I was thinking about this again recently and I think when the city permanently bans someone perhaps their stuff should be sold at auction by the city. The city could recap some of the costs associated with repeat offenders that aren't going to pay up. It'd also give the criminals an opportunity to ...

Might as well just get rid of the carpentry skill, if support beams were added for sale. It'd be redundant. Many go pay at infirmaries or use first aid to heal. Nothing different to buy beams if there are no carpenters to make them. The difference is that Carpentry is a profession skill that's 1.)i...

Aquariums are also pretty complicated ecosystems, and require regular maintenance. Chances are the people that kept aquariums in the 1800s were probably at least moderately wealthy and probably had some minor background in chemistry, if they were successful at least. Without keeping the water proper...

It's worth mentioning that it's very unlikely you'll ever get a masterwork bow with 0 in y our bowyering, regardless of your actual Woodworking skill. While woodworking adds to your Bowyering, it doesn't add anywhere near that much. I'd also like to add that you don't HAVE to fell trees to practice ...

Considering the debuffs that Mummers have can, under the correct circumstances, make them just as deadly as the Aeromancer in your above example, that doesn't seem like a great reasoning to post an idea like that. That out of the way, I'd argue that because all magic requires intense concentration, ...

Ahh, I'll be at work at 11am mountain time, but I might be able to catch the tail end of the chat.

It's going to be too late for me, unfortunately.

What helpfile and references do you mean?

Arrow deflection seems rather defensive for the Claw of Shar, but the Dwaedn Wyr have minor defensive abilities. Considering the nature of the Dwaedn Wyr, I think it would fit in theme with the guild, seeing as it would offer minor defenses to mental assaults only when under the influence of their B...

It might be a nice addition to Boar's Blessing if it gave a resistance to environmental factors such as extreme cold.

Unshakable Fury The Dwaedn Wyr are known for their stubborn attitudes, and their dismissal of magic as being "for pansies". As such, when they work themselves into a battle frenzy they can sometimes shrug off magical effects that would leave others on the ground or in a daze. Prerequisite...

I'm not sure it should be automated. You can already manually remove items that are lodged in you.

A couple of things I'd like to address about the topic, from the perspective of what I suppose you'd say is a "veteran" player. 1.) Vanilla combat with a weapon can be boring at times early on. However, if you're playing a Dwaedn Wyr, you may want to look into trying out the Brawling syste...

A spyglass still would not improve a person's chance of spotting someone hidden. Like I said, a spyglass just magnifies your vision, it does not actually improve it. And like Acarin says, you're willingly reducing your own field of view in exchange for seeing things further away.

I think it's pretty reasonable that someone that doesn't have special training or a means of camoflauging his or herself has issues hiding in a flat, nearly barren environment. And whether or not Perception is easier to train or Stealth is easier to train is, I think, based on personal preference. S...

Sometimes, a willing suspension of disbelief is required for games in instances like this. Unless you're caught in roundtime when you're pointed out, you could hide and sneak out, which defeats the purpose of the militia. If you don't want to be caught by the militia, there's a few easy things to do...

This seems like a neat feature, though it'd be something I'd implement later rather than sooner. The Utasa ability idea I had (farsight lense) would fit in nicely with your concept, as an alternative means of scoping out areas. However, I'm not sure why a spyglass would help you to see hidden people...

I'm not sure that multiclassing would be a great idea for the MUD. It would probably lead to less customisation and more people gaining abilities from "sister" classes so they can maximise their combat potential. For instance, Rooks gaining Hydromancy from being a "sister guild" ...

[quote=Acarin]Please stop trolling this thread for your own amusement, Nootau. You are not a leathercrafter to my knowledge and really have little to contribute to this conversation. There is a major issue with the system right now and I would prefer you not get involved just for the sake of your ow...

I'm taking a break from the game. There's certain aspects to things that I'm getting annoyed with, and I'd rather just take a break and leave it alone for a while instead of letting things get to me, and get under my skin. I'm not going to state any specifics here, or answer any questions as to why ...

Acarin seemed pretty adamant on it. Most likely in response to my thread about cryomancy.

I'm pretty sure Rooks can steal energy via the Essence Leech spell.

I'm a little curious as to how Sorcery crafts illusions myself. I understand the control of light levels, but how it can be used for actual illusions seems a bit confusing to me.
