New Heroes! Brothers of the Cave! Monkey King!

[Endoperez]

I changed the name of this thread because I just finished another hero mod, and don't want to create another thread for it.

This mod creates two new heroes. Obsidian Medium is an ancient being of pure magic resting in a shell of obsidian. It's an E3W2D2 H1 mage available for both MA and LA Agartha. Agent of the Oracles is a rare human the Oracles of MA Agartha found interesting, giving their own twist into his magic. He is an E2F1D1 H2 mage with a researchbonus 5. His magic allows him to make Flaming Skulls, which all Golem Crafters can use to reach Phoenix Power, giving Agartha surprising firepower.

Mod made by Endoperez. The cool new graphics were stolen from the game, color-coded, and slightly edited. The attack sprites came out looking very good.

Descriptions were written with great care, and big words.

Here's the Monkey King, the Markata of Doom!
EDIT: 1.00 available! This version tones down his power, getting rid of his 100% regeneration and stealth. There's nothing else in the update so if you don't want him to become weaker, don't update. Comments on the changes are welcome, but keep in mind these were done to keep him identical with his twin in Xietor's Epic Heroes mod (where Bandar Log starts with the troublemaker!).

He may be small, but he's immortal, even more immortal, still more truly immortal, invulnerable and immune to everything except those things he's only resistant against. He is stealthed in illusions, flies and does mischief, cast spells and has a Magic Wishing Staff that deals 20 damage.


P.S. The first immortality is from removing his name from the Monkey Book of the Celestial Bureaucracy: he won't die from old age. The second immortality is from eating the Peaches of Immortality: 100% regeneration. The third immortality is from drinking all the Elixir of Life meant for the Peach Banquet, which has made him as immortal as a phoenix.

I'll update the first mod sometime tomorrow. The description of the Obsidian Medium is hideous in this version. I'll replace it with Xietor's version, which is almost poetic.

I'll probably tone the Monkey King down a bit, to keep it identical with the version in Xietor's mod. It's a bit too powerful if you start with it and prophetize it. Even 15 hp with 100% regen is too much that early in the game. I don't know what he'll decide to do with it yet.

That monkey king is a rascal. I tried to teach him humility-and failed. I love the themes of these two heroes.

While I loved DnD, I was never a good DM. Thinking up good themes is very time consuming and does not come easily.

Endoperez likely was a good DM.

fyi, I also had created a monkey king pretender in my Mytheology mod... not that there's not room for multiple versions of this trickster

Both mods have been updated to version 1.00. Obsidian Medium got a well-deserved description fix, and Monkey King got toned down. Everyone who liked Brothers of the Cave should download the new version, because the original description is horrible. Monkey King 1.00 is just a balance fix, and if you don't want the bugger to lose 100% regen and stealth, DON'T download the new version.

Here's the picture of the newly described Obsidian Medium:
