Interesting firebrand GM's

[Phyrak.7260]

Hey there,

I'm not sure how many remember the old tome elites - but the 'physical' book on the character was pretty rad and they turned into the tomes we have now...just not with carrying a floating book around.

I would like to bring the book back; but also make the firebrand's GM traits interesting in doing so.

This would come via two traits:

Magnum opus: after X seconds in a tome; all pages from other tomes are combined together and gain minor effects from the other tomes based on the tome you're in - eg. Auto attack now deals minor damage in support tomes. (Camping tome play style and backwards compatible like thief's potent poison trait with making the tome you're in stronger)

Infinite library: tomes now have a separate amount of pages each and share a similar cooldown on opening and stowing the tome - rewarding switching between the tomes at opportune times; almost an ele/engi but with a little more leeway on tome cooldowns.

More or less a fun idea giving firebrand a little more identity and flexibility in play styles under the banner of the rather angry librarian

Thank you for reading,
