I have idea for a RP arti. What with Book of Knowledge.
No it dont gives + to int. You may read it and then you learn one racial language, like krokanian, merian or elfen.
It could be cool. One book would be for one language and if it wasnt more then 100cr then mayby someone would like to buy them.

i'd buy it just so when your in a peaced room and all the serens are chit chatting in elfen you can point and laugh and talk back, that would be a wicked idea, although i think if you bought a changeling cameo you should be able to speak any of them since your like part of them all

Too expensive for something that doesn't get used enough.

How about:

Babel Fish- 200cr
Allows you to hear all languages, etc.

There we go!

If we're going the Babel Fish route... what about going into the Douglas Adams land, and having an arti towel? tongue.gif 200/200/200 weapon stats and it doubles as a shield tongue.gif
Marcalo2005-06-06 17:59:59
i'd so buy 2!!! but only if it cleansed you also

It would have to be a stoned towel.
Marcalo2005-06-06 18:04:09

Ialie2005-06-06 18:08:39

Babel fish is from more than Douglas Adams!

But yes, we need towels.
Manjanaia2005-06-06 19:34:56

I don't want to see these type of artifacts (although having said that, it probably makes it more likely). An artifact that allows racial languages to be picked up by anyone detracts from the uniqueness of that race.

It also means speaking in racial languages becomes utterly useless, as you are no longer addressing your race alone.

First, yes I know Babel Fish is more universal than Douglas Adams, but really, what's more awesome than the Hitchhiker's Guide Universe?

On a serious note regarding language artis, I think either having an arti that'd be sort of like a changeling thing except for languages would be cool. So in otherwords you could add one language to your knowledge and change it every RL day. Another idea is the one stated above, where it's one arti per language, but that'd still allow someone to know all languages.

The idea I really like, is where you have an arti that allows you to learn languages gradually. Maybe it'd have levels, but it'd be cheap relatively to other artis. Basically if you had this arti, and you heard a shout in another language, and you didn't know it, it'd show a garbled message. However, as you heard more and more of that language it'd eventually get to the point where there'd be little defects. The thing though is that over time you lose this on the languages that aren't native to you. If the arti had levels each level would decrease how much is taken off of your knowledge over time, and allow you to learn quicker.

I just want more artifacts <= 100cr, that do novel things. Cool things, maybe not useful things. Yeah, I can grab a pack, or some vials, but they don't have enough "ooo, shiney" to really draw me to buy them.

Ego regeneration rings.

Those Celerity bands that let you move one more room before the "Don't be so hasty message"
Ialie2005-07-27 12:15:29
Did anyone say Key rings?
Ceres2005-07-27 13:05:13

...Why? That seems really silly. Three classes are given flight, one forest specialization race naturally can fly, and so can one city. Why cut yourself short?


Wasn't the Ring of Flight in Achaea 100 cr?
Sylphas2005-07-27 18:30:02
It was 400 cr. Though you could get a quest item that did the same thing if you really needed it, for free.

Changelings should be able to speak every racial language.

This is elementary stuff.
