I started Sojourn/Toril back in fall '95. I've been around on Duris/Basternae since then and am back on Toril again...

So, for casters, the check for meditate is when you type meditate and then at the 1/2 mark in the spell time. When is the check for meditate made for psi's? Every tick? If so, that "abuse" is built into the mud code for one class.

A cool one man quest would be a quest for exp. Not tons and tons of exp, but some. Equipment isn't the only thing people want. I know of one quest in the game that is fairly easy and the reward is a small amount of exp (at least that's the message that you get). Quests of this nature would be very p...

I remember that... I think it was the ice storm that ripped us apart that threw us into disarray and basically scared the crap out of us.

I mentioned this idea years ago when I wanted to mem more pris sprays (8th circle) in my empty 9th circle slots.

Maybe have the bit of code that checks to see if "you're not in danger" checks not only if you are fighting something, but also if anything is in the room that _wants_ to fight you. This would allow you to type flee (and actually flee) before a big, nasty giant steps on you.

Santuary looks like a great spell, but as Kia mentioned, we need to look at mobs casting it. As it is described above, I don't want to fight a high level cleric mob at all anymore. Virtually doubling the hp of the mob and being immune to area damage = Big, mean, icky mob. Maybe tone it down a bit an...

If I remember right, mentals would do the same thing for conjurers. You'd get a mental and in the same heartbeat, poof, no mental.

Ya gotta be careful with the reloc/dim lag on mobs. It makes it _really_ easy to kill them.

Chuckle...Talking about horse racing reminded me of the times when I would have elemental races in WD. I'd tog a few and blind them. They'd want to track me down and kill me. So I'd get about 5-6 and people would pick a mental and follow it. I'd teleport off somewhere and the race would be off. Firs...

I kinda like the strategy idea. But maybe make it so that you don't have to be the leader and the strategy skill only affects warriors(and not mages/paladins/antis/rogues/etc) in the group. Make the skill cumulative also. That way 6 warriors will be more effective than 2 warriors. Something like 2-3...

I'm all for helping classes in need out, but I also believe in priorities. Clerics wouldn't be very high on the list from what I can see (and I'm playing a cleric right now).

I have a theory on why Illithids would notch the med skill faster. It is because the check doesn't have to wait for the 1/2 way point in the spell. They're just gaining mana back so does it happen every tick or something. People who mem/pray spells only get one check per spell. Illithids get one che...

I was playing around with a cleric and found something interesting with Turn Undead. It is an area spell, but it aggro's non-undead. I figured that it would be like holy/unholy word and not affect those who weren't targeted by the spell (holy word only hurts evil align, unholy word only hurt good al...

I saw this thread and just _had_ to post. It brought back so many memories. Anyway, I just had to say hi! You just might see me around on Sojourn3 from time to time in one form or another. And then you just might not recognize me as Lnarb when you do see me http://www.sojourn3.org/ubb/smile.gif
