be honest this is a hobby of sorts and i doubt if will ever happen, well at least no time soon so here is one of my ideas to put in a mud. This idea can be a kinda of shapeshifter. Lets say as an example (i won't tell you what i was using it for, but) you have fido and when someone attacks fido fido of course will attack back. when fido reaches a certain HP say like when he would normally flee or maybe tenpercent of his health (Fido's health for clarification) fido, the shapeshifter, would loose his consentration and be forsced to change to something else which just happens to be a little (alot) stronger and a little (alot) more deadlier... Oh not for newbies ;) this could be used for traps or other ROLE playing type situations. For example, you have a frail old man who has a magical item that will alow entrance into a secret vault of lost treaseures and magic. The player thinks, "This is too easy." then after the shapeshifter looses his concentration (lets say its a spell and the spell is broken) the old man turns into something like a magical creature (dragon, stonegolem, giant, gryphon, pheonix, ect...) This would make for a very intersting place and atmoshphere especially if you have similar tricks for the players to stumple/find. Maybe later i will let you all know some other of my ideas :) Christopher M. Ryan drizzt@visi.net http://www.visi.net/~drizzt/index.html P.S. Please don't ask how i was going to impliment this! That is up to you to figure out for yourself. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
