Project Differentiate Good from Evil.

EQ:

Already done. Good has hp. Evil has dr. This is good.

Enchant Weapon:

		at lvl100
Good align:	+10hr +50hp +50mn
Neutral align:	+20hr +10dr
Evil align:	+25dr +5svs

Or something similar to that. You'll get it. I trust.

Enhance Armour:

		at lvl100
Good align:	-25ac +25hp
Neutral align:	-15ac -5svs
Evil align:	+10hr +5dr

Could be overpowered, but then again.. gotta balance
out breath staves.

Bless:

		at lvl100
Good align:	+12hr +60hp
Neutral align:	+12hr -12svs
Evil align:	+12hr +8dr

That's kinda weighted towards Evil too, but it's all
testable. Maybe I harbour a secret bias towards the
darkside.

Colour Spray:

		atlvl50
Good align:	averages DISEMBOWEL, but can
		reduce DR and STR.
Neutral align:	averages *EVISCERATE*
Evil align:	averages ***>SLAUGHTER<***,
		but improves target's DR and
		STR.

Seems pretty simple.
Plenty of other skills and spells that can be changed
like this. Right now there's not really much choice
between good and evil. Good gives you better hp and
breath wands exist. No contest. This would even up
the aligns and could make a possible Ragnarok-style
event much more interesting.

A REALLY EXTREME thing to do would be to prevent people
grouping with people who are opposite to their own
alignment. That sucks though. Shut up Ele.
Better idea would be to have characters power-up in some
way when they're grouped with like-minded people.

I'll think more on that. It'd be complicated to code,
probably.. and my first draft ideas are always silly and
unfeasible so I'll start on the second draft to save face.

Clever, eh?

Hrm. What else?
Oh yeah. Certain spells should be powered down when cast
from a magic item.. (wands, scrolls, pills, potions,
staves) Breath attacks and ultrablast should be at half
damage from them. Spell-ups should be at half duration
from them. I'll think of other examples. Don't touch
healing items, though, they are quite necessary.

Been grouping. Summoning mobs is a popular way of making
exp for a group, as only the most puissant person has
to use their mana. Puissant. Y'like?

I could think of a few things that could make that
interesting. Possibly could be progged to mobs invidid-
ulally, but perhaps their could be mobs that hide stuff
that they're holding when they see people walk in the
room, so you get bonus stuff for killing them when you
summon them. Actually, that's easy to do. I could do
that without help on builders.. *laughs*

On the flipside there could be mobs that attack when
they're summoned so they're off-limits to that tactic.
Could be mean, but I like the idea. Easily doable too, if
I understand entry_progs right. Sniggle Keegan.

THEN finally there could be a room_flag like 'binding' so
when you summon a mob into there you automatically cast
"charm" on it for no mana or extra waitstate, if you can.
That'd make druid/bards a little better.
