Ignite – a story of 0.040 tiefling caster
This is new characater sheet from upcoming 0.040 build of Ignite. In this build you will have 3 character races to select: human, orc or tiefling. I chose last one for this preview.
Tiefling is a demon race .. but description you can read ingame or refer to d&d. In Ignite tiefling rely on their arcane skills and high dexterity. However, their strenght are low so they get penalty on melee damage. They start with simple dagger and arcane missile spell, which makes them a pretty strong ranged class. However, their damage potential is limited with mana pool and various magic miscast effects thay may occur during spellcasting. When tiefling is low on mana, he must try to finish his foes with his dagger.
As you see there is ‘sneak damage’ modificator. You will get this number as damage roll if you managed to hit monster that is unaware of your presence or confused/feared by your actions. It also works for archery and spell effects.
Tiefling may benefit from finding various magical items and spellbook. During adventures i managed to find very good Ritual Dagger with ‘ + 16% critical chance’ enchantment on it. Right now there is no separation between melee, ranged and caster critical chance (and i do not plan to add it), so this dagger gave a good boost to my arcane missile damage. Also, i managed to find arcane magic spell book, but RNG was not smile on me this time and there was no new useful spells for my Destructor Tiefling. Caster character might find useful to join Cynareth religion as she offer good variety of defensive spells, which will be a good support for fragile Tiefling. But, i didn`t managed to find altar Of Cynareth during my adventures.
That was a short story of my tiefling character, that was only at 2nd dungeon level. See ya, good night.
