New Power Pool (Halloween/Gothic Themed)

This is an idea I've been musing on for a while. I'm always a little hesitant to suggest new power sets but considering the new opportunites presented by Freedom, I figured I'd propose something new.

The idea behind this set is obviously your typical Halloween/gothic type concept. That being said, I don't think it is thematically appropriate to simply gain access to it like every other power pool. Instead, I would recommend that the power pool only be available during the Halloween event (meaning that you can gain access to it then, and once you have access you can keep it) or it has to be unlocked by securing an accolade (such as Geas of the Kind Ones or the ones for the various Halloween, zombie or apocalypse events).

Again, this would be a power pool ONLY. Not a primary. I have not sat down and number crunched or critically analyzed the balance versus other pools, so I very much welcome your input and suggestions.


Ghost Light (Toggle)
+Acc, +Perception
By summoning ghostly candles, you are able to increase your accuracy slightly as well as your perception.


Mistwalking (Toggle)
+Stealth, +Flight, -Speed, +Def(Special), -Dam(Special)
When using this travel power, while you move very slowly, you are stealthed and visible only at short range. While in mist form, you receive a significant defensive bonus against smashing and lethal and a smaller defensive bonus against all other damage types except psionic. However, while you are well protected against most attacks, your attacks are similarly weakened while in this form.


Tainted Earth (Click)
Heal(Special), Create Tainted Earth
When afflicted with an attack that performs damage over time, you are able to leach the toxins and afflictions from your body and fliter them into the soil at your feet, creating a patch of unhallow soil that instead will toxic damage over time to those who set foot upon it.

(Note: This ability removes one damage-over-time effect currently afflicting your character and creates a land-mine type item called Tainted Earth at your feet approximately the size of an ice slick. Any enemies stepping on the soil are subject to toxic DOT. The damage caused by Tainted Earth, in an ideal circumstance, would directly reflect the damage potential of the removed DOT effect. You must be in contact with the ground to use this ability.)


Lycanthropy (Click)
+Acc, +Dam, +Regen, Chance to Afflict Enemy w/Lycanthropy
For ages, those afflicted with lycanthropy have roamed the moonlit nights wreaking terrible, bloody violence against any who cross their path. While under the affects of lycanthropy, you gain a bonus to both accuracy and damage and recover from all but the most potent of attacks with uncanny speed. However, as with all curses, you risk passing this dreaded afflcition to your enemies with attack and if they become so afflicted, while they may not take the form of the wolf, they will share in its deadly gifts as well.

(Note: For example, for each attack against an enemy while you are affected by Lycanthropy could cause a 5% chance that they would gain the benefits of Lycanthropy as well (+Acc, +Dam, +Regen) although they would not physically change shape. And while I realize there are certain pitfalls with shapechanging, this proposal would basically replace the head, chest, hands, tail and legs of the current costume model and would lock you into that costume until the lycanthropy affect fades.)

I think this is interesting...and could definitely fit many character concepts.

Very cool power effects, and basic ideas... (though I would criticize that your Power Icons are wildly out of flavor with present CoH Icons) but I don't see any place for them as a Pool Set... Pool Powers are generic and freely available to all players (minus Khelds).

Find 5 or so more powers and suggest this as some type of powerset and you might have better luck.
