I think a couple of people have/had a decent skill in poisoning :S

Wow, thats great, if you are poisoned NEXT to it. The hp loss is fast enough that you'd probably manage 40 steps max before death, without stopping (from spider poison anyway)

100% agreed. One wandering spider gives you 1 hit and you're dead...

...Then you may as well just go and find a magic gem. The reason I suggested different bonuses is to make it a little more interesting. And you could have several unique weapons all as good as each other with different stats. Plus, you might even find a randomised rare weapon that does a better job...

By the way, some bonuses the weapons/items could have: +skills (any skill) +attributes (any attributes) increased critical hit chance random spell (most offensive spells could be included) increased defense against a style of weapon or magic (or even just type of magic - ice, fire, lightning) increa...

I didn't mean everything unique would be mega strong. The weaker stuff could just be challenges for n00bs, whereas the stronger unique stuff (demon skeletons and the like) would be a challenge for higher level fighters. It wouldn't be very nice for a n00b to suddenly get 1 hit by a mummy in the cryp...

Anyone who has played Diablo will know these concepts, and here they are in a nutshell: 1) Unique and rare items: Sometimes weapons/items are found (or crafted) with special attributes. Rare items like this have a random set of extra attributes eg: "You find Strong serinjah sword" - this s...

. I do find it to be bad form for monster to just drop a piece of a book. In the first place a monster needs a reason to have the piece, also, these will become VERY common pieces as fighters will get them randomly while killing. Solutions? either make it so these only drop if a mage is in the area...

even your little pathetic two story and nothing in it caelum had a freaking lock on the door in the begining Yeah, because you BUILT the mages guild, paid for all the stone and construction and everything... :roll: You put in hours and hours, getting the money together, paying hundreds of silvers t...

That'd just end in people stealing each others swords..

And paying 10000 gold for a teaching room isn't money based? The magic book for rune system seems like a great idea. How about having a small chance to gain the pages by doing crafts and stuff? Or library research, eg. "You start reading a book, and find a page that doesn't appear to fit with t...

I just thought stat penalties would be easier to script.

Not that rare...

Why not strength? Suggest something better then.

Why not have 10 second stat penalties then?

HEAD: Blurred vision (looks like fog/blood) (Perc -2)
CHEST: Weakens your armor for a short time (Strength/Const -2)
HANDS: Weakens your attacks (Dex -2)
LEGS: Cripples you for a while (Agility -2)
FEET: Knocks you back a tile or two (Agility -2)

Alright, suggest something better then. Newb mage #47 isn't going to be able to do a lot of that stuff without help, because he'll be a mage with no runes. If I was a mage (which, fair enough, I'm not) I'd choose this over not being taught magic because either hardly any teachers are active or becau...

Estralis Seborian, the GM brought up a very good point; if anyone has any good ideas or concepts we should let them fly. Everyone knows that there is a variety of problems with the magic system even though some would rather not talk about it or compromise it. So we know there's a problem; what do w...

I read all of that and it sounded REALLY good, the best idea yet. I like the way you took everything into consideration like the 2 runes a week thing. Excellent proposal. -Matt I second that! Sounds awesome! Also, perhaps some of them should be puzzle dungeons, since I'm not sure there's that many ...

Please never include itemhunting in magic teaching quests

Why not? Seems like a good idea to me, maybe put them in hard to reach places for higher level runes, so they need to team up with higher level mages or other players to help them get the item.

Sounds good! But what would happen if you got killed as a mummy?

Namehunting? Elaborate please?

That sounds pretty cool, maybe add some decent monsters in there too for added incentive, but what happens when half the player base of illa has got stuck in a forest somewhere?

Looks like somebody can't take a joke. I wouldn't call a bit of light-heartness "causing trouble" , but if you're so worried... Oh, by the way, I paid a visit to your castle the other day. The way double doors work, see, I think you are supposed to lock BOTH halves of the door. You locked ...

Whoever wrote that was right, I've known Dantagon for years. He's always been a bit of an odd one, tending towards violence in secret. *something has been obscured*

Not the kind of person I'd want as a citizen in my town, a violent firestarter.

Alex wouldn't stfu for like an ENTIRE YEAR. So I played. Eventually.

I support William in this. Anybody found in Caelum will be killed. Immediately.

Nobody has seen Dominic for a very long time, apparently he lives on a mountain somewhere now. Why or where, nobody knows...

I just get "Error on #document (null)" when I try and open my chars to give them birthdays
