#53172, "Idea - vary supplication strength"


          

Tie supplication effectiveness to the number of immortals online and other factors.

The IC justification is that when immortals are active, the divine energy associated with their presence strengthens the faith of all religious people.

The OOC justification is that when there is more immortal oversight, it is easier to determine if communers are acting appropriately religious or merely act as spellcasters who need not worry about hurl throat or the veil.

Additional factors in this could be the proximity of the shadow plane and the thickness of the veil.

Empowerment tiers!
Higher supp effectiveness the higher your empowerment tier. It would mean your supps cast at a higher level. Lets say there are 4 tiers. 0-3

0 - Base starting point
1 - Empowered to 51
2 - 2nd viruteish?
3 - Tattoo

This would tie supps to how good of a follower they are. But it would be a pain in the ass to code. So it probably will not happen.

Mostly because active imm presence shouldn't be a factor in supplications.

There's also the issue of people that write up and worship their own religions as opposed to those that follow the tenets of a specific Imm. Empowerment can be enough of a PITA for some people, much less actually getting the character up to Hero -with- that empowerment.

Unless I could magically rearrange my schedule so I didn't have to play after 2AM Eastern.

Not sure if serious? Please don't implement this. So many reasons why this would be bad.

I just picture Baer going vis then boom a million shamans out of the woodwork.

Plus, empowerment is a pain enough, now tie effectiveness to if your imm is around?

However, I do like the idea of a battle armor warpriest having the strength of his spells tied to the hit/dam of his gear!
