One of the things I’ve been doing with my characters is change the names of spells and cards to fit my PC’s playstyle.
A great example of this is my Clank Wizard, who is more-or-less a tech bot. I would take a normal codex like Book of Illiat and swap the names of the spells in the book for more technological ones. The spells themselves operate the same way, with a little narrative flair from me - they are entitled something different.
SLUMBER becomes SLEEPING DART
ARCANE BARRAGE becomes INCENDAIRY ROUND
TELEPATHY becomes NEUROLOGICAL UPLINK
Currently I’m managing these changes in an Excel document for each character, but I would love the ability to modify the card itself, so that my loadout on DP reflects my name changes. I am thinking of something similar to how you can customize weapons and armor currently.
I know that there are other mechanics behind the scenes working that when a certain card (like BARE BONES) is in your loadout, it effects other areas of the character page automatically.
I am not (yet) suggesting a fully customized spell creation system at this time. That wouldn’t be appropriate for release of the game, but perhaps something down the line could be considered. Rather, this would just edit simple portions of existing DC’s.
Thoughts on the possibility for this? A man can dream…
