#REDIRECT[[Meteoran]]
{{flavour|Meteorae are the people of the heavens, fallen to earth. They possess exceptional skills, an uncanny sense for the space around them, and the ability to recover health and magic as they explore the dungeon. However, as creatures clearly not native to the world, they are easy prey for the dark forces that hunt adventurers - they have one-tenth as much time as normal before Zot finds them. (See the section on 'Zot' for more.)}}
 
 
 
==Innate Abilities==
 
*[[Short Lifespan]]: Meteorae are astral creatures, and thus easily found by Zot. Their [[Zot clock]] runs 10 times faster (+600 deca[[Aut]] per floor, for 2,700 decaAut maximum), and they only recieve 200 turns if Zot finds them.
 
*[[Passive Mapping]] 1: Meteorae can sense parts of the layout of the dungeon around them.
 
*[[Glowing]]: Meteorae glow, as if they were inflicted with [[Corona]]. Monsters are more likely to hit, they are unable to go [[invisible]], and [[stealth]] is reduced.
 
*Explore Regen: Meteorae regenerate HP and MP as they explore; for every tile uncovered, you regenerate 1/210 of your max HP and 1/135 of your max MP.
 
*Damage Reduction: Meteorae suffer less damage from every source. See below for more details.
 
 
 
Mayflytaurs have a base [[Strength]] of 9, [[Intelligence]] of 9, and [[Dexterity]] of 9 (before [[background]] modifiers).
 
 
 
==Preferred Backgrounds==
 
*'''Warriors:''' [[Fighter]],
 
*'''Zealots:''' [[Cinder Acolyte]]
 
*'''Adventurers:''' [[Wanderer]]
 
*'''Warrior-Mages:''' [[Transmuter]]
 
*'''Mages:''' [[Hedge Wizard]], [[Earth Elementalist]]
 
 
 
==Level Bonuses==
 
*+1 [[strength]], [[intelligence]], or [[dexterity]] (equal chance) every 3rd level.
 
*20% more [[HP]] than average.
 
*10% more [[MP]] than average.
 
*+5 [[willpower]] per level.
 
*At level 6, gain [[Mana Regeneration]] 1.
 
*At levels 9 and 18, your Passive Mapping is upgraded to ranks 2 and 3, respectively.
 
*At level 15, gain [[Regeneration (mutation)|Regeneration]] 1.
 
 
 
===Damage Reduction===
 
The formula for Meteorae's damage reduction is <code>1d(1 + 1d(1 + floor(XL / 3)))</code>. This is applied against all damage they receive, even against attacks that are normally irresistible like [[smiting]] or [[damnation]]. It is not applied to damage from spell or ability activation sources, such as [[Makhleb]]'s abilities. The reduction is improved every three [[experience level]]s as per table below.
 
 
 
{| class="prettytable"
 
!Level !! Maximum !! Average
 
|-
 
|1  || 2 || 1.5
 
|-
 
|3  || 3 || 1.75
 
|-
 
|6  || 4 || 2
 
|-
 
|9  || 5 || 2.25

|21 || 9 || 3.25
 
|-
 
|24 || 10 || 3.5
 
|-
 
|27|| 11 || 3.75
 
|}
 
Minimum reduction is always 1 point of damage.
 
 
 
[[Poison]] is treated slightly differently; the effective duration of poison is lowered so that up to 25 points of poison damage are shaved at once <ref>{{source ref|0.28.0|player.cc|4187}}</ref>.
 
 
 
==Starting Skills and Equipment==
 
Meteorae start with the skills and equipment listed for their background.
 
 
 
==Difficulty of Play==
 
{{Hard}}
 
Thanks to their extremely restrictive turn conducts, playing like any other character is outright impossible. Meteorae often have to skip floors and imploy [[speedrun|meta turncount strategies]] just to live. These tactics also tend to make them underleveled, even with their obsene stats.

}}
 
 
 
==Strategy==
 
*[[Okawaru]] is a strong god, like always. Meteorae are often underleveled, even with their +2 XP aptitude, meaning that their battles are considered 'tougher' and reward more piety. This can be used to get consistent and strong buffs that make up for being underleveled.
 
 
 
==History==
 
*Will be added in [[0.29]].
 
*A joke species with the same concept, the [[Mayflytaur]], was implemented during April Fools of 0.29-trunk.
