Powers

Pack Leader

Arms: Coordinated Work, Sick Em
Head: Pack Loyalty
Skin: Soft as Fur
Torso: Myriad Armor

The most prominent ability that Pack Leaders have is the ability to summon their own pack. Additionally, they can use their Pack Leadership to make all their pets more powerful. You can have, at max, four pack members from this, and they will conflict with all non-Child, non-Roo pets.

Power Default name Role

Pack Martyr AlphaFemale Cover Tank
Pack Hunter BetaMale Stacked DoTs
Pack Striker BetaFemale Big hits DPS
Pack Mender OmegaMale Direct Healing
Pack Matron OmegaFemale Regeneration
Pack Seer GammaMale Offensive Support
Pack Elder GammaFemale Defensive Support
Pack Flanker DeltaMale Defensive Debuffs
Pack Trapper DeltaFemale Offensive Debuffs
Pack Berserker EpsilonMale AoE Repeats
Pack Dervish EpsilonFemale AoE Debuffs

You can also set the names @set me=Minion Name/(pack member):<name>.

  • An example: @set me=Minion Name/alphamale:Dalibora

Additionally, the Pack Leader form can be customized. There are multiple forms, all of which support Arm Divider and Tail Divider, you can choose from by setting @set me=custom/Pack Leader/shape:<option> with the following options:

  • bovine -- The default form, and the one chosen if you do not make a valid selection. A Holstein cow, and an obvious favorite of its developer.
  • feline -- A liontaur shape, taken primarily from the Lion Beast and Panther Taur patterns in the zoo.
  • canine -- An Australian Cattle Dog, excellent at herding a large group at once.
  • insect -- A wasp queen, possessing an extra set of arms and a wicked stinger.
  • avian -- Odd one of the bunch, a Prairie Falcon. Lacks hands, but makes up with it by having wings and some nasty talons.
  • aquatic -- Piranha, complete with strong legs and insane jaws.
  • succubus -- A new addition made on Valentine's Day, 2013. Show the post-apocalypse a love that cracks like a whip!

On top of that, a Pack Leader can customize their form more carefully. This does require Nanite Fine Tuner and the Nanite Adept dedication at least. This requires locking, which is toggled on by using @set me=custom/Pack Leader/lock:on. This bypasses the local stat, loading your last Pack Leader form completely. You can turn it off by using @code me=custom/Pack Leader/lock:. Here are the steps to do this, using 'avian' and 'feline' forms:

  1. Start as anything not Pack Leader. Abuse your right to free shift human if you can.
  2. @set me=custom/Pack Leader/shape:avian
  3. shift Pack Leader
  4. @set me=custom/Pack Leader/shape:feline
  5. shift ass=0 (or any other infection. Just anything not Pack Leader for a second)
  6. shift ass=Pack Leader
  7. Okay, so now you're a bird with a catbutt. Cool! There's a slight problem here, though. Next time you shift to Pack Leader form, you'll be all cat! That kind of defeats the purpose, so now let's just @set me=custom/Pack Leader/lock:on
  8. Let's put this to the test. Shift to any other form, now back to Pack Leader. See how the messages were way shorter? See how you're totally still a gryphon?
  9. Celebrate!

Additional Equipment

With the Pack Assigner, a Pack Leader can set the race AND descriptions of their pack instead of just the names! The syntax for the race is:

@set me=Minion Race/<pack member>:awesome race

  • An example @set me=Minion Race/betamale:Latex Fox

And for the description it is:

@set me=Minion Desc/<pack member>:<description>.

  • An example @set me=Minion Desc/betafemale:A Fenrir Wolf with a set of teeth that go through anything, Elsa's only problem is that she doesn't know when to *stop* biting things!

Thematic Information

A mighty leader, you control your underlings in such a way that you don't even have to speak, be they children, or servants you act as one, a pack. This gives you the ability to call up to four minions with you at any time and makes your team act as a pack far better than most. In addition gives you a couple of extra AI slots while the dedication is active to help manage your larger army.
