Re: Warrants

It'd be nice if law-types could type warrant and get a list of names, short descs and long descs (and perhaps anything else that is manually added to the file) for each person who is warranted. It's fine that the mobs don't attack, but as a Reeve I'd like to be aware that I'm speaking to someone who...

Re: Magic Discussion - Kinky's Notes

I think too, multiple mages taken by surprise should be able to defend themselves effectively. One thing to consider - if mages can't wear armour and their attacks ignore it, that is in and of itself balanced. I'm not sure that's the direction to take, but something to consider. On the void point - ...

Re: ~Great Deeds~

Whoever assassinated Zin would be a big one.

And I don't think taking down Manus is all that impressive these days unfortunately lol :(

Re: Magic Discussion - Kinky's Notes

@Jei - Maybe both can be done? Have strengths/weaknesses between elements and between regular combat and elements? That'd certainly be appealing to me. @Bennie - I'm still waffling on this issue myself. One thing to keep in mind is that these skills will be used against other mages as often if not m...

Re: Magic Discussion - Kinky's Notes

If anything I'd prefer it to be a spell or different spells that affect armour piercing. You can only have one trick loaded and ready to be invoked at a time, so it shouldn't be too game breaking.

Re: Magic Discussion - Kinky's Notes

Yah, personally I don't see a need for mages to be especially geared to killing knights. I like the idea that mages can defend themselves competently against knights, and that a mage of equal skill is still a threat to a knight, but I'd prefer the true danger to come "tricks" that have to be prepare...

Re: Blessings!

Personally I'd prefer to see this done through the preach command, though may it should be tweaked to be more feasible for just a couple of poses. In terms of barriers to magic, I'd suggest that the effects on player-cast magic should be subtle at most. Everyone should be scared of witchcraft and th...

Spell Idea: Reap and Sow

Spell name: Reap and Sow Syntax: Invoke <object> <person> The idea is this: you invoke this spell on some small object like a trinket or a box or some food or something in the room of your choice. Then you hand it over to the person you named in the invocation. When they open/use/hold it they get tr...

Re: Magic Discussion - Kinky's Notes

Perhaps each element should have a specialty as well?

For example:

Fire
+10% against: Parry
-5% against: Shield

Void (void has lightning... right?)
+5%: Shield
Weak against none

Earth
-5% against dodge
Each attack adds a small amount to your defense value

Re: Magic Discussion - Kinky's Notes

Jei raises a good point on mattack (which may warrant its own thread and which I'll write more on later). What should mattack be strong against? What should its weaknesses be? My suggestions would be off the top of my head that it should be weaker against armoured opponents than your typical physica...
