Copper Dragon Disciple Breath Shape

Unread post by the_flame_of_anor »

According to lore, copper dragons breathe a line of acid instead of a cone. So their corresponding dragon disciples should breathe a line of acid as well I reckon? Right now, it's a cone.

wouldn't that require a full customization of that breath weapon singled out instead of just using all the code as the same?

I have no idea, just curious.

You mean all breath weapons now are in cone shape, including lightning breath? I have no idea as well.

Sadly, there are no "line" effects for acid in Nwn2 (like the one with lightning bolt or similar), so we simply can't make it look that way without custom animation magic (which i know nothing about). Vitriolic blast ray doesn't fit the theme imo as it's visuals are not wide enough.
And having line effect with cone/narrow green blast visuals would be pretty confusing or just ugly to players imo.
