The Plot

Characters / Misc

• make usable commands listed on character?
  • possibly stupid
  • would mean adding socials
  • auto-add skill commands
  • eliminates "do_not_hear" commands?
  • cmd skills and hooks would register with room, then entering the room would have to register with character, and unregister when leaving room?
• Do something with email address (optional)
  • Send newbie guide, or some-such (word doc, or pdf or something)
• Move all the no* channel commands to a single command with toggles (setcom on one mud)
• Autoauction system
• Retain free stat knowledge on an identified item - DONE
• (re)implement MSP
• FreeTrade system
  • Wizards stock shops w/scrolls
  • Warehouses make wares & transport them to places
  • Transports can be hijacked
  • Other classes make potions, weapons, etc
  • Crafting skills
    • Potion recipies
    • Armor construction
    • Clothing construction
    • Food (cooking)
    • Enchantments to improve items
  • Transport on boats
• People can carry people
• Items carry people (pokeballs!)
• Experience
  • group bonus (based on group size?)

• Jagang: one thing I think needs to happen is we need to make it so eventually for some of the better items, people will have to actively use the market/auction to find players that use trades to benefit them
• Jagang: a smith may have to contact an enchanter, to imbue some kind of mineral or something
• Jagang: back again to stimulating the market
• Brazil: ahh, so like getting arcane leggings... but you need a wizard with the right smithy skill to unlock the enchantment
• Jagang: yeah something like that, like lets say your smith makes a pair of Strong Steel Leggings , then an enchanter has a imbue memorized - "Greater Fire Protection", after she did her thing , it would be Strong Steel Leggings of Greater Fire Protection
• Jagang: Or an alchemist makes a potion of luck, then a miner supplies gold flakes to go in the potion , which makes it The Entrepreneur's potion - 10% more gold from monsters
• Jagang: A skinner gathers some rough leathers from some of the wilderness mobs, then a tanner hardens the leather , giving it an AC bonus, then an enchanter could put some small effect on them
• Jagang: have some way of regulating how good an item could get - dependant on the grade of materials used on the item
• Jagang: make the players create items with their trade skills to level up on the trade
• Jagang: when they surpass a point , the lower level items will no longer level them
• Jagang: then they will have to go to other players for ingredients needed , to make the items good enough to skill up
• Jagang: it almost "forcibly" stimulates the market

• Jagang: have it so the people can make their character a "free-play" character , where they play the mud like normal, or have a story mode option, where the player could follow a story line,
• Jagang: like starting life on a farm , with a family , losing the family devestatingly etc
• Jagang: maybe have a "plane" dedicated to it
• Jagang: On this plane , you start off where everyone else does , in the same "story" , but you can take it in whichever direction you want
• Jagang: I know that's kinda out there, but I think with some thought it could turn into something really interesting
• Jagang: yeah , it adds the "choice" for an rp element

Witch

Race: Template From AddictWiki Natural resistances / weaknesses:

... Perm Affects:

... Regen: (hp/mana/moves/psp)

... Misc:

• Would only be female (maybe)
• Could have a familiar that was bound to them.
• Main Key to them would be they could Brew potions and make elixirs.

... Ideas:

• Witches could also create things with herbs, needed Skill-Herb Mixing-They would learn this around say level 9ish? Needed items (besides the ingredients) would be a mortar and pestle (yes i know i'm a pain) syntax would be use herb mixing at <desired result> ie

herb mixing at kiss poison. The skill would check for needed items in inventory and remove them automatically. Would take a set number of tics to create the item.

• Still debating how to let them learn what reagants are needed for what items, perhaps by simply giving them a list on the website but I dont know.

• Also let them be able to create wands. Must have a wand of nothing, these would load randomly in the MUD. Learn this skill at a higher level. Witch could charge the wand with any of their known spells, syntax use wandmaking at <spell>. Takes a set # of tics, and we'd have to settle on an amount of charges.

