I had an idea for a race.  Instead of containing a single race, it will contain a chain of 3 or 4 races.  These will start at some relatively low demon such as a succubi and evolve, eventually, into an Arch Demons.

In addition to their regular class skills, these races will recieve skills related to their class of demon that will cost them favor to use.  Succubi/Incubi will recieve weak seductive skills without strong bonuses.  Lili/Lilu will recieve vampiric skills that drain some life.  Arch Demons will recieve summoning skills to bring lesser demons to fight for them.

These extra skills will be balanced in certain ways.  They will cost increasing amounts of favor, gold, and gems to use.  The rationale in doing this is that the powers would be coming from Ramius but that the users would also have to transcend the material world in order to use them.

The succubi skills would be very weak, comparable to some of the weaker class skills, but with the advantages that they can be used more often, if the user has the materials required, and they will not cost large amoutns of favor.  The lili skills would be balanced by costing more favor and also weakening the lilus in body (although some more expensive skills might actually strengthen their bodies.)  Arch Demon skills would cost a large amount comparable to the others.  The power to support the summonlings would also come from the demon's own body for the most part.  Apart from the occasional buffing summons, these would greatly reduce the attack and defense of the demon.

Demons would advance through their ranks by partaking in a forest event in which they could read grimoires, along with other possible options that might give them extra favor and such.  Reading these grimoires would also unlock skills for these demons.

There might also be a random chance for all gold to be sacrificed to Ramius after a forest fight and multiplied by .1 or .01 to determine how much favor to be added.

My main concern is that these races, especially the more advanced, would be far too powerful compared to other races that are available.  There is the option that I, or someone else, could develop other races like this.  I could have one chain of races that focuses on using favor, this one, one that focuses on sacrifice of gems, and one that focuses on sacrifice of gold.  Obviously the gold would have the highest costs or the weakest effects due to its abundance.

Yes, I forgot to mention this.  The whole idea of the race is to increase replayability.  This would take place over MANY DKs.  They might even start out weaker than other races until they build up their powers.

Is anyone else interested in making a race like this?  If so, I will work on my Lilin race that I discussed.
