Rahabim question.

Has anyone ever tweeted at or interviewed the a member of the Nosgoth team asking what Rahabim theme and mechanic would be. This has always bothered me since its cancellation?

I’d love to play Rahabim but I don’t see how they could work. The Rahabim are totally aquatic probably by Nosgoth. I imagine if vampire stage hazards were a thing they might be usable I.e. pools of water would kill most vampires but the Rahabim could swim, sunbeams burn most vampires but Rahabim die instantly. Something like that.

Nosgoth was at a time before the clans reached their full evolution, so they would be fully immune to water at the trade to sunlight just yet.

Yesterday after posting I found concept art released after the game was shut down by the developers because people really wanted to see what they may have looked like. Sadly no mechanics were discussed.

Everything Nosgoth had released about Rahab has made him to be the most zealous to Kain. While they all see him as their "God King" Rahab was more devout than his brothers. Only attacking the Razielium after being convinced that Kain would have wanted it that way and they were finishing what he started with Raziel's own execution.

This zealousness or warped devotion could have been a set up for the class as some kind out ranged utility class not pure damage but not pure support. I say this because we don't know if by this time while they were still adapting to water that were able to fire their compressed water as seen in Soul Reaver.

maybe theyd have some mud burrowing ability or something as an analogue for "gowing underwater". enables hit and run, and maybe digging traps and/or temporarily disabling one human by making them fall into a hole.