• Brew potion-same type of idea as above. List of reagants still debating. syntax use Brew potion at <desired result>. Would require a Cauldron(hmm could this simply be in the same room as them?)

... Questions / Issues:

... Special help files to be created:

Chronomancer

• Gains spells and skills that affect memorize time, casting times, regen, haste / slow, and aging

   Wrinkle  
   cost: 1 Minor Charge 
   effects: The minor blast spell will age its target, as well as dealing damage. 
     
   Stitch in Time  
   cost: 3 Minor Charges 
   effects: Casting Stitch in Time will return a damaged or otherwise altered object to its prior state (in essense, "unbreaking" things). The object must have been broken or had its condition changed within a minute of the spell for it to work. Uses for Stitch in Time include "unbreaking" a window, returning a quarter to your pocket after using it to use a public phone, unlocking a door that someone just locked, etc. 
 
    
   Tempus Fugit 
   cost: 1 Minor Charges 
   effects: The mage can speed up time around himself (giving him an automatic S in iniative contests, two attacks in one round or some other effect), others (for good or ill), or objects. This spell lasts for the duration of a combat round or for about 5 seconds of non-fight time. 
     
   Lethargy 
   cost: 1 Minor Charges 
   effects: A Chronomancy spell that slows its target down. Similar to Tempus Fugit in that caster can use this spell on himself (very handy when the mage has suffered a serious injury). 
     

   Geezer 
   cost: 1 Significant Charge 
   effects: The significant blast spell will cause the Chronomancer's victim to age rapidly and deal damage. Older victims are especially vulnerable to dying outright from the effects of this spell. 
     
   Hypnotize 
   cost: 1 Significant Charges 
   effects: This spell causes its target to fall into a trance, unaware of his surroundings and the passage of time. The victim will not be aware of his trance-state, nor will think anything is amiss when he snaps out of it (until he notices the time or the fact that the ice-cream he was enjoying is now a puddle). A minor casting will Hypnotize its target for a number of seconds equal to the magick roll. A significant casting will expand that duration to minutes. The target will come to his sense if disturbed (someone shaking him, being burned by a cigarette) but will be obvlious to most external stimuli. 

   Out of the Loop 
   cost: 2 Significant Charges 
   effects: The clocker can remove himself from the timestream, only to reappear later in the same state and location. To outsiders, the mage appears to vanish into thin air (Stress checks as appropriate). A minor charge enables the mage to vanish for a number of seconds equal to their magick roll, a significant charge expands those seconds to minutes. 
     
   Anachron 
   cost: 3 Significant Charges 
   effects: This spell enables the Chronomancer to rapidly age or to reverse the aging process, restoring the mage to the EXACT STATE he was at that age (this spell will effectively remove injuries, both physical and mental). It takes about a minute for the mage to alter one year of his age and this alteration lasts 24 hours (or as permanent as a Chronomancer can be) unless the mage has never artifically aged himself by sacrificing his years of his life. In this case, the age change is permanent if the clocker desires it so (if not, the 24 hour rule applies). Anachron cannot return the mage to an infantile state (~18 months). Modern Chronomancers call this formula spell "Class Reunion" due to its regenerative properties ("Gawd, Margaret! You haven't changed a bit!"). Casting this spell requires the clocker to make a Stress check vs. Self. Failure could result in the creation of a Doppleganger...

-Gnosis- Primary Attribute- reduces the cost of all chronomancer skills and recharge rate

-Flux- increases effectiveness of spells that speed up allies abilities, spells or attacks, increases effectiveness of spells that hinder or slow enemies

-Divination- increases effectiveness of spells that may reduce attacks, prevent attacks or give attack bonuses to allies

Divination

Destiny: Enchantment, the next time an allies attack would miss, target ally would have that skill instantly recharged. Upon using it again, that skill would recharge 30% slower. It is not your time: Enchantment: next time target ally would die, he gains 15....75 health. Whenever health is gained in this fashion, you lose 9....2 energy. Probablity: Temporal Ritual, next time an attack would miss, target allies attacks would not be evaded. Smile of Fortune: Temporal Ritual, for X seconds allies in the area only recieve 65%....40% damage.

