#2238, "Sacrificing flavor. A Gameplay idea."
|
This idea is about sacrificing corpses, items, etc.
What I'd like to see is a new command that would allow a character to select who, exactly, he/she is sacrificing these things to. The command could be called "patron", and it might work like this:
PATRON
syntax: patron (Immortal/none) or patron other (enter echo for approval)
"Patron (Immortal)" would allow a player to select any Immortal from the Pantheon, and some others that are not (Talia, Zurcon, etc). Upon doing this, the echo for that player's sacrifices is changed to suit their patron. This command can only be done once without Immortal intervention, and a good reason for changing it.
example: You brutally mangle the body of an elven guard in Onglaurst's name, and are rewarded with 10 copper coins.
example: Uttering a prayer to the cycle of life and death, you claim the body of a lesser troll in Amaranthe's name, and are rewarded with 5 copper coins.
"Patron None" will set your sacrificing echo to the original setting. Note that this can only be done once, and to change it an Immortal must allow it. (This would be used for those who fall out of graces with their patron, most likely.)
"Patron Other" allows a player to create a sacrificing echo of their own, which is then submitted to the Immortals for approval. This is useful for those who have a valid roleplay reason for sacrificing things to a different entity.
================================= Second Part:
The above thing-a-ma-jig could be implemented pretty quickly, but what I would like to see is empowerment classes having all, or at least "some" of their supplications affected by this. It would add a lot of flavor, and I think it would help the roleplaying environment of the game. Think about it...
When that paladin notices that he is "Sacrificing the charred remains of a svirfneblin guard to Shokai," he might say "Hmm, was that really the right thing to do?"
Anyway, does anyone like this? Immortals? Players? Trogdor?
Bizarro I'm helping!
