Forums → Forum Games → Potentes Humanum ideas thread

Eliakith here. It's been a while. I delved into the world of programming to see what I could do. It wasn't pretty. Now, I'm returning to AG, to bring forth Potentes Humanum, the forum game I was planning a long time ago. I have only one problem.

Ideas.

Abilities, classes, NPCs, all the like need created, but I don't have anywhere near the time to make them all. Everything else is set for launch, but I can't bring it into existence without more unique moves, NPCs, and classes. If the denizens of the forum games can help me, this game could be up and booming in a month or two. So with that over with...

Rules
1. All active type abilities should be in the following format: Move name (DMG [none, low, med, high, extreme], RANGE [melee, short, med, long, extreme], EFFECT [freeze, burn, poison, etc.], COST [i'll put this in when I copy it to the main post])
2. Passive type abilities should be in the following format: Move name (Type [If you don't know, I'll add it] Function, cost [i'll put this in when I copy paste it to the main post]
3. NPCs need to have a function, a description, and a few lines of dialogue.
4. No overpowered God moves.
5. No underpowered "splash" moves.
7. I reserve the right to change moves posted by users, although this will most likely be minimal.
8. Please don't copy an already existing move.
9. There is cake at the end.
10. Always follow rule number 6!

FaQ:
Q. What is Potentes Humanum?
A. A forum game I had planned out with Lowco1
Q. I'm not sure if this move was already made...
A. Move list is below.
Q. What kind of NPCs would I be making?
A. Anything. Just know that the forum game is set in the distant future, when skilltonium-an element found on another planet with incredible abilities that are not fully understood yet- is being used to enhance humans, to make them as strong as possible.
Q. What kind of moves would I be making?
A. Anything possible with kenesis, swords, guns, bows, fists, ninja training... You name it! Just keep in mind that this is the distant future.
Q. What is a passive ability?
A. Type A is an ability that effects your character or the playing field in some way. Type B is an ability that attaches to an active ability to make it stronger. See examples.
Q. Can I have a look at how all this is done?
A. Sure! Email me at pitmaster226&gmail.com (replace & with @ the edit exploded for unknown reasons.)

-"My invention! The cloaking device! Will this work?" *malfunctions and boom*