Anamoly:

Area Amidst: Temporal Ritual, all foes in area experience 3...7 energy degeneration, your skills recharge 20%....5% slower. Downtime: Target foe is knocked down and loses 5....25 energy.

After spell target ally only regain 30% health lost this way. Temporary Cemetary: Temporal Ritual. For X seconds target foes cannot resurrect allies. I Can't Focus Here: Temporal Ritual. Whenever target foes in area cast a spell that would take 10...4 seconds to cast, that spell would be interupted.

Knight

• Skill/Spell 1: Doublestrike - checks if the Warrior is holding an item of type "weapon". If so, slight chance that held weapon and wielded weapon have their average damages combined. Or maybe have their damage dice combined? Low % chance of success.

• Skill/Spell 2: Knight's Protection 1 - (better name?) gives 5% resistance to a RANDOM attack type (of all possible resist types). Decent length of time. Spell?

• Skill/Spell 3: Knight's Protection 2 - (better name?) gives 10% resistance to a RANDOM attack type (of all possible resist types). Decent length of time. Spell?

• Skill/Spell 4: Knight's Protection 3 - (better name?) gives 15% resistance to a RANDOM attack type (of all possible resist types). Decent length of time. Spell?

• Skill/Spell 5: Maiden's Blessing - +1 attack skill/spell. Possibly make this passive once practiced? If it stays a skill/spell - maybe a very low % chance of +2 attacks? Moderate failure rate?

• Skill/Spell 6: Dragon Slayer - Gives 10% fire resistance.

• Skill/Spell 7: Chivalry - Knight sacrifices his own hitpoints to benefit the group. Lowers maxhit by 25% and gives that amount of maxhit to all grouped members. (is 25% too much? will people group a high HP warrior for this spell, and then ungroup and go on their merry way?)

• Skill/Spell 8: Heroic Scream - Skill that would redirect all non-partied mobs attacks onto the Knight.

• Skill/Spell 9: Gallantry - Increases maxhit by 10d10 and maxmove by 5d10

• Skill/Spell 10: Arthur's Gift - +50 hp_regen, moderate duration.

Paladin ---> Crusader

Info for the guild 'Crusader'

 Type of guild              : SubClass
 Required to level          : Exp
 Per level Bonuses          : N/A 
 Regen bonuses              : N/A 
 Required class             : Paladin
 Required remorts           : 1

 Skills granted by guild:
   [ 1] - 

This would be a guild that you could only join as a Paladin class. Natural CON of 14 and Natural STR of 18 required. (requirements could be tweaked).

The class could get some slight boosts to spell casting and/or melee skills. Guild levels based on NPC kills, similar to Darkknight. Gains 3 maxhit, 3 maxmana per Crusader level. (-15% hp regen penalty) (+5% mana regen bonus). Does there need to be a slew of on level/passive bonuses and penalties?

• Skill/Spell 1: Crusaders' Might (1) - First of 3 alignment based spells. For Paladins with alignment of 350-550, they will receive a bonus of 10% damage dealt to evil aligned mobs. No penalty or bonus versus neutral align mobs. Penalty of 10% damage to good aligned mobs.

• Skill/Spell 2: Crusaders' Might (2) - Second of 3 alignment based spells. For Paladins with alignment of 550-800, they will receive a bonus of 20% damage dealt to evil aligned mobs. No penalty or bonus versus neutral align mobs. Penalty of 20% to good aligned mobs.

• Skill/Spell 3: Crusaders' Might (3) - Third of 3 alignment based spells. For Paladins with alignment of 800-1000, they will receive a bonus of 30% damage dealt to evil aligned mobs. No penalty or bonus versus neutral align mobs. Penalty of 30% to good aligned mobs.

