69878, Fashion Warbanner for orcs
Posted by Vermin on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
The helpfile, the syntax specifically states, "PC corpse" but you can fashion them out of non-PC corpses as well. Could I get some clarification of the bonuses or lack of there of if the corpse is not a PC? Does the warbanner not function at all? Is there a limited or less effect if not from a PC? Is it the same?

It may be time I orc the crap out of all of you. Thank you for your assistance all you orcs players and immortals.

Uh, are you sure you can make them?

You whack a storm giant commander upside the head with a massive, jagged icicle!
Your canoewhack does UNSPEAKABLE things to a storm giant commander!
A storm giant commander is DEAD!!
You receive 312 experience points (40% bonus).
A storm giant commander spills his guts all over the floor.

You can only fashion war banners from the remains of adventurers of renown.


That said, in my experience like 90% of uniquely orc skills work better when the victim/target/materials come from a PC corpse vs. NPC. If you do manage to make them, I'd have to expect they work way better with PC.

(Are you thinking of Mundungu stuff? Cuz those TOTALLY work better with PCs, for sure.)
69882, What about own kill vs opportunity corpse?

I'd think "anything goes" would be more in tune with orc spirit. Does it matter whether it is the orc's own kill?
69884, No opportunity corpses, because that conflicts with the famous orcs' battle pride

JK, of course it doesn't matter.
69885, Ugh sorry there. You are totally right.

I thought I remembered you could banner non-PC corpses, but the last time I played an orc is most likely a decade ago. Thank you for the feedback and help Sir Battle Jormyr!
