Idea: juggling

Post by Poots »

title says alot. basicaly do it just like we do instruments now. and it doesn't have to be juggling. how about fire or sword eating, or things like that. the only real problem would be graphics.

Imagine the market day where all the merchants are shouting out their products. music in the background from the local band. a juggler and fire eater on the street asking for donations.....sound pretty midevil to me.

ooooorrrr: would this be more of an rp thing? I want my char to juggle, but I don't want to say #me juggles 4 flaming...juggling things. anyone can do that. so I thought why not make it a skill? would it be ok to say #me juggles or whatever?


please post your thoughts.

Have allen begin to practice juggling apples and slowly evolve it ;)
it is how I played my old bard characters when they learned how to play instruments.
You dont need a skill ingame to have your character juggle :)

I guess that would work, I just don't want people to frown on me for suddenly having a great talent. and that this would be easy to do since it's only like the instruments.

and who said my char was Allen? O.o

I did juggling once and it was fun to RP. If you start a skill you porbably need them for every artistic action.

There's no need to implement skills for such things. It does nothing to the gameworld except of some atmosphere. You can just roleplay it. And I doubt everyone will suddenly start juggling because you do.

If you're worried everyone will suddenly be zomg-sup4 haxxor then don't be zomg-sup4 haxxor. Make your character fail and look stupid, it's alot more fun. Take my character, Belgram, for example. He can dance well but he's not great at it and at most market days you'll see him falling on his back on a table and rolling off instead of doing a jig while holding a onehanded handstand.

I'm not worried that everyone else would, but some people don't like it when you rp things like a skill, a pet, or some item that's not implemented. they start bracket wars.

I somehow like the idea of some kind of "artistic" skill.

Maybe juggling then would be influenced by the skill and the player's attributes. I could imagine other things to do.

Like the instruments.

I'm just saying though it isn't the most important thing, it would be really cool and would help the atmosphere, and so easy to prgram. if someone were to just make a little picture or something.
