Board Breaking for the Monks

Wouldn't this be cool? Like, a small RP only skill in Kata that allows them to break a wood comm. or something. It'd be a chance thing, since no matter how skilled you may be, you don't ALWAYS break a board on the first try. (I'd know. Black belt, and it took me 2 tries to break a board with a side kick today at a belt ceremony today for the little kids at our studio) I'd be just for fun, as it wouldn't work on people, just a little thing for Monks.

Suggestions? Flames?

What would happen to the broken wood comm?
Unknown2007-09-08 04:28:09
The comm would just be "used" that's not a problem.

My point would be that why does this need to be coded? You could just emote breaking boards. It would also allow you to add a bit more customization to breaking the board then a coded skill would.

I suppose you could just Emote it, but I was going for just something fun. Oh well...
Stangmar2007-09-08 20:38:49
Yeah, just emote it, that way the admins don't have to take time away from more important projects.

If you broke a wood commodity, it would of course split into two wood commodities.

Yes! No more wood shortages.

If you wanted to make this power useful, maybe they can break an icewall with one hit, or smash a weak wooden door in a few hits. That's probably the best use. Or allow them to chop trees without an axe or the environment skill.

yeah, that'd be awesome, along with a certain type of 'bow' that only monks are able to perform

There's already a system for guild emotes. That's just a matter of prodding someone.

No one has any ideas for one, and Aesyra, Alianna and I are stuck. :(

EDIT: I mean no one has any good ideas, since Xenthos keeps trying to insist I use the bad ones.

Oh please yes! Breaking icewalls (or more importantly chopping trees!) Maybe a spirit aura in Harmony such that Serens are slightly better at chopping and we better at breaking doors (slicing wield vs blunted wield?) like the freezing/writhing spirit aura.

actually we already have an icewall one hitter

instead: allow this skill to destroy STONEWALLS in one hit
