[Test]Elf Class for Hexen

[YukiHerz]

This was a 1-day mod i just "finished", it simply brings some weapons from heretic into hexen (obviously they don't behave 100% like the originals) with new sounds.

The Elf class replaces the Cleric.
The weapons are:
Crimson Wand: Behaves like the original Golden Wand, no ammo needed.
Greenite Crossbow: Fires a highspeed bolt with high damage, uses blue mana.
Wyvern Claw: Behaves like the Dragon Claw, uses green mana.
Skull Rod: Separated in 3 pieces, uses both mana pools.

It's kinda simple, i'd like to know what changes or additions could be made.

everything
wand does more damage than crossbow
crossbow takes only one ammo
skullrod does puny damage compared to other weapons
TWO HITSCANS (you never had any hitscan weapons in hexen)

TWO HITSCANS (you never had any hitscan weapons in hexen)

So, why can't a new class have hitscans?

[twinkieman93]

It's kind of unfair to the monsters because you can trap them behind scenery and plink them with impunity, as there are no hitscan monsters in Hexen.

Although with the range on Timon's Axe you can do the same thing...

My thoughts:

• Sounds need some work. The wand sound is fine but the others feel somewhat hollow compared to everything else. Needs more bass, maybe? Not sure how to describe my thoughts here.
• The starting weapon needs a MAJOR nerf. It should not deal that much damage. Really, it should deal about the same as or less than the Mage's wand.

I'm sure I have more but I can't remember.

Updated the link.

-Damage values have been changed, but i'm sure they're not totally ok, i'm gonna need some input on these.
--Crimson Wand is now weaker, made into a projectile.
--Greenite Crossbow has been buffed and now consumes 4 blue mana.
--Wyvern Claw now spreads, and made into projectile weapon.
--Skullrod's behavior has been changed, i hope it's powerful enough now.

-Sounds have been changed, this is something hard to get right.

killed korax with 5 skullrod shots
yeah it's def. powerful

please nerd wand further, still op
there's no point in using claw if it uses 6 ammo and your 4th uses 4 ammo
crossbow is balanced but could use SLIGHT damage nerf

Updated yet again

Wand nerfed a lil' bit more. (from 15 damage to 10)
Crossbow also nerfed. (from 25 to 20)
Claw now uses 5 green mana.
Rod now uses 3 each mana.

[Tux]

Rod now uses 3 each mana.

didn't test the current version, but
but
skullrod was op in last version

i'd change the mana cost to 35, not 3 just because it's pretty op right now

[YukiHerz]

skullrod was op in last version

Silly, ok, UPDATES! , now Skullrod uses 25 of each mana type.

Any suggestion for a second player class? something to replace the Fighter with.
