That "Gender Storm" spell sounds like some kind of F'ed up Hentai.

To be honest... I think this could work. Change the names of skills so they sounds a little more... combatish (?), the profession name and tweak most of the skills to a less overpowered level, and I think we have a very good idea for a serious profession.

I understand that most likely wasn't the idea, but my point is that having skills work depending on the foes gender is very original and doesn't have to be all that silly.

Granted, I have NO idea how this could be used in PvE, as only 5% of the enemies actually HAVE different genders (this is strange, by the way).

And on another note; "Visage of Oifab"?

Reading the last part backwards made me laugh...

Hex Spell. For (1…15) seconds, target Female is now Male or vice versa.
That is the greatest skill ever suggested. I would just love to see the look on all the 10 year old wammos when their favourite macho character turns into a girl. Other than that I feel this class is very pvp centered as the game doesn't really duistuinguish between male and female monsters. Also, most of the monsters apear to be male so feminity seems to be overpowered. But, apart from that all I can think about is what a female Lich looks like.

Cheers.
That could work... Like the snowball fight they had during Christmas.


It's an amusing notion, but the whole gender mage thing with manipulating genders and all that seems kind of silly, plus it makes gender more important beyond a cosmetic level, which I think is a bad thing.
If it were just something that you would call a Seducer or Femme Fatale... and just make it work on any opponent regardless of gender, it could be a good class.. Using attributes like Charisma, Seduction, Manipulation...
It could be pretty good... they could have lots of sexy outfits, and they get to wear makeup as headgear

This has got to be the greatest idea (from a creativity standpoint) Ive ever seen.
*some serious post*
Yes, it would make gender have more than a cosmetic effect on yer char, and that can't really fly.
Probably needs to be revamped to exclude genders (kinda kills the idea tho) to be a permanent class, however It would make one hell of a valentines event.

For 5-17 seconds, target foe is transformed into a member of the opposite sex. Their skills, weapons and equpment remain the same. Their armor converts to their profession's opposte-gender equivalent.

My share to this thread:

Male Shout: "A Woman Belongs in the Kitchen!"
Offended by your schovinist remark, you become the target of all females, hostile or friendly. To end the effects of this skill, you must use the Male shout "I'm sorry."

Male Shout: "There is a shoe sale down at the crafter in Droknar's!" {Elite}
All women, hostile and friendly, leave the battlefield and rush to Droknar for the remaining of the match.

Female Shout: Nagging {Elite}
All of target opponents skills are disabled for 5..20 seconds.

Mooning:
Your movment is slowed by 75%, and you loose all of your armor in the abdomen area only. All foes attacking you become blinded as long as this skill is active.

It's like a male dervish using Avatar of Lyssa or Melandru... it turns them into a girl which I find oddly... attractive... o.O Strange suggestion, but interesting. It'd make people think twice before chosing their gender, since right now, I'd bet most people are females.

first of all lol.

what about pve? i think that there are a LOT more male npc's in pve then female making 4 female "gender benders" 2 monks and 2 damage dealers ecceptionaly powerful almost all of the pve areas...

also in ha you could bring 2 gender bendas (one male one female) make them bring all those skills that make males/females attack them for ___ amount of seconds and then have monks prt spirit them and soa them making them unkillable but being the only ones attacked..

how would these skills work exactly would a monk be unable to target anyone else then them? if so if they were forced to just attack them then the monk would be unable to heal..the ele unable to cast spells..ect..
