How to submit a KD's Boss Battles boss
9 years ago
Here's what a boss needs.
Ground Rules:
- No profanity. I prefer my language PG-rated, but anything allowed on American primetime network television would be okay.
- No humans, half-humans, elves, dark elves, dawn elves, dusk elves, twilight elves, or dwarves.
- No extreme violence.
- No extreme fetishes.
- No sexual intercourse.
- Oral vore, soul vore, and CV only. (I may accept certain non-fringe alternatives, like tentacle vore.)
Bosses MUST have these five things:
- An intro ("Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.")
- An outro where the boss wins ("You were all so delicious.")
- An outro where the party wins ("Owww! Why you hurt dracobug??")
- At least one attack that does damage to the party.
- At least one way for bosses to "finish off" party members at zero health (also known as "Exhausted").
Bosses can have these:
- As many attacks as you want.
- As many ways to devour heroes as you want.
- Responses to the heroes using Stun Grenade (otherwise I will write something simple).
- Responses to the heroes using Magic Rope (otherwise this will be omitted).
- Deviations from the normal gameplay, e.g. making the player pick from a list of options.
- Multiple outros, for example depending on how many heroes were digested before winning.
- Moves with special conditions (If it can be phrased as "If X happens, then the boss does Y", I can do it.)
- Weird moves, strategies, strings of attacks, or responses to what the heroes are doing.
- Nobody has yet suggested anything impossible, and I've done my best to add unusual effects like Zetsu's charm, and Relivern's sadistic choice.
It is helpful if you do this:
Any time a word can be variable, it's helpful to single it out for me in a consistent manner, e.g.
[CHARACTER] - The target of an attack.
[HIS], [HIM], [HE] - Automatically replace with the right pronoun.
[DAMAGES], [DAMAGING], [DAMAGED] - replaces the word with the right verb: "scratches", "gravely injuring".
[WILD CARD] - You can provide a reference list of words to fill in anywhere. Lord Treval makes extensive use of this so you rarely see the exact same phrasing twice.
For example, you could have your boss say, "My favorite food is [1]."
And then provide me a key to indicate that "[1]" is to be randomly filled in with "candy bars", "Tofurky", "dollar store Oreos", or "dragon hatchlings".

As for an intro, though, is there any theme that could be used? Like your in-game intro right now takes place in the modern age in a world fairly much like this one. Could other intros take place in, say, the dark ages, or on alien worlds or such? Or should they follow a pseudo-plot?
Technically, I can do whatever I want, so if you want to have space marines with pulse rifles fighting an alien queen, I can put that in. But it is more work, and we're at a stage where I'm still getting the basics in.
The hero classes I can confirm so far are a damage-dealer, rogue (utility skills), and healer. I may add a tank/protector of some sort later. These are intentionally generic, so a healer can be interpreted as a cleric, medic, magic hamster...
