Halloween Candy

[TheMoneyMaker]

We have regular inspiration, Christmas inspirations, Anniversary inspirations. I feel like Halloween would be the perfect time for special inspirations that look like candy to drop while we're trick or treating.  Maybe next year?

Should it be something different, or just a re-skin of the other special kinds?

I say make them multiple effects but weaker than normal inspirations. So like, a Def/Res/mezz inspiration that is like half the strength of a normal inspiration? Or a health/Endurance that was 70% as strong as a normal one? Something like that.

Fully for this if it has a chance to "trick" you too 😄 Turn you into a Rikti Monkey or something for 5 seconds as it's fitting the holiday then!

No no no, the tricks of trick or treat are monsters running out after you.  The treats should not also be tricks.  That's akin to putting razor blades in apples or other horrible things that parents are supposed to check their kids candy for before letting them eat it.

Should turn you into a pumpkin, but be like the Ultimate Gull

 

The dev trick will be making it so it's actually a random item when the inspiration is used instead of how you can derive what they are via info.

I would be strongly in favor of the holiday 'Present' inspirations, and all other event inspirations that have a concealed effect, be rewritten internally in this manner, so that the effect is determined at the time of use, rather than just all having the same visual appearance, but sort themselves out into groups in an inspiration storage base item, where they can be categorized.

I like the idea of having special Halloween inspirations!  They could look like lil Jack o'Lanterns in the tray, mostly be combo inspirations, and occasionally turn you into a pumpkin -- an invulnerable pumpkin, like having Dimension Shift cast on you, but you can still bounce around until it wears off (30 seconds?).  Annoying, maybe, but hilarious.

Ok, it's developing more into a must have.

 

You turn into a pumpkin that had these properties:

1. Zero Agro
2. Completely invulnerable
3. Can be batted around like the debris from Propel.
4. 30-60 seconds (with a timer, so you can be prepared)

And now a new MSR goal awaits:  fill the bowl with pumpkins!

I'm getting Big Red Ball vibes from this...

I think the pumpkin thing should be its own thing separate from Halloween inspirations, like maybe a purchasable temp power that you can only get during the event, or have it be one of the treats you can just be awarded like getting the Rock temp power when knocking on doors.  You can hold limited charges, 5 to 10 depending on how long the transformation lasts.
