The Shaman Point buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Shaman Point Buy provides Packs for a Character to become proficient in a Faith-based defensive style of combat, using holy incantations, rituals and the powers of the Gods to strike back at enemies who harm allies. Shaman Point Buy thrives when outnumbered, but is generally not good on duelists. As with many other Faith based Proficiencies, Shaman Point Buy has several rules associated with it.
Shaman Point Buy Rules
- In order to Point Buy any Packs from Shaman Point Buy, the Character must be a devout worshipper of any Religion.
- Shaman Point Buy derives its power from the Gods, so it is considered God Magic, and not Planar Magic. Still, in Regalia, non-Unionist God Powers are considered Magic in some way.
- Shaman Point Buy should generally have aesthetics of nature/earth, berserkers, and works best with the aesthetics of the following Religions: Fornoss and Pagan Faiths.
- Shaman Point Buy is not locked to a Stance, but Abilities there-in have a special mechanic called Corpse Count, which increases durability with enemies that are defeated.
- Shaman Point Buy cannot be invested in if the user invests in any of the following: Paladin Point Buy or Theurgy Point Buy.
Corpse Count Mechanic
Shaman Point Buy has special Abilities that have slightly altered mechanical rules depending on how many enemies are KO'd in a fight (KO'd: Knocked Out, and fully defeated.) The user generally becomes more durable as enemies go down, while starting off much weaker. The mechanic is described below:
- Shaman Defense as an Ability must be active for the Corpse Count Mechanic to apply. Shaman Point Buy Abilities can also be used in conjunction with Constitution, just without Corpse Count.
- At certain thresholds of enemies KO'd in a fight Abilities may have their Cooldowns instantly reset, or an additional upgraded mechanic applied to a permanent aura effect already in use.
