[Character Design] 17: Sulfur Creature Research & Possible Abilities

[source]

Next will be the creation of an Influence Map for the creature, then onto character design...


About sulfur
Sulfur dioxide can produce acid rain when in combination with water.

Brimstone of myth and legend. Yellow in colour. Known for its nasty odor when heated, due to the release of sulfur dioxide. Sulfur samples are very soft, with a 1.5 - 2.5 Mohs hardness. Melting point = 112.8°C, Boiling Point = 444.6°C. When melted also lets off toxic sulfur trioxide which causes a choking, burning sensation in the lungs.


About sulfuric acid
Toxic and Corrosive. Risks: Toxic by inhalation / in contact with skin / if swallowed. Causes severe burns. Irritating to eyes / respiratory system / skin. May cause cancer by inhalation. 

Safety advice includes not breathing gas/fumes/vapours/spray and to never add water. 

Contact with skin may cause redness, pain, severe burns. Contact with eyes may cause blurred vision, redness, pain, severe tissue burns and blindness.


Possible Creature Abilities

Due to sulfur toxicity, when within a certain area of effect, it will slow the player e.g. roll a 2, move 1.

Blood composed of sulfuric acid. Close combat will cause minor damage to the player per strike, due to creature wounds releasing acid blood.

When damaged, acid blood will release area of effect based fumes causing the player to lose focus, when moving the player must move in an irregular fashion e.g. roll a 5 = forward 1, diagonal 1, left 1, back 1, right 1. This effect will begin after 1 full turn of exposure, allowing the player time to escape.

If the player remains within the area of effect of the acid blood's fumes for more than two turns, this will induce a permanent cap on the players health e.g. if a player with a 90 point health cap with a health level of 80, consumes an item which gives them 20 health, they will only receive 10 hp and must not adjust their slider past 90 hp.

Ability to shoot acid rain 'missiles' at the player, doing gradual, but minor damage over a set number of turns. During these turns, the player is only able to move a maximum of two squares per turn.
