Title: Vampiric Bastard trait
Post by: Zero on January 02, 2009, 14:56
Unlocked by Son of a Bitch (3), replenishes some lost health (+-2) to the player by walking over the small drops of blood on the floor (cannot replenish above max health).

Well, it's drawing from Wolfenstein, so you can't really say it's the wrong flavor even though the name needs some work. It'd be pretty broken, though. Have you not noticed that there is blood EVERYWHERE if you're doing it right? If this happens, it should only work when you're under 20%, like in Wolfenstein.

Dang, I thought I was being somewhat original (have never played Wolfenstein). Under 20% seems a bit radical though, because anyware above level 7 you'd get one hitted with less than 20%, maybe 50%?

Bare in mind though that in the heat of action (when health is most needed) the player has not time to collect blood.

P.S> I was mostly joking about the name :P, thought it fitted with the Son of a Bitch theme. Blooddrinker? Vampire?

Yeah, but being able to refresh your HP to 100% at the end of every level or just even in the interim of fights would be broken.

Maybe a limit of 40%, and only when you feel relatively safe?

Nah, I don't think this trait should be implemented... Too overpowered in the first place, and also: Blood is meant to be spilt on the floor and on the walls to make the level look messy and chaotic, it's not meant to be... consumed =P
