If you want to make it a really mean effect we could create an NPC (Maybe some sort of doctor/Healer type person) who you have to pay to remove the acidic burns... We could even put him/her in a remote location that could be a pain to get to. :twisted:

I like the idea of stacking a negative effect to DR... It's like the acid is making getting hit worse and worse as the burns spreads. =)

:lol: i traded my meds for some magic beans at the farmer's market.. The voices in my head told me that trade was a great deal.

OOOOH another fairly evil idea brought to you from your friendly neighborhood Firebug:

Have the status effect be removable by an NPC and have the effect lower your Max HP by 1 every XX turns (upon removal of the status effect your HP will go back to normal).

Either get healed or die a slow and painful death. :Twisted:

Save -> acid burn -> load -> problem solved.

Possibly: herbs the healer would need you to get for the potion/ointment: Winterbloom, Sallow Thorn and Comfrey root.

I think there must be an incentive for the player to choose the healer over the save/load option. Can't think of anything specific and plausible right now.

Yes that is always a concern when making new status effects...

One way to fix this would be to make it so upon reloading the Rare NPC would not reappear...
(Upon loading a savefile the Unicorn's location would be recalculated)

The chances of finding one of these NPCs would be very very small so reloading could backfire.

yes.. my friend... those ideas for making this conditition even more lethal are familiar for me :twisted: ...

Please do not take more of those "magic beans" i already see that those are not suitable for you.

Please remember that you are one of the good ones and your job is balancing the ideas and the most important thing... keep evil ones like me under the controll... :-)

I fear that one of the our mods have eat too many mushroom... Please if you have any idea how we can rescue him.. do something about it

:lol: omg Sarumar you are cracking me up today. Do not worry mighty Sarumar, I will always be here to help keep you in check. ;)

I'm really liking the idea of an NPC that gives you a status effect that lowers your Max HP slowly until you either get the status removed by a NPC or die.

And the easy fix against Save / loading: NPCs location being recalculated when a savefile is loaded.

...Why am i trying to kill everyone today? lol You wanted a challenge right? :lol:

yess... finally you can feel it, my young pupil... If you want to learn more, i can tell you some of secrets about the forbidden and dark wishes about of the future of AT. You are strong enough (i hope), to learn more (or you might lose your sanity or at least rest of it)..

I thought about some kind of "golden man", from which you could buy tremendous items at tremendous prices, like items almost worth the Leg/Ext, but 100,000 gold each.

We could name him... welµ... Oskar :D
