Ability for Chaplain: Astral Projection - hlao-roo - 08-10-2014
Idea for a new Chaplain ability/superpower allowing an out-of-body experience:
- Buckle into a chair and meditate to astral project.
- Body and chair continuously rotate, emoting occasionally.
- Go on a journey as a visible but transparent, naked version of yourself--your astral form.
- Be invulnerable, and walk through walls, but leave your body assailable.
- Spy on people and guide their conscience (like some kind of shoulder-angel or shoulder-devil).
- No inventory or status effects, but perhaps radio still drifts into your consciousness.
- Unable to interact by touch, but other senses normal.
- No HUD except health and environmental icons regarding your physical body.
- Traveling is limited to z-level, and maybe space walking is impossible.
- Must stand next to your body to reenter without penalty, so risk increases with distance.
- Ghostbuster gun gibs your soul, zombifies your body.

Get rid of the noclip part and it sounds fun.

There's ways to balance that. It could be on a cooldown, make you vulnerable to vampires and wizards, or have to walk, etc... You couldn't affect anything anyway, just hang out and chat, negotiate for hostages and whatnot.

Ok this COULD work, but changes have to be made.
- Have the whole thing stop if someone talks or makes a loud noise by the chaplain.
- 5 minutes is all you have for your out of body expierience. You have to wait 3 minutes for another go.
- You move at ghost speed, but still have to go through doors and are bound by walls.
- Have your form flash in and out of view when it's close to ending.
This is OP without these limitations.

I feel this would be much better as a traitor item, maybe some sort of meditation circlet you wear on your head.
Especially since they don't get the artistic toolbox anymore.

Traitor Item idea here how about maybe allowing the chaplain to take control of another player for a short bit of and possibly get the player framed in certain ways? It would be pretty funny to get the victim get into a fight with 4 other crew members.

Barring direct control, that's called mindslaving

Would the doors open? Would you be bound to chaplain accessible doors?
