First, thanks EB; yes, that's what I meant. at avatar things get screwy, since all spells that aren't specificly oog for you are considered in guild at avatar. Hmm. I wasn't aware of that. And I suppose the impact of this would vary across the races to boot (i.e. Avains with almost no additional ski...

It seems there's always been speculation (by myself and others) that some races have an inherently different tnl than the others. Well, I did some research this morning/afternoon. I took a new character from level 1 to 10 in each race, practicing zero skills. As soon as I got to level 10, I recorded...

Well, that and if you have 2 free rounds, why not shoot one, leave the room, wait for the mob to go looking for where you just were, and then shoot another, move, etc...

That said, I do like the idea. But there'd have to be some way to pervent the above from being abused.

I dunno. What all is there to _die_ from from drinking stagnant water? If there's beavers nearby there's giardia... but that doesn't hit you until about a week later, and even then isn't life threatening by itself. I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of anything offhand that would pose an immed...

Everybody wrote:*shrug* I bet you could shave them. It just wouldn't look as good as the other methods suggested, and would grow back faster. (Not to mention the slight problem of putting a razor near your eyes.)

Bah! It's easy!

Kiri, what is the meaning of life?

Post.

That's a thought. I like that, actually. Much quicker decay time, too.

As for the limited skill sets, yeah, DB's got a point.

Heheh. How about the only skill they get is random. ;-)

*nods* Specially that first strike experienced...

Participating in DB's quest has added some Perspective to this whole idea (punny, I know). Anyway, IMHO stuff: First things first: it _is_ pretty challanging - even without any of the "extras" discussed on this thread... If the same quest were run again after the 10 level limit code goes in, things ...

Now rethinking... I think one thing we should try to keep in mind is keeping this new race as simple to implement as possible. Lord knows Slart has enough to do as it is. My guess is that messing with the level system would definetly make this a harder race to create than otherwise. So maybe, instea...

hmmm....how about dying results in loss of a level, but not loss of the hp gained that level? an interesting idea...a VERY hard race ot level, but in terms of hp/mana, the largest potential.... The trouble I see with this idea is that their are definetly some "good" levels to enhance, where gaining...

Blast that Xorex, anyways. I was planning on going the with little head-spinner guy too, until I saw he was already in use...

interesting idea, but lets modify it so that everything they have without a questprize flag goes poof when they die instead. something about the inherent magical nature of a quest prize can keep the item from dissapearing completely. Hrm. My vote would be against this. If the player wants to use qu...
