#15826, "idea: new summon echo"


          

Add a special failure echo when someone attempts to summon a mob that's "permanently" non-summonable. If the mob had just wandered into a nosummon room, or was on another continent, was just too high level for the summoner, or some other "transient" thing that would prevent summoning, then no special echo is given.

#15834, "Better idea! Make it an edge for summoners!"

They get a more descriptive version of summoning failures. God knows there's enough reasons for it to fail, that this could be a really damn handy edge - that wouldn't strictly increase power as much as utility.

Nice idea Isildur!

The elite dwarves upon implimentation. They could get the echo and step into a guild


I always wondered, do they not get highly suspicious on how many dwarves that go on duty just seem to dissapear before their eyes? I mean, talk about your paranoia. I bet they think that place is swarming with duergar.

Edit: And somewhere, far below them, there is someone trying to figure out how the dwarves have kidnapped their king YET AGAIN.
