It would be cool if there were a Hunter race (if someone could suggest a better name that would be nice) that would have some biological armor and claws as a basic weapon. They would also be able to use a sort of ESP to detect enemies which would illuminate on the screen, of course certain enemies wouldn't though. They would also have a sort of basic night vision, be fast, and strong.
Exactly what I could use some help with right now, I had the base idea of being able to naturally detect enemies and wanted to get it out there
Sounds cool, but it should also have some disadvantages too, like susceptibility to water, or sunlight, which is why they developed night-vision
Here, let me try. The "Hunter", or "Skimmer" This species is a night hunter. They have developed strong leg muscles, enabling them to jump higher and run faster. (Maybe like, 1.2 times of the human race's speed / jump?) They have also developed a keen sense of smell, enabling them to detect where their would-be prey is. (Faintly highlighted, with maybe a very faint glow of where they have recently walked, to get a sense of smell feel to it) They are also strong, getting a slight damage bonus with melee weapons. They are able to use an unarmed attack, however with power comes disadvantages. They would get a slight debuff when using ranged weapons such as guns, which would decrease accuracy and damage. Lessened vision in the day / light (Perhaps everything is slightly fuzzy, or maybe a few pixels off the side of the screen are replaced with a fog-type thing), Lowered stats as well. (Strength, etc?) They are cave-dwellers, meaning that under a certain light level and below a certain level, these debuffs would not occur even during the day. It would be just as if it was night. However, torches and the like DO still negate this anti-debuffing, hence needing to be under a certain light level as well. Their biological armor is softer during the day, giving them no armor bonuses. At night, their armor hardens to give a slight bonus. Anything i forgot? Go ahead and yell at me like a drunken hobo for it, and maybe add it on to that
Seems like a good idea, maybe they can only go out at night? So it would be dangerous to get out of your shelter at night in the planet where they live, and during the day you can find them deep in caves. They would be hostile towards you day or night.
Unfortunately the path these guys are taking would indeed make an AWESOME mob, but not so much a playable race. Definitely no negativity - just keeping it real
