Thread: Mind Heals ; Chef Idea
Mind wound healing classes are the Entertainers the chefis pretty closeto the "artisan" of the cantina , because they are a Bartender ..
Well there is alot of crying for medics or doctors to be given a mind heal stim pack , but I figure the Chef is as much of a suport character as them... The mind heal would be too powerful for the medics because then they would be able to keep themselves pretty maxed out all the time.
That would bring up some balancee issues ..
For this idea to work it wouldhave to be a Chef used object like a stim pack. Not a chef product anyone could buy and carry it would have to be used like a stim pack but look like a Drink.
Novice chef would be needed to obtian the ability to use these heals. Why not novice artisan ? so its out of reach of a Power gammer who wanted to get mind heals action heals and health heals AS well as complete a combat tree.
for balance reason it would drain the chefs health or action when ever used. So that they would not be able to use it to heal themself.
Example of what I mean.
Novice Chef
Cantine of Water for now
They could be called Cantines[to anyone who doesn't know its acanvese water carryingcase military andoutdoors people like to carry.] but work like stim packs .
Okay , you need a but of imagination to let this work , but it makes just as much sence of someone randomly giving you a needly in the arm for a stim pack (people drink the other guys cantines just as much as they get morphine in war movies!)
(the chat window would read something like this)
You target joe.
you fill the cantine with a fruity drink.
You tighten the cap and toss the drink to Joe!
Joe takes a sip from the Cantine and is healed for 55 mind damage!
then every level up into chef they would get longer range like a combat medic , so that at master chef they had decent range but only half the range of a combat medic.
then the way the heal got beter was with Experimentation points , so all novice chefs would have the Cantine , but only high level in Cooking Arts would be able to heal for alot.
It would be a pretty good balance , the chef is already a suport character.. this would give them a more active role in agroup and would make chef more fun and add more players to the profesion.
This was just a idea I had to make the chef more active , and give it a more group friendly aproch while fixing a issue of no mind heal to the game.. It makes perfect sence to me.. but thats probibly because it was my idea
