx form when dead.] [They are wondering if their god will be angry if they kill you and your companion or if he will be pleased when the two of you are turned into part of a drum.] [She doesn't know why you and your brother seem to be stronger but thinks the two of you look more handsome then before.] Ken deactivated his sight. ”Lux, these satyrs may not be friendly much longer. Let's hurry up.”
The two ran to where Jericho and Princess were working.
”Lux and I are here.” Ken replied mildly out of breath. ”What do you need?”
”I need a dance partner. The line dance I am making requires people to be starting facing in different directions and I want to make sure I got my distances right.”
Lux looked excited and turned into a Ken lookalike. ”I can be human now too. I want to try!”
”Wah! You two look like twins! Lux has such a cool looking wizard hat! Where did he get it? How is it staying on his head?” Princess excitedly questioned.
”It was in my secret treasure box Ken helped me open! It can only be taken off if I give it to another lynx specifically.” Lux replied pleased that someone else also liked his new green hat.
Jericho smiled. ”You ready?”
The three danced to Jericho's composition.
