Character now wears a battlemask for extra spooky points against enemies.

Give me some inspiration as to what it might look like. Character is a ranger.

A lot of African tribal masks have the potential to be intimidating or spooky.

Play the PC adventure game Scratches.

What's their personality and style like? You want something that matches them in some way that they'll be happy to wear.

If your ranger is more long-range oriented, more simplistic designs would work better. The enemy won't be close enough most of the time to see or make out any real level of detail.

If they are more close-range oriented, then detail can come in handy. Realistic designs might provide more of a psychological edge, implying to the enemy that this is some kind of creature or monster rather than a person.

My ranger does this. I like really simple masks though.

I'm usually within 30ft of my enemies, paladin in the front hacking away, me firing through him to pincushion the foe.

My ranger's personality is more or less a brooding quiet type - kinda like Geralt.

If it wasn't so played out, a tragedy mask would work perfectly well.

Maybe try something more along the lines of Jack of Blades

What else?
>>
>>43641149
Alright. Basic levels of details would work at that kind of distance. Contrasting colors, wrinkles/creases in the mask, etc. You're gonna want something with some larger than usual eyes so your ranger can properly aim without the mask getting in the way.

Overall basic oni masks like in the OP would work. They're very obvious designs but also very simple. As long as you don't go with something like a tengu mask with a massive beak-nose, it would work pretty well.

That's because that's Dagoth's personality. He's not some cult leader super villian, he's a caring patriarch who's just trying to get down to business and protect the interests of his people. Not because of some burning hate boner, but because its his job and he want to do it swiftly and professionally. Add in the fact that reason he is treating you thusly is because, to him at least, he's basically saying high to his brother who decided to visit from out of town.

Horns would be good for ranged attackers too, wouldn't they? The bigger your horns, the longer your range.

Or, Bethesda hired a shitty VA, as they are known to do.

You could do that but bigger horns will also draw more attention to you. More attention means guys might try to home in on you rather than go after your more subtle teammates. Plus big horns might catch on something while you're moving around.

no, no, no. That's hat size.

Not that getting their attention is inherently bad. While they're focusing on getting to you, you can be shooting at them. And if they're distracted by you your teammates can either pick them off or at least hurt them.

First thing I'm thinking of for a ranger are these masks from Final Fantasy XIV (not the best image of one but the best I could find off google images)

The reason for the goofy ass voice?

The thing you fight is Dagoth Ur's dream of himself. Dagoth Ur's Mary Sue self insert where he's the Saviour or Morrowind.
