[Items] - Potions Ideas

[indomitable1319]

I've got a few ideas that might help in the development of items in the field of potions.

Icon	Description	Summarization of Abilities
BTNPotionAntimagic	Potion of Cleansing Cleanses the consumer of all buffs and effects.	Dispel
BTNPoisonPotion	Poison of Silence Cast on Target Disables a target unit from casting spells for [...] seconds.	Silence

Hmmm I use potions in my map for greater good
But maybe I can use some ideas from here as well

Because I need 2 more potions, will see will see.
I like idea "Cast on target"

Maybe will I do something with it so you can enchant your attack and strike enemy with it (like poison items in oblivion ^^).

 

[indomitable1319]

Yes, exactly!
I'll come up with more ideas.
What other items do you need anyway?

 

[-Kobas-]

Hmm I need uncommon items, well names...

You have icons here http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1848447-post1.html
Yes same like common ones.

Uncommon ones have few bonuses like better damage, add attributes and so on...

I need names.

Like Iron Sword of Dexterity... or something like that

 

[indomitable1319]

Ah, I see.
I'll make Uncommon items soon.

Maybe Bear's Might Potion, that decrases the movement and attack speed, but adds a high armor and attack bonus? I've seen Crazy Russian got some icon that would fit it, it's a potion with some bear paw symbol drawn on a leaflet attached to bottle...

Other one would be Owls' Eye, that would give you a night vision and ability to see hidden unit if there are any for some time...

tleno, bears aren't slow. If they are slow, how the heck are they supposed to catch their meal, the salmons?

Also:
Cleansing > Dispel
Disability > Silence

The elemental potions are awesome btw.

 

[indomitable1319]

O RAYT
Purge works the same; but with slow so I guess Dispel is better.

I forgot about Silence... D:

The Elemental Potions? I tried to make them as balanced as possible. All three with an awesome bonus while having a negative effect.

 

[Tleno]

Well fine, if you don't like Bear's Might potion, You can change it to some other Whatever might potion.

A Daredevil's potion? With like 50% chance to do something positive, like a damage increase, a serious one. And 50% chance to decrease damage?

 

[-Kobas-]

Something like double edge potion, there will be 50% chance to do good thing to hero or bad thing
I like idea...

 

[Tleno]

Yeah, but doubt it will be used often, I mean if people use potion they want it to work, and carrying something with you that only has a chance to help doesn't sound really useful...

That's a cool idea, cept I think the positive chance should be greater but the negative should be harsher (i.e. 85% chance to deal X extra damage but a 15% chance to take (X*4) damage on attack.

This way your really taking a chance, whereas if its 50/50 the negative will always pretty much equal the positive and it'll just average out every time.

It will if you make it a serious buff. Everyone tries to take chances sometimes.

 

[Tleno]

Yeah, but this item will still be, I'm sure, use rarely, since there will be alternatives that are not so risky.
Oh, got a suggestion. 70% that you'll get an average buff, or 30% that you'll get a bigger buff. This way it won't be that risky.
