Title: looted in PK things
Post by: ukka on January 26, 2006, 04:13:29 pm
Grabbing wildly at fallen enemy's possessions is certainly bad RP for a knight, but I doubt it is a perfect RP for kender as well. "Peeling the clothes off the bloodstained body and prying rings off the mangled fingers" - sounds very kender-ish!

Got an idea - let's mark looted things with flag.. em... (BLOODY).. Though I do not know what's the use of it.. probably for roleplaying matters %) I just imagine a kender wearing all BLOODY equipment %) Nice, eh?
Flag must disappear after some time, surely..
Raw idea, but what da hell?

i see - it will add RP to looting... now ppl all wish to be so white fluffy and clean.

if you loot - take blood!!!

looting solamnia should be fixed, heretics as well.

bloody things will be unusable by heretics... and unremovable by purge...

just some thoughts to raw idea...

While the idea is quite good, I personally don't see much difference between mobs and players in that matter.
Why is it okay to loot a bloody mangled corpse of a dwarven trader, but it is bad to loot say.. dwarven fighter?

  Pplz will have just to repop eq. That's all. Evenmore, if it is prohibited to repop mob who owns item personally (due to align for example or whatever), they will use ooc for this purpose.
  C'mon. Looting is absolutly ooc (as well as eq and its stats are!), so don't mess it with rp at all. Let everyone loot in the way he/she want. All those whines about looting have got to be really weird and *annoing*, stop it!

Can any class equip himself with non-limited things to gain a good degree of protection against magic/ good damroll/ good hp and any type of weapon?


I think the answer is yes. It won't be elite equipment but it is enough to survive_and_fight. Making looting illegal or restricted is cheap. I know for a 101% fact Chemosh is against restricting looting.

Non-limited items provide ONLY good saves or good damage/hit rolls.
You won't be able to achieve both ends of that stick (Russian idiom).

However, you can get some crappy limited stuff easily, which will protect you pretty good against magic and grant nice hit and damage rolls.

Looting is obviously nice part of roleplay, though it needs some fixing - yeah, nice idea to mark items bloody.
What if mark role-breaking with looting players with some bad title, like Marouder(for some time, indeed)? And making all traders aggressive to them (- Your equipment is covered in blood of innocent! I won't trade with you ever!)

Aye, and perhaps making people travel all the way to say, Nethosak black market to trade such items for little money.

heretics loot only to sacrifice anyway... because they wish their enemies weak....
