EmeraldTiger's Workshop

Perhaps have it attack every other turn for 10? | 15? damage?

The picture itself makes me think of either a sky-diving thing or a fishing lure.

The Metagame (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,30797.msg423692#msg423692)  thread specifically kirchj33's reply made me think of the following.

An weapon that starts out burrowed, and when unburrowed it has a chance to destroy any shield upon attacking.

[Rutarete]

What kind of weapon can you burrow like so? A mine?

Spears (See pit traps, some movie battlefield traps)

I considered those, but they lack the destructive power to destroy a shield (thematically) when attacking.

No. Just...no.

[EmeraldTiger]

No, what?

[artimies7]

Just, NO.

The smallest distance between two points is a straight line. A spear, no matter how you might modify it and still call it a spear, will always travel in a straight line. Assuming that a spear is easier to balance than a sword (can swing or thrust) or hammer (all it does is swing), it will, in terms of force, measure stronger every time.

[EmeraldTiger]

what would thematically fit the mechanic?

[artimies7]

Thrust. Forcing thrust. Against earth. Earth. Earth cracking. Unburrowing from earth. Unburrowing and cracking. Unburrowing and cracking with force. Forcible entry, forcible defeat, forcible, forcible, forcibl-l-l-l-l-eeee...


Crash?
Forcible crash? No.

Oh, wait! No. Yes! No. Might as well, got nothing else here.

Seigent (Seige+Sergeant)? Meh. Worth a try.
Earth.
  : Force (Forcible Ascention? Hmmmmeh.) Burrow for one turn. On re-entry, %chance to break opposing shield.
Ability: : Force: Burrow for one turn. On re-entry, % chance to destroy opposing shield.

The % wouldn't have to be very large, just enough so that it'd take a couple tries.
Or five all at once. Either one works.

[EmeraldTiger]

OK, thanks I will work on it more after some sleep.

[artimies7]

You do that.

Night-night.
