What if Woodrow was like. 'The Tinkerer?' Winona may already fill that role, but it can always be taken another way! Maybe they get a sanity boost near 'Ironfolk', or maybe they still have J1MMY and use the biodata in another way, like befriending clockworks! Heck, if you really wanna try some stuff out, without putting *too* much on your plate, maybe try giving them a couple quirks from other characters, like Wickerbottom's upgraded crafting tier!

No matter what, make sure you're having fun with it! Klei has a whole team, don't set yourself to their standards. You don't need to make the most perfect balanced and fun to play character ever, you just need to do what you enjoy with them! :D

@joetaz Thank you for the ideas! I was thinking of giving them a whip similar to wandas, like a morningstar on a chain. It doesnt make much sense contextually, but i just thought it would be neat ^^;

@zvxa THAT'D BE SO COOL!!!!

@JoeTaz I’ve actually just finished making the weapon, it’s been fully sprited and implemented in my dev build. At the moment, I’m hoping to add more perks, such as immunity to electric damage while still getting stunned, and double the sanity drain from wetness. I’ve put a request on the forums for help programming those last two bits :D

@zvxa WOAH. INSANE PROPS TO YOU, THAT'S SO COOL!! I hope you can get some help with the other bits!! Excited to see any new updates!! :D

It would be kinda funky if he had a wagstaff effect where he flickered as wx78 if something happened

@Nosidda that would probably be too hard to implement. I’d need wx’s sprite sheets, and a way to implement an effect where woodrows sprites change to wx’s, if even for a second. I’m not *that* good at coding lmao ^^;

I think it would be funny if Woodrow gained more sanity when near Wagstaff and in the moonstorms, since when they were a human Woodrow and Wagstaff were friends. It would also add a bit of difficulty to the moonstorms as they would require more sanity control.

Also, I think it might be interesting if Woodrow did less damage at full sanity. Maybe a .75x or .8x multiplier?

@IcePaxManGamer Hm… I’ll consider that! Thanks for the idea!

I really love this approach you're going with sanity!! Almost as if they care about upgrading every part of themself but their mind...

Do you have any plans for the mechanical bits of the constant (gears, frazzled wires, and such), or is this fully a new direction? :O

Either way, excited to see how this progresses, if you choose to keep at it!!

@JoeTaz I’ve not any ideas about what to do with that for now… If you have any suggestions of things I can add with mechanical bits, let me know! I’d love to add more to Woodrow, and make them more unique.

I think, related to the mechanical bits and bobs, it may be interesting if Woodrow was able to craft the lying robot trinket with frazzled wires and gears, and it also might be interesting if any recipes requiring gears/frazzled wires were available to Woodrow from the start without doing any prototyping. I think it would also be fun if they did more damage with electrical weapons, but to counteract that they used non-electrical equipment (armor, tools, and weapons alike) less efficiently, getting less uses from them.

@IcePaxManGamer Interesting ideas! I'll have to think about how to implement stuff like that. I like the idea about using non electrical weapons in particular less efficiently, might help make their signature weapon more desirable. I also really like the idea of being able to craft Hal!

@JoeTaz okay I know you deleted your post but it just gave me incredible inspiration. I think I'll completely change woodrows sanity/damage multiplier and reverse it to punish insanity and reward sanity more, so that being on the moon would be extra desirable for them. Also the walking buff on lunar turf is genius oh my goodness I have to implement that asap

aww, rest in piece unhinged woodrow lol. ill miss the damage buff from being insane, and really liked it a lot for their character theme/concept-wise, but tying the moon into their perks would also be really cool! and yeah, being able to craft hal would be really nice 🥺
