IDEAS:

Please reply!



AMystery: change damage messages to be on a sliding scale, so a damp for a level 50 is
500 hp while for 151 its 1500

Ferro: For illithids, biofeedback should deal a portion of the damage the attacker,
hence the feedback.

Ferro: as bright and intelligent as Illithids are, we can't identify things? Why not
give it to use as another spell or an inguild spell.

Ferro: When getting armor repaired, it'd be nice to get an estimate from Beich before he
repairs it.

Disaster: a spell similar to ventriloquate but which gives messages in teh form of
an emote

Frizban: give command a range argument like social, then I could tell what I'm trying to
do with some single letters

AMystery: i would like to see afk and busy flags NOT stored across logins. I and a few
other people would probably look more friendly if they weren't always there. sure, easy
to change on connect, but it would be nice

Disaster: something similar to vehicles, only instead of entering them you mount them,
so you could have horses and elephants and whatnot to ride around on without feeling
like an overly invasive veterinarian

AMystery: spell armor, like spell weapons. they would need to be rare and powerful but
it would be very interesting

AMystery: mobs should automatically pick up food. at least scavengers, but preferably
all. then we give kenders a better poison spell so they can taint food and leave it for
a mob to pick up. then there is a chance it kills them, or just poisons them

Frizban: make identify a hero skill, then maybe I'd stop submitting ideas like 'scroll' :)

Frizban: peek would also be a nice hero skill I think

AMystery: be nice if tellh gave an error message when the history is empty instead of a
blank line

Frizban: character birthdays, maybe just a little message like a repop that says
'today is your birthday!'

Frizban: sneak for heros

Frizban: A message for a failed ego whip. Something like 'a smurf disregards your scathing
comment about his mother.'

Frizban: a flag for heros to turn off healers autocasting on them, then we could stop
hogging all the spells for newbies


Frizban: Have hangman play for spell removal, wipe all spells like dying does.

Ferro: when you cast a spell you are already affected by, it reself the duration of the
spell

>>This would just make illithids even more powerful than they already are. :p You guys have all the decent spells, you don't need more
AMystery: mobs should automatically pick up food. at least scavengers, but preferably
all. then we give kenders a better poison spell so they can taint food and leave it for
a mob to pick up. then there is a chance it kills them, or just poisons them
>>Just to add to this if not yet obvious, kenders getting XP from the kill
Ferro: when you cast a spell you are already affected by, it reself the duration of the
spell
>>I thought this has been brought up before, is there an argument for this because I concur to the idea.
It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world everday always just exactly fits in the newspaper.
