Naturalist

I know this profession has been brought up before, but i really think it is a good idea for a profession for the 4th chapter in GW. The Naturalist would be a new kind of summoner, but this time of plants, shrubs, and weeds. Plants would be just attacking based, Shrubs would heal and protect allies, and weeds would cause poison, bleeding, and steal health from foes. The Naturalist would also have a line of healing skills, and another line of damaging and siphoning skills. Another thing, The Naturalist would only be able to maintain 5 plants at a time. The Naturalist would use a whip as a weapon

Attributes:

Chlorophyll (Primary Attribute): For every plant you are controlling, you gain 1 energy for every 5 levels of Chlorophyll every time a plant loses more than 50...20 health.

Plant Mastery: No inherent effect. Plant skills, especially those that cause damage or protect and heal allies become more effective with higher Plant Mastery.

Gardening: No inherent effect. Many healing skills, especially those that heal or protect plants or allies become more effective with higher Gardening.

Whip Mastery: Points in this attribute raise the damage you do with whips. Many whip attacks, especially those that have to do with damaging foes become more effective with higher Whip Mastery.



Note: More attributes may be added if you feel the need, please make comments on the above listed ones, they will be greatly appreciated.

Armor:

The Naturalist would wear a slightly thicker armor than that of casters, since its whip is more of a melee weapon. The armor would be made of thick leather, with starting armor at 10. The armor would be designed with leaves and plants on it, and the max armor would be 70. The armor would have the normal mods of casters including +energy and health and armor.








End Notes:

I think the skills i put up may be a little over/underpowered, but are up for suggestion, and so are the attributes and weapon. I think this could be a really good prof for the #4 chapter and i hope you guys put down some constructive criticism, and any questions u may have. Thanks all!!!

1st point....please change the name...I just carnt stop...laughing....hehe...

But your right in assuming this has been posted before, in in my oppinion its a bit too outlandish for GW

ok, how bout... um... well, someone think of a name, i cant really...

i think there will be a explosion of female naturalist

Armor: Nothing
lol

It sounds like a gardening ritualist to me... not necessarily a bad thing mind you.

I agree with Kattox1, this sounds like a Ritualist with an attitude... a hippie attitude.

Sorry mate, but it sounds just a tad too silly to me; "Soil you shall have!" -

Sidenote: Whips: Cool

a naturalist is another word for nudist btw

srry about the cheap sounding skill names, this is only my second time making a prof, but about naturalist as the name, well, how bout..... dunno, but if thats wat it really means, then DEFINETALLY it needs a different name.... but if you guys could come up wiht some different skill names for the shouts and stuff, then id be grateful.

Gaah!!!
How Dare You Don't Read My Gardener Class And Then Post Yours!

this proffesion has been mentioned before. normally its called a druid but its still a possible proffesion for the future as it isnt too much like anither proffesion.

ok, then lemme change the title

" if a tree falls in a forest... ill kill the bastard who done it" - jaheira from baldurs gate
's druid would propably be a better name...

generally in rpg the battle version of monks, so whip or quarterstaff, even sling would fit in their hands

but rather than high dmg i could see this more as entangling roots type of caster, with herbal healing, ,troll unguent type spells, and mend conditions...

shape change to a bear or wolf... + buffs to str + evasion + speed
and attack with pet type attacks and dmg would be indifferent of ur wepun but rather atribute points

perhaps earth, or water elemental summons or dryads, faeries etc... i could also see this as another pet character

would be interesting if this class could with shape changing skills go from support caster to dmg melee type of character to give it more depht and variety
