Ok, let's get straight to it. Possible Wendy Stuff. Feel free to go off in another direction from any of this.
Wendy is "happy" with Abigail summoned. Abi provides buffs to Wendy as long as she is up and about. Here are some examples of what those buffs could be.
- Very slowly regen HP, due to "happiness". Like a few HP a minute or so.
- Food is more filling, better together.
- Much less sanity drain from the darkness, not so scary together.
- Attacks do normal or a little more than normal damage, protect what makes you "happy".
- Provides minor walk speed, not as much as a walking cane or walking on a path. Just so darn "happy".
- Provides little warmth or cooling. Cus' "happy"!
Wendy is "Sad" without Abigail. Debuffs when Abi is down and out.
- a little slower move speed, feeling "sad".
- food is not as filling, too "sad" to have an appetite.
- attacks don't do much damage, too "sad" to fight.
- loses more sanity in the darkness, the dark is extra scary alone!
- actions take a little longer to do, cus' "sad".
Possible Changes to Abigail.
- She already does not do much damage so either keep it as it is or make her do a little less.
- Her HP is already quite high to tank mobs after her so either keep it as well or If she will do less damage I'd say increase it a bit.
- Mobs hate her and are easily drawn to her, so much so that If Wendy goes near a mob they will aggro straight on Abi who isn't even in their aggro distance, lol. Provided she IS still near Wendy.
- You can control Abigail a bit, commands like "stay" and "follow". Fighting a mob near her breaks her out of "stay", so If you dont want her in the fight do not fight near her. "Follow" can break her away from whatever she is fighting and will get her to follow you again, as long as whatever she is fighting does not get her aggro again. Also, If Abi is very far away on "stay" and you use "follow" she will teleport to Wendys location.
Changes to Wendy
- I think she's fine as Is with the above listed buffs n' such. Maybe a unique craft but Idk.
Unsure stuff
- Not sure about this, but Abi takes 0 damage from all mobs or anything. Instead of damage, mobs attacks hits Wendys Sanity. The threshold for Nightmare attacks has increased from 30 or so to like 90. Nightmares CAN deal damage to Abi, possibly greater damage. Due to all this It might be a bit rough managing Sanity, It could make players try to avoid having Abi in fights all together.
- toys to appease and play with Abigail to keep her around. Either the toy trinkets or wendy can craft some. Toys have tiers. Better toys keep abi around longer. Or maybe Toys can do something else for Abigail.
- with some of these things, maybe a different way to summon abigail? Like I mentioned with toys, Wendy could craft something like a little altar and offer up toys or something, lol. Because if offering toys to Abigail are keeping her around on a timer of sorts then it should be easier to summon her I guess, probably with no penalty?
- Think of "A boy and his blob". But here it's "A girl and her ghost". Offering certain toys to Abigail can cause her to transform into things. A toy boat, a toy horse, a toy tool, a toy baseball bat, a toy tank lol, a toy box as an extra mobile chest, a toy house. lol.
Eh, that's all for now.
