pork gauntlet and the baconmaster class

spell: oink oink - sound wave attack that attacks in all directions. short range, medium damage (35 max, damage reduced to 15 at 2 meters.)

sorcery: pigslop - create a sludge puddle of food waste around you. slows enemies and speeds up allies. lasts 10 seconds.

skill 1: bovine affinity - oink oink causes stun. friendly pigslop puddles heal (not armor) up to 30 health, 1 health per second while standing in puddle.

skill 2: ham sandwich - when 4 or more enemies surround you within a 5m radius, oink oink doubles in range and in damage (70 max, damage reduced to 15 at 4 meters)

skill 3: disgusting dilemma - pigslop puddles stun enemies after standing in them for 2 seconds. slowness effect of puddles is 50% stronger. this combination of effects from level 3 will be a new effect called "disgust".

skill 4: when pigs fly - mana recovery doubles in friendly pigslop, levitation cost is halved.

elemental interactions:

toxic - spray and clouds are absorbed by pigslop. toxic puddles and clouds can't form on any form of pigslop.

frost - pigslop is frozen into leftovers. frozen leftovers has all effects halved.

wind - shears can remove pigslop. pigslop tornadoes act as pigslop puddles and can speed up/heal baconmasters if they have the skill. if wind shears go thru oink oink's radius, the shears become pink and explode into mini oink oinks after 2 seconds or after making contact with a target or an obstacle.

stone - oink oink can be carried thru shockwaves. boulders block oink oink and remove pigslop.

fire - fireballs and firewalls plus pigslop makes it smell good and turn into a barbecue, like mist but it can't be frozen or electrocuted. the smoke is dark gray. if players in a 25m radius are not moving, they will slowly walk towards the barbecue. fire also defrosts leftovers into normal pigslop.

lightning - bolts and strikes on pigslop also makes smoke. if lightning bolts go thru oink oink's radius, the bolts become pink and explode into mini oink oinks after 2 seconds or after making contact with a target or an obstacle.

talent nuances:

harmony - harmony users are NOT immune to the effect "disgust". the slowness effects of "disgust" are instead 25% slower than normal slow effect. normally, disgust has a 50% bonus to slowness (rhyme time).

tracking & escapist - these talents treat the "disgust" effect as damage. people in pigslop will be highlighted by a baconmaster's tracking, and players with escapist will get their speed boost activated in pigslop.

focused mana - does not activate in pigslop because you are grossed out and cannot focus (duh)

vital stone - vital stone doesn't activate in pigslop because the pigs ate your vital stone and now you can't respawn (pigs hate vital stone too)

scavenging - anyone, allies and foes, gets 5 more health and armor from exiling someone while in pigslop or leftovers. basically pigslop gives bonus to scav users stuck in pigslop because there's plenty of food waste to scavenge.

dexterity - here is the formula for dexterity and class level 4 "when pigs fly" stacking. "d" is .15/.18/.20/.30 depending on how many scrolls you have, L is 0/.50 depending on if you have level 4 or not. (Note: this formula only activated if you use the baconmaster class)

(1 + d) * (1 + L) - 1 = levitation cost discount

so if you have full scrolls:

(1 + 0.30) * (1 + 0.50) - 1.15 1.3 * 1.5 - 1.15 1.95 - 1.15 0.80 = 80% levitation mana cost discount

thanks for reading, I made this in a comment on a Krashy video, it was off topic and I was bored. it took an hour, and yes I think like this in real life

also u/Paradoxe-999 inspired me to make a concept class as well as u/Krashys so props to them and any other class concept makers I didn't list!

edit: thank you for silver awarding my concept gauntlet made by my fever dream of an imagination

edit 2: this isn't a troll post, I respect pigs, the only thing I'm not serious about is to seriously add this ingame. calm down pig lovers.

edit 3: don't actually add this to game, apparently pigs are mistreated and some people have trauma from slaughterhouses (read comments), my idea was just in the numbers and abilities.

edit 4: thanks for 2 silvers and 1 handshake thing

edit 5: changed flair

edit 6: the sequel

Thematically, you have a problem: I used to take care of a bunch of pigs and other than the horses, they were by far the cleanest of the animals (cows and chickens make some fierce messes!).

Wow, cool! Thanks for commenting on my concept!

I didn't mean "pigslop" in a messy sense, it's just that I highly doubt the sorcery would also summon a trough to neatly contain it. (Although this class's emote should be eating from a trough or smth)

If it would satisfy you, you can add a Lysol logo on the puddles to show that it's clean.

Phew. I'd stay away from Lysol though as it could be dangerous to the little fellows if they consume it. Maybe call it 'pig chow' or alternatively lean into their love of mud and as a bonus the elemental concept and have it summon mud for them to roll around in.

Pig chow sounds like a type of leftover casserole 🥘 why not? Thanks for the suggestions!

Edit: is now pigchow bc mud should be saved for someone else making a mud gauntlet.

Truly a collaborative experience!
