Introducing Sorcerer Bloodlines

Introducing Sorcerer Bloodlines

“We are not like the others, you and I.  They use their books and songs to build their power, but this is false, unnatural!  We are the true wielders of magic, those born into it!” - Roharis the bold, speaking to his late apprentice Altham

Sorcerers, unlike Wizards, do not learn to harness the magical energies of Lumia – They are born into power.  A magical being or powerful event somewhere in their ancestry has altered their bloodline, granting them their powers.  Perhaps a dragon, bored with their long existence and seeking new experiences, coupled with one of the sorcerer’s ancestors, producing a child.  The dragon’s magic was passed down, generation after generation, until some roll of the dice caused it to manifest strongly in this individual.  Their abilities reflect their dragon ancestry, with claws that slash and glittering draconic wings that grant flight, even a devastating breath weapon.

Mechanically, the ancestor dragon’s type affects the bonuses and powers you will receive:

  • black dragon – acid damage
  • blue dragon – electric damage
  • green dragon – poison damage
  • red dragon – fire damage
  • white dragon – cold damage
  • brass dragon – fire damage
  • bronze dragon – electric damage
  • copper dragon – acid damage
  • silver dragon – cold damage
  • gold dragon – fire damage

This will affect the breath weapon type as well as the cosmetic appearance of your manifested draconic attributes, such as your wings.

If you are currently a sorcerer in the game, you will need to RESPEC to choose your bloodline.

For help in-game: help Draconic Bloodline

Currently, the Draconic Bloodline is the only available bloodline.  Other bloodlines will be available in the next few weeks.

Introducing the Luminari GUI Client Script for Mudlet!


We are excited to announce the release of an alpha version of our Mudlet GUI. First if you do not have Mudlet yet, download it here:

Download

Once you have downloaded Mudlet and installed it:
You will need to create a new profile for Luminari, even if you have one already. The address is: luminarimud.com, port: 4100
Then connect to the MUD.
The GUI package we designed should automatically download at this point.
Before you log on, you will have to select the “Settings” button up top.
For ‘profile preferences’, the ‘general’ tab (the one should be opened by default when you click on ‘settings’), on the bottom ‘Game Protocols’ select ‘Enable MSDP’
Then you will have to click the button up top to ‘Reconnect’
Log into your Luminari account and into your character.
Go into ‘Prefedit’ for your character, select ‘t’ for toggle preferences.
Make sure options ‘M’ mxp, ‘N’ msdp, ‘O’ gmcp, ‘V’ gui mode, are all selected as ‘ON’
Select ‘Q’ again ‘Q’ and finally ‘Y’ to save and exit.
You will have to reconnect and log into your character again and you should all be set to go!!

To start the mapper, type: start mapping
To pause your mapper, type: stop mapping
Then start moving around! We suggest you use ‘start mapping’ to map an area, then ‘stop mapping’ once the area is mapped out to avoid messing up your maps.

Please bare in mind this is just an Alpha release, with a lot more features and aesthetic improvements soon to come! We would love your feedback via IDEA, BUG submissions. You can also post on this post or even just talk directly to the author, Ornir, on Discord.

Let’s MUD! LuminariMUD Game of the Month, a New Race and GUI Development

Thanks to the Reddit community for the recognition!  To any new visitors, we highly suggest checking out a short lore article we have setup:

Lumina – Voiced by Stu Cook

It includes both a written and audio version of our background story.

Also we are happy to announce the release of the Drow race:

Cruel and cunning, Drow, also known as dark elves, were cursed
into their present appearance by the Arcanite and Prisoner’s magic, were led
down the path to evil and corruption. The drow have black skin that resembles
polished obsidian and stark white or pale yellow hair. They commonly have red
eyes. Drow are the same size as elves but a bit thinner. Descending into the
Underworld, they formed cities shaped from the rock of cyclopean caverns. They
developed a theocratic and matriarchal society based on power and deceit.
Females generally hold all positions of power and responsibility in the
government, the military, and the home. In such a society males are often
trained as warriors to become soldiers, guards, and servants of females. Those
males showing aptitude with magic are trained as Wizards instead. While they are
not born evil, malignancy is deep-rooted in their culture and society, and
nonconformists rarely survive for long.

Also, Ornir is hard at work creating a Mudlet GUI crafted to enhance the Luminari experience, and we will be keeping the community posted with updates as they are released.

Development Updates! 12/04/2017
