I'd like to see meditations increase or decrease the burn and effects of dances and berserks. Rage, calm and extend could be useful meditations.

Increase Rage would effectively increase the power and effects of a dance or berserk which will increase the inner fire burn thus decreasing the dance or berserk duration.

Calm rage would decrease the power and effects some of both dances and berserks there by increasing the burn time for a dance or berserk. In some situations a decreased dance or berserk could still be more useful than a normal one because of the longer duration.

Extend would only decrease the burn rate of berserks and dances which would increase duration times but not add nor subtract from the ability being extended.

The new meditations skill thats proposed can be the factor that determines the strength added or dropped from these abilities. Futhermore with higher amounts of skill in meditations the ability to extend a dance or berserk duration to double its orginal burn time would work wonders for everybody.

>dance panther
Your movements feel completely unhindered.

You throw yourself high into the air, a cloak of cold precision dropping over your mind at the height of the jump. Your body lands with the unconscious grace of the Panther as you complete the attack and rise from your crouch, the world seeming to slow down around you.
Roundtime: 5 seconds.


>meditate rage
You concentrate on unleashing your rage.
Roundtime: 3 seconds.

The stealth and precision of the Panther continues to keen your awareness.

(second pulse)

You feel your meditations intensify your dance.

The stealth and precision of the Panther continues to keen your awareness.

(after the meditation added its benefits the dance would be more powerful than a ordinary panther dance but would also be burning a higher amount of inner fire.)

Unless some people think my idea has potential. Im holding off on ideas for calm or extend descriptions. Also im sure alot of folks would have better ideas than me anyways :)

I like the general concept of the meditations, but would like to add that they could possibly have the negative effects lessoned or trained off completely given higher ranks of skill. Also, they would look a lot better say for instance like we meditated and a power seems to radiate outwards like that of a massive fire, like ow IF just got a big boost so its literally surrounding us.

I like the ideas. I think the meditation roundtime should be a bit longer though. I think that would balance it out a little. Maybe have a different roundtime for each meditation, rage, extend, etc. I would definately use a longer Panther dance with less power or vice versa depending on what I'm hunting.

I think the only negative affects that would be needed would be the extra inner fire burn. Because that could possibly cause HUGE stuns added to the berserks, and also decrease our MR to non-existant. With both those combined I would think most people would choose not to use them. So if there could be a different downside of meditations I think they would be more welcomed.

...say 5 minutes of having to meditate out of combat with a few hefty roundtimes for them to increase your inner fire to 150% of norm...therefore boosting MR and boosting dance\berserk length and lessening a stun at the end.

Or something different then extra inner fire burn...I think its alittle high as it is on normal berserks and dances.
