#44875, "AP hypothetical question"


          

Was thinking about this earlier today, and let's say, you're an AP at level 36 when you get unholy, and up until that point you've got like 100 pks and zero deaths, you're a real mean machine. Would it be possible to collect your own charges through suicide or that part of the code when you get below 0 hp and start to scratch yourself. I see both of those things as working to kill yourself, and was wondering if you could build a weapon on yourself.

If it did work and you profited from it, it would be considered an exploit and you wouldn't get to keep it. But the weapon-charge code is smart enough to account for many things, I'm betting that was anticipated.

Falling on ones sword seems like it could be a good idea, but I see how that would not be fair because a high charge AP could snowball even more if he/she could just harvest his own "charge-worthy" juice from him/herself. I guess it would be like recycling in a way.

Sorta like Bear Grylls. The internet has ruined me.
