Update - Jan 30 2022 - Haemospectre Envoy Class & Name Changes
Another class is complete — the Haemospectre Envoy.
This class underwent some major redesigns. The core concept remains the same — a diplomat/necromancer, who died and was resurrected as a Cog. But some secondary elements were changed dramatically, introducing a macabre sort of blood-magic. The Haemospectre Envoy had their soul reborn through the "Sanguine Vein," a forbidden prismatic vein of blood and viscera, which hungers for souls. The rite that restored the character's soul had the terrible side effect of spawning a "haemophane," a twisted monstrosity of flesh and bone and viscera.
The Haemospectre Envoy should provide a lot of fun opportunities with it's wide range of peculiar powers — gather a council of spectral advisors, tether your outrider ark to a cosmic river of souls, or weave horrific minions of sanguine flesh and splintered bone. Or do diplomatic stuff — that's a viable option, as well.
Another update of note — a change to how I'm naming the different character class options. You can see it first, here, with the Haemospectre Envoy, originally titled "the seer." When originally developing Behemoth as a "forged in the dark" game, I wanted to follow the style of the playbooks in Blades in the Dark (Cutter, Leech, Whisper, etc). Just a one word name that suggested the type of actions they excelled at. But as I further develop Behemoth, I feel like it needs names that are a little more... baroque? Hopefully the new names I've settled on are still effective at communicating what the class is about — but perhaps in a way more evocative of the setting. I'll update the files for the previous Classes with the new names, shortly. For now, here's an overview:
- Cipher >>> Dustmind Oracle
- Crasher >>> Pyrecrash Knight
- Dancer >>> Fractal Muse
- Forger >>> Ironheart Fanatic
- Lurker >>> Voidwhisper Operative
- Seer >>> Haemospectre Envoy
- Striker >>> Stormstrike Inquisitor
