The idea has occured to me, but I've usually run into an issue (such as having to relocate, or the outright death of the server with the MUD erasure ensuing) before I could put such an idea into practice. Theoretically, it wouldn't be that challenging, it'd just be time-consuming since you would have to either come up with a way for characters to gain hitpoints outside of leveling, or you would have to rebalance the whole MUD around characters only having the base amount of hitpoints. Anyway I still think it's a cool idea and I'd love to see someone implement it. > And one other question, do skills in stock circle increasese % with use, or > only practices? As far as I know, only with practices. However, I dislike the concept of pratices so much that I've been working on doing away with the level system completely and having everything be use-based improvement. Anyway, hope that helps a little... -Praetor -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
