Trials & Tribulations

Hat tricks

The Mad Hatter is a multi-purpose specialist (if that makes any sense). The class will have access to special hats that unlock skills when worn. Thus a Cleric hat would impart healing skills to the Mad Hatter, while some sort of Gnome hat might impart Earth spells. The Mad Hatter never permanently learns spells.

The class sort of fills the role of a red mage, except that the hats will be very specialized so in any particular battle the Mad Hatter will be a specialist. I'm not sure how this design will pan out in the end, but we'll see how it goes!

TYPE: Specialist
MIDDLE ROW COMBATANT
SKILLS
Spells
These are just examples of what I had in mind. Once I have settled on a spell list this can be refined.
Zucchetto - (healing skills)
Fedora - (dark skills)
Episcopal Mitre - pope's hat (holy skills)
Bowler - (earth)
Tuque - (ice)
Sombrero - (fire)
Mortarboard - graduation cap (status effects)
Phrygian Cap - (spirit)
Conical Straw Hat - (lightning)
Cowboy hat - (warrior skills, like facepunching (?))
Top Hat - general magic (access to many spell types - a really good hat)

Hats will generally be sold or found as the game progresses, with more powerful hats (obviously) found later on.

WEAPONS & EQUIPMENT
General medieval fare.

PERSONALITY
CRAZY! (erratic, meandering, excitable)



I know that I am overloading anyone who is following this with a data dump, but I had a rare opportunity today to work on my hobby! Sorry! I hope I am not alienating people and boring them. (I can stop this if people want).
