Figürchen / figurines

Post by Banduk »

Der ganze Vorschlag ist nur in Englisch. Es geht darum, spezielle Items (nenn es. Klunker, Nippes, Anhänger) ohne monetären Wert für RP Ansätze zu machen.

My idea is to create 6x16 (96) new items. It should be something like a pendant or charm or however such pretties are called.
The item officially should be very cheap (5 silver) and needs most simple raw materials (one 2nd level raw material only). No merchant will sell it. It will not be found in treasures.

The items can make by experienced crafter only (>70% skill) and exist for the following crafts:
Iron – smith raw material: iron ingot
Gold – goldsmith raw material: gold ingot
Glas – glassblower raw material: gold bar
Naldor wood – carpenter raw material: naldor board
Stone – mason raw material: stone
Thread – tailor raw material: thread

It would need not less than 10 minutes, better 15 to make a single one and a brand new at least excellent tool since the tool reduces durability by 95% during the work.
70% skill – 10 minutes
Ushara model of pure earth
Brágon model of pure fire
Eldan book
Tanora model of pure water
Findari model of pure air
80% skill – 14 minutes
Nargùn 2 dice
Elara feather on parchment roll
Adron bottle with wine leaf
Oldra flower on leaf
Cherga urn
Malachín sword on shield
Irmorom hammer and saw
Sirani 2 hearts
Zhambra Closed eye
Ronagan purse with coins
Moshran crossed bones

The item could be engraved by a priest of the related God. The tool is the shrine of the God.
The item could be worn as an amulet.

The graphic would be the most advanced task. We may take mainly existing graphics and recolor it.

The idea behind:
The low cost but long time to make will hopefully make it unattractive to make it to stock. The capability to engrave it would create unique items.
It will become a gift, used in rituals and becomes cereminial and ideal value.
Since it can engraved by priests it gives a priest any visible value for the community.
The huge total amount should attract collectors. Creating all by yourself would take 20 hrs pure working time so it may become an IG live task.

What speaks against using existing items with a tag. For what exactly do we need 96(!) new items that have no effect but a special inscription?

Great idea Estralis,

if priest have the capability to insribe somethin into any item at there shrine will increase the value of a priest heavily.
Who would not want to devote his primary personal weapon and armory?

The inscript should always start with something like "Devoted by Godxxx:"

As an add the devotion procedure may require some items, maybe same as devotion of priests.

Nevertheless I belive some useless, cheap high level items with extrem production time are interesting (art), but maybe not so much. It might even be a single figurine for each craft and the crafter can describe it in detail by an inscription himself.

How about make these needed items some you can gain from the nature (like pure elements) or from treasure hunt (like Drow equipment). So you can use this opportunity to rp.

By speaking of it, you could also give the items some special effect by blessing it as a priest (priest magic?).