[These are meant to be similar to the spell Smite. It's possible that they're granted spells. Not sure if they have to be cast on a person or on a weapon. I would say we might want to question the allowability for them to stack (do we want the capability of a 60% combined damage boost? I would scatter the three spells among the Crusader levels, maybe level 1, 15, 29?]

• Skill/Spell 4: Hero's Prayer - This spell would drain the caster's mana total and apply that to maxhit. The duration of the spell would be the amount of mana switched to maxhit, which would slowly trickle back to mana at 5 per pulse. You wouldn't be able to recast until the mana was fully restored. (not sure if this is feasible). Would probably require mana regen to be set to 0 for the duration. High level.

• Skill/Spell 5: Mighty Blessing - All partied players receive a bonus of +2 hit and +2 dam.

• Skill/Spell 6: Purification - Cures poison and disease. Guild Level 25?

• Skill/Spell 7: Sacrifice - Lose 50% maxhit for a gain of some % or # damroll.

• Skill/Spell 8: Healer's Prayer - Sacrifices 1/3 of maxhits and awards that amount to maxmana. Fairly long itmer, medium level spell.

• Skill/Spell 9: Enstill - blocks a mob from fleeing (formerly a paladin spell).

• Skill/Spell 10: Divine Refresh - restores movement points (50% of the amount vigorize does)

more to follow on Crusaders later

• Instead of Hero's Prayer (paladin already has a decent amount of hp boost spells) - maybe an area attack skill/spell, since paladin doesn't have one.

• Skill/Spell 11: Shield Swing: The Crusader swings his shield in a mighty arc causing damage to all non-partied mobs in the room. Cost: 30-40 movement.

Bard

Spell Ideas:

• Elation: Group effect-+2 strength, +2 Dex
• Dolorous Motes: Creates a blinding haze of light that stuns mobs
• Sustain: Elevates Hunger/thirst for set duration
• Stars of Arvandor: Tiny starbursts deal 1d8 damage to all evil creatures-damage type moon
• Heaven's Trumpet: Blast of music paralyzes mob, unable to flee or melee.

Race Specific Spell Ideas:

• Dwarven Lore-it augments the existing bardic knowledge when casting a bardic info spell-so it would give them a more detailed information on it (Race: Dwarf)

Neat Name for a Spell-Faerinaal's Hymn

Rogue

Newbie Guild

• -- just a random idea
• Max level of 10

Professions

• Guild level gains
• Requires registration to gain crafting skills (join guild)
• Limited numbers of guilds you can join
• Leave guild, skills not granted from other guilds slowly go down until 0
• Charge to join? (depends how many guilds already in... dedication fee)
• Build guild houses
• May have to join guild again in alternate plane to get benefits there
• Plane restrictions only matter in material planes

• Jagang: a cool idea that vanguard uses is gear specific for tradeskilling , so when you are lumberjacking, you wear certain gear to improve your yield , etc
• Jagang: But on another note - If we have a tradeskill of a clothier or tailor, they may be able to make gloves that will protect foragers from the poison of the plants

Mapper

Jagang: being that you said it figures out the trail, maybe we could have a side -tradeskill , maybe a skill for a spellweaver or something , not sure what guild it would fit in

Jagang: but a mapmaker , once they have the right items , they can run a command which would draw a map on a sheet of vellum,

Jagang: like a path, but shown on the paper

Jagang: then they could sell them in their shops

Jagang: "A map from Midgaard to New Thalos - 10 Gold"

Jagang: also they could toggle on/off mapmaking while they are in a zone, each room they go to while they have this command on , it uses a reagent/item they have on them

Jagang: and draws out the area on the map as they navigate, kinda similar to buildwalk

Jagang: but of course it would be restricted to a certain # of rooms on X and Y axis

Jagang: otherwise it would get ugly

Jagang: You have 5 pints of ink and 1 piece of 10x10 vellum, you can draw a 25x25 room map , before you run out of materials
