Bonemeal Potions side effect

Post by Fire7051 »

Okay let's face it we all use them, we all love them, and that means we are all cannibals. Bonemeal is aquired from the bones of the undead. (while you can get bones from other places I am pretty sure most of us retrieved them from skeletons.)

SO I have seen on a couple of topics about how there should be some side effects to certain potions and I thought what if Bone meal potions started to turn the character into a zombie. Rotting flesh ala Flagstone Prison?

I figured it would look like this:

Actor Condition:
Zombiefication
-2 AP
+3 to corpse eater
-2 DR
Cancels all regeneration

This could have a small percentage to activate or could activate after a certain amount of potions have been used. Let's say 500 Bonemeal = Zombiefication. This could lead to a quest from the shadow priests to search out items to cure the zombiefication much like the rotworm quest. The cool thing is that while you are zombiefied no NPC's should interact with you other than the shadow priest that will cure you. As a bonus though undead creatures will not attack you.

Just an idea. Let me know what you think.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
Give a man a fire and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

I think you're taking this cannibalism/zombie thing a bit too seriously... All we want to do is drink your bones. We're not unreasonable. I mean, no one's going to eat your eyes.

You should just chill out and listen to some nice music instead.

Actually it's a pretty neat idea. I feel a little guilty about consuming my countrymen also.

Off topic: that song is amazing, when i saw The Presidents of the United States of America (a band not Obama), he opened for them and played that song. It gets stuck in my head for days on end.

Back on topic:

There has been some suggestions simular to this, i like the concept.

One of my fav suggestions: There was talks about a "shady vendor" who sells BMPs at a lower price but they have a small chance of causeing some pretty big problems.
