Idea for Hero Classes

[Nka19]

Hey guys, just something that crossed my mind. As an addition to Hero classes each type should have different special ability. For example Royal Guard: 50% crushthrough resistance (you lose 50% less health on crushthrough attacks), and for other would be something else, like Zweihander could have faster slashing speed and xbows faster reload speed etc. etc.

What do you think?

I think you need to learn how to read and stop spamming every thread you happen to see.  This clearly states that he wants an added bonus for the already existing hero classes.

EDIT:  As for the idea, I very much like it

This.


As to the OP: AFAIK resistance to crushthrough is governed by weight of attacking item vs weight of defending item (which is why HWH has a chance to block jotne attacks, for example)
So perhaps we need some ludicrously heavy shields..

Let's keep it simple.  Such as a large rock with an imprint of a shield to hide behind

Damage formulas are hard coded (as far as I know) so you cannot decide to lower the damage received. All you can do is give more armor or health or Iron Flesh or nerf the weapon weight or damage. But it is a global change ,you can't make it only for Zweis or Royal Guards.

Yeah but you can give special items to each hero class, as it's already going to be done (e.g. special shields for Royal guards).
Zweihanders already have faster slashing speed (in addition to additional damage with 2h) due to +40 2handed proficiency.
Chosen Marksmen already have faster reloading speed (in addition to better accuracy) due to + 30 crossbow proficiency.

But hero classes can be given more specificities, such as more athletics for Rangers (in addition to ironflesh bonus) whereas Wardens have more Archery and ironflesh penalty ; or more athletics for zweihanders and duelist and more ironflesh for royal guards, etc.
This could be a good thing, because at the moment, different hero classes are quite similar
