Palmreading, for Tarot users. It wouldn't do anything except have a random message telling the person about their love life, impending dangers, or some other aspect of their future. Perhaps it could be based on the person's race or organizational affiliation, similar to the dreams or insanities. Or maybe the idea is too cheesy and you can just forget I said anything...

The same could be done with Runes or Astrology, they're all systems of divination tweaked for combat.

A skill to make a room glow with light such that movements by shrouded people into and out of the room are visible, and shrouded people are visible inside the room.


Maybe this can be given to willowisp. Sort of like a room-based thirdeye.
And then let willowisp afflict faeriefire when you order it to attack someone.

Not a bad idea, though I think it would be cooler as a room effect like moondance light or carcer that showed up in the description.

Nobody uses faeriefire though. Why would a dancer need to faeriefire when magic attacks never miss?
Shiri2006-09-14 07:10:03
Because it cancels out shroud, so they're no longer invisible when moving/waking up/etc. It's extremely useful. I don't know if the part where they're easier for warriors to hit even works, if it does I've certainly never used it for that.

And if they choose to focus spirit, more mana drain for toadcurse.

For Necromancy users:

Raise dead - This ability allows to raise corpses (should you have one or in the room) into a skeleton and the higher skill in Necromancy, the stronger the skeleton gets (No, not TO strong like Near God hood or something)

Yeah, I know, I got this from Diablo ninja.gif
Shorlen2006-09-14 10:29:50
Faeriefire is a VASTLY underappreciated affliction. You don't see people move, writhe, or wake up if they are shrouded, as well as where and if they move.
Gelo2006-09-14 10:39:28
Aaah so thats what its for. Meh. I never bothered with it because I have thirdeye tongue.gif

Thirdeye only lets you see them when you QL - it doesn't stop the other things from being hidden. You really should use it if you thornlash, otherwise, you can't see them writhe the lashes.

I don't know if it's been suggested already or not... nor did I even know of the existence of this thread until today, was going to make a new post but this place seems appropriate.

clothinglist! We have a lot of commands to check the status of our pipes, potions, enchants and so on that give us the abiliy to see charges and decay times and so on... but I find a lot of my clothing decaying on me. A command probably in discernment with the rest of them that shows all the clothing you wear with decay times.

I coded my own system to do it in zmud, but it's clunky, slow, and spams commands to the server more often than I'd like. (I already have my spammy tailoring script, I don't need another one...) One simple command to do this would be great!
Shorlen2006-09-14 12:29:58
Oooh, on that note, SPORELIST! My word, I'd love to have the ability sporelist in Nature or Discernment...
Shiri2006-09-14 12:36:52
Make it Wicca. dry.gif
Unknown2006-09-14 12:38:20
At this rate, we'll need a LISTLIST to list all our lists...

But they'll be nice.

Doesn't it make more sense in nature?

Keep the ideas coming!!!

Great idea!

I just had this silly thought of a new skill in tailoring, call it "fashionista", where the tailor can adjust the clothing on a person so they look better, increasing their influence skill which lasts an hour or so (You have been dressed by a fashionista!).

(Ok, been watching Queer Eye and What Not to Wear too much......)

I like that idea Estarra! (You stole it from rainbowmancy --> Fashion Police)


*cough*


But as far as utility upgrades and stuff is it possible to have one for a shop? SHOPSTATUS could show who bought things from your shop and what they bought perhaps?

Also an ability that shows you the exact health of a mob in numerical value?
