Why not give Slayer's an offhand stake weapon style, which would have chances for instant death of vampires and such? Just an idea.

Thus, I was not saying that you cannot summon to an arena, I was saying that you cannot summon to recall in Aeth because it's really close to the arena. Got literacy?

I do as well, though if arena is going to be considered a PK/dangerous area then people aren't going to be able to summon to… say, the recall in Aeth. Aside from that, it sounds great.

~~@Inimical:~~ > I think most of us know why you oppose this idea. Indeed…

I like that idea, but that means people would have to go to auction houses to check what items were for auction unless it was announced globally for how long and what item was being put up for auction, which would be nice. It would also need to have a minimum time.

Instead of the conventional style of auction, I thought up a type where we could have multiple items up for auction at a time. Say... 5 items up for auction at a time. What about all the spam? Well, when an item is first put up for auction it is announced on the auction channel to everyone, but none of the bids will be announced unless the player has "watched" that specific auction. Each of the 5 slots could be assigned a number, and players could "auc watch 3" for example to get all the bid information on that item. On top of this, there could be an auction queue of... say, 10 - 15 items, which would be assigned the next available current auction slot. All the auction commands would remain the same, except a number would have to be attached to the end. Also, if the person is watching only one of the auctions up at a specific time, they should be able to omit the auction number at the end of a command as it should be assumed they are trying to interact with the auction they are watching. Anyway, theres my idea. Have fun with it.

~~@Elmah:~~ > Someone mentioned that Drow/Shade needed something. I'm putting this in as a suggestion for Drow and Wraith, the remort of Lich. Immunity to blindness. Why? Wraiths don't have much of eyes for one thing. Drow are accustomed to seeing in the dark. Drow see in the dark with infravision. This would be more of a question as to whether blindness completely disables eyes, or disables eyes from picking up conventional light. If it only stops conventional light, then people could just cast infravision on themselves to get around that. Wouldn't work for drow, in my opinion.

I got my license when I was around 16… But then I managed to slide the front end of my parent's car into a curb and cause over $1000 worth of damage to the front end & suspension, because I'm an idiot. Ask Belexus, he was there. ;)

First of all I think that was a pretty good suggestion considering the information I have at my disposal, and experience in the world. I don't know that much about the world of Sentience yet, and all I did was read what you all stated were problems and tried to come to a logical conclusion. As I've said, it was simply an idea. Apparently logging out and using alts to spy, etc, is a huge PK problem which is also quite hard to punish people for (Well, to catch people anyway). If it's not a good idea, then don't implement it. It's that simple.

How about making it so people can only quit from safe rooms and/or recall rooms? That way you can't log in at a spot when someone manages to wander their way into CPK. What about severing your link? Well, you make it so that when someone goes link dead, if they are link dead long enough make it so when they log back in they log in at the recall room of the area. It could even be explained, as if some dude wanders around in the wilds and takes you to his shack because he found you passed out on the floor ;) I dunno, just ideas.

I think the damage of stake should have a linear relationship with the level of the slayer. IE, if you're a level 120 slayer or a remort slayer I'm pretty sure you know damn well where a vampire's heart is, so chances are you're gonna take it out. (On sleeping vampires) On awake vampires, it would be extreamly hard to accomplish but if it hits and you're a high level slayer chances are it should have hit them in the heart. Just think about level as experience, which it is, and if you're as experienced as you can get you can pull this stuff off. Then again, the vampires level should be a significant factor as well because they tend to avoid getting staked in the heart, and have more experience doing so the higher level they are (theoretically).

~~@Elmah:~~ > Okay, so back on-topic… Umm... How bout them vamps? I've heard they drink blood…

I agree, but looking and scanning should have checks because those would usually involve movement to see the entire room. That, or have a chance for missing something or someone.

If it was fixed, and working appropriately (by which I mean balanced) it wouldn't be that bad.

For both Seraph and Spectre how about a racial charm? They are supposed to be the most beautiful creatures in existance, you know…

These are general descriptions, yeah? So variation is acceptable. If it were each persons individual one, I'd say have them write their own, but in this case you could say that skin color is either bone white or midnight black. Etc. As long as you make it clear that the skin doesn't look quite healthy, as opposed to the perfect flawless healthy Seraph skin it should be relatively simple.

~~@Xavis:~~ > Why not black skin, white hair, white wings with black splotches or streaks in them. Like if the pureness of the wings are tainted with Drow evil :P That's what I said a few posts ago, the patterns on the wings. I think that would be pretty nifty, but I think the whole point is that once you get to spector you're pretty much at the pinnacle of your corruption and taint ;)

Thought it was assassin only, but even if it's not it still sucks ;)

~~@Jazelle:~~ > Just make them all black with white hair and we will all be happy. Agreed.

This is pretty much just a suggestion for assassins only, as per the title. Hide is rather useless, and because assassins are supposed to be all uber stealthy I thought up a use for it related to sneak. How about if an assassin sneaks, then hides (or vice versa), and then moves into another room the hide doesn't wear off, so it's sorta like an invis? It could roll a check vs. hide and sneak or something, but that would make hide a bit more useful than it currently is. Yeah, there you go. Whatever you all think.
