Good/Evil Pride statue??

Post by Heavy_Metal-2000 »

I think that it would be cool if say a statue was added to each base representing good and evil with options to purchase things the pride shop does not offer.

Example
Statue: what would you like to buy?

PC: I would like to buy AB

Statue: how mcuh AB would you like to purchase?
+1 250 prides
+2 500 prides
+3 750 prides
+4... so on

Keep in mind this can also be used for AC or spells like see invis or maybe energy buffer etc... for a price....

and it would only last say... so many minutes/rounds/ or till death etc..

I cant read minds so plz let me know if you think this would be a good idea.

The idea sounds ok, but you have to spend a lot of pride for even 1ab, or else things might get unbalanced.

considering its like 1600 prides for +10 for a minute with the pride shop item i think if all durations were 1 minute we could make the buyable goods from the statue a bit cheaper considering 1 for 250 is a rip off if u can get 10 for 1600. it would be 2000 prides for +8 from statue.

and im pretty sure if they took this idea into consideration the GM's and rary could figure something out balance wise.


thx for your input tho torm at least someone cares enough to post instead of just browse

i think it would be an interesting idea, but instead, do it for buffs.

like, "what would you like to buy?" "1. Offensive Buff, 2. Defensive Buff" "*list of buffs in each category*" "What level buff would you like to purchase? 3, 6, 9, etc" *takes prides*

if the player is a cleric/druid/sorcerer/wizard/bard then a message will appear "You are already a caster, therefore you cannot be buffed"

the reason for different level buffs is for the duration or effect. some buffs like bull str etc last several game hours, while some only last a few minutes.

the only downside to this would be that you'd lose the buff upon death, so if you get killed quickly its a waste of prides.

its a good idea, but needs somedevelopement

BOTD has a buffer like this, except it uses cash. So, modify it to use prides shouldnt be too hard.

AC AB and buffs could all be good

i would say base the pride value on effects lasting till death and yeh like muse said put things like energy buffer stone skin invis etc.... for purchase.

I know personalyl and have heard quite a few ppl say they wish thee was a way to buy certain buffs for certain situations even if it is till death that could mean 9 pts if u got the advantage. and your spending prides so its not like you can do it anytime you want you gotta work for it.....

Don't see the point. There is too much AB/AC out there like it is.

This might be fun. But...

It could seriously screw up game balance if the pride cost is too low. It shouldn't be possible to buy things like that too often.

I don't agree with this either, another source for not natural power for certain classes.

note* most of the "overpowered" classes are casters. Casters will NOT be able to get buffs in this manner.

So I don't like the idea of any nonmagic class getting buffs, there is a certain point in choosing a class that has buffs you know... Nonmagicialclasses already have much power.

You can't be serious after 10 hours?

Anyways I already made something like this, but it just doesn't seem feasible. Only difference is it currently uses kills. After playing with it, it just doesn't go with what it was suppose to anyways.

Prides were meant to go with the artifact.
