Path Skills

These were really fun to use! Thanks for taking the time to make these!

Man that's amazing !

Honestly they all felt weak to me in comparison to some other options, except the electric one but Id still like them all to cost one. Thanks for considering it

I went ahead and reduced the AP cost on some of the weaker surface skills. After I typed my message out I agree with that they were probably a little too difficult to fit in AP economy-wise at 2 AP.

Are there specific skills you would like to have lowered? I've considered lowering Rivulet and Arachnogenesis to 1 AP a few times. I've been hesitant to change them because they let you set up Elemental Affinity for 2 AP on top of getting surfaces below other targets (or replacing surfaces outright). Usually you have to spend 1 or 2 AP to cast a spell, and then another AP to move into the surface to get Elemental Affinity going.

Could the cost of these skill be lower possibly? They dont really feel worth it to me usually

A smoke path skill for Scoundrel sounds good. I will try to get that added when I can put some more time into the mod.

As for the footprint idea, I want to keep the mod limited to surface effects only so spells that don't involve surfaces I won't be implementing.

There are skills that create surfaces that follow the path of the projectile. These are called Zone skills in the engine (think Laser Ray), but they don't use actual Projectiles (Searing Daggers, for instance). It would likely be possible to script in a behavior that creates a surface underneath the path of Projecticle, but it wouldn't work with the same behavior as a Path skill. I want to keep the mod limited to skills that create surfaces only and are similar to the current Path skills.

Basically if it's possible to 'fuse' one skill effect with another skill or spell.

You can use other forms of 'path' skills other than for moving a character, such as when you use arrows with said skill, it creates a path of said item's element.

Also what about 'phantom footprints' basically with how Guard AI reacts to stolen tagged items on the ground and will move to it, a 'phantom' footprint will make 'hostiles' that 'sees' this effect 'follow' its trail.
