18100, Some sadistic flaw ideas
Posted by jasmin on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I was just going off the primary senses. I think these could make characters a lot more interesting. Some would be difficult in the extreme, if not impossible to function well.

Deaf- obiously, can't hear. No cb channel, no tells etc.

dumb- Can't speak, but can hear channels, yells, says, etc.

blind- perma blind, this is that difficult in the extreme one. Maybe make it so they can still follow a group somehow or something.

numb- no affects list

I think there should also be one that makes the char more susceptible to the various illnesses (i.e., flu, AIDS, the clap).

I actually rolled up a character with this flaw in mind-- the constantly coughing frail mage sort of thing, et cetera. I was thinking for some reason the sickly flaw was what you speak of, but no dice.

I would actually like to see more flaws. Perma blind might be a bit over the top though. While we're at at, we might as well throw in paralyzed. Aargh.

someone could make a herald or something, and be completely bitch ranked to hero. Mage or assassin would be even cooler. I admit it would be very very niche, but could be damn cool.
18105, It'd probably be hard to code

Since you'd have to change the way a lot of things work (i.e., eating, drinking, following, wearing, wielding). I might do it later in life, like at hero, but getting to hero as a blind person would absolutely suck. You'd also pretty much be hardcore pk bait.
18106, I was hoping for a quadrapalegic battlerager.

You say 'b-b-bring it then.'

You yell 'Help! Bullyguy just attacked me!'
Bullyguy's smash *** DEMOLISHES *** you!
Bullyguy's smash *** DEVASTATES *** you!

Your useless thought of flailing misses Bullyguy.
You deliver a blow of deadly force!

Bullyguy stifles a laugh as you think of bashing him.

tell Bullyguy I-if I had the use of my limbs you'd be d-dead.
