I want to hear your guys opnions on this
so this is not tied to anything in lore or gameplay but
“what if there was a hidden 12th build”
my bad build would be a “card master” how would you get this build
well as the name states it is based around “cards”
how I would add obtaining this build
- be a savant (only savants can equip the resulting item used for this build)
- find “the empty card holder” (it would be sitting on a fountain somewhere in ravenna)
- interact with it
the deck is empty... - get friends/enemies/whatever to have attacks hit the card deck (needs 52 unique attacks to hit it…, bounty players being hunted by the GN will have a easy time filling it up)
- once it is full. pick it up (you can only have 1 in your inventory)
- equip it like any other weapon
congrats you are now the funny class idea (once you equip the deck you are locked out of magic/fightingstyles/other weapons)
the card deck when held has 4 moves
“Draw”, “Mill”, “Play”, “Shuffle”
- Draw draws a card into your hand
- Mill burns a card from your hand into your stats (I will get to this later)
- Play activates the attack on the card
- Shuffle shuffles all played cards back into the deck
so now to the stats:
when something attacks the deck to fill it up, it captures their stat build (power,defense,etc)
when you Mill a card by that person you gain 1/60 of their stats
“but wait isn’t this practically doubling your stats”
well yes but it wears off while out of combat (if you are out of combat for long enough the stats are reset and the Burned cards are back in the deck)
and yes this means if you get attacks from a drawback build you can gain drawback/insanity MID FIGHT
alternatives obtain methods I considered: as a savant you pick up the card deck and it becomes equippable as a “shield”, when blocking with this shield it eats the attack (only if it is unique) and then adds it to it’s deck, thatway you can pick and chose what to put into your deck, once full it lets you shuffle which then removes all your magics/fighting styles/other weapons
Yes this is a bad idea. No vetex should never add this (although… I wouldn’t be against it)
because this would basically be savant on … stuff (because 52 unique attacks is… alot to manage, and can you imagine the status effect combos 
)
