Ashen One Major Ability Revisions

[Mr. Bambu]

Put frankly, as it stands, the Ashen One is severely nerfed.

The Ashen One has a huge range of abilities not represented on their page. This includes equipment abilities ranging from Earth Manipulation to Durability Negation (to some degree).

Here is a list of proposed abilities to be added with respective items/spells/equipment/etc. Some items will be left out, but one or two examples will be given.

Acid Manipulation- Acid Surge Pyromancy

Limited Sound Manipulation- Spook, Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring

Darkness Manipulation- Onyx Blade, Frayed Blade, Black Serpent

Earth Manipulation- Boulder Heave, Earth Seeker, Quakestone Hammer

Ice Manipulation- Snap Freeze, Irithyll Straight Sword

Air Manipulation- Storm Ruler, Tailbone Spear, Storm Curved Sword

Other forms of Summoning- Valorheart (Lion's Spirit), Insect Swarm (Gnaw and Dorhys' Gnaw)

Aura- Lothric War Banner, Warmth

Limited Curse Manipulation- Crucifix of the Mad King ("A cross spear hung with a malformed corpse. Once, a mad king was born to the pygmy royalty and Shira, knight of Filanore, put him to rest. But Shira's cross spear, unable to kill the undying king, only pinned itself to him. Shira delivered them together to the darkroom, where she stayed and held them close.

Skill: Mad King's Folly

Slam malformed corpse into the ground to briefly awaken it, then fillet with strong attack to trigger a road, a blessing, or vexatio

Holy Manipulation- Pretty much every Miracle to some degree

Extremely Limited Probability Manipulation (Purely based around minor luck)- Shield of Want, Symbol of Avarice

Durability Negation against Shields- Darkdrift

Healing Nullification/Status Effect Nullification- Hunter's Charm/Duel Hunter's Charm

That's all I have right now.

 

[The_Everlasting]

This all seems fine to me.

 

[Heilergott]

is the Crucifix of the Mad King not also strongy indicated to keep the king subdued?

 

[Kaltias]

Looks fine. Which level of healing negation though?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

@Heilergott Yes? What are you implying?

@Kaltias It creates a small cloud of mist that keeps any foe from healing via Flask within it. (Estus Flask is the main form of healing in game)

 

[Heilergott]

I think there is something like Ressurection Supression in the Crucifix, or at least something similar, otherwise the King would have woken pinned to the staff.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Nothing says he isn't alive there. The weapon even wakes him up when used properly. He's just pinned down to it.
