Well, I understand that from a programming perspective having an item either be weaponry or armor is nice and easy, but what about items that do both?
I would like to suggest a few. in this format
name
RESISTANCES
blunt, slicing, piercing, fire, cold, sonic
DAMAGE
blunt, slicing, piercing, fire, cold, sonic
EQUIPPABLE
head, hands, legs, etc...
WEIGHT
W
RANGE
X
SPEED
Y
SPECIAL
does it do anything else?
the spiked buckler
RESISTANCES
15,15,15,10,10,10
DAMAGE
0,0,2,0,0,0
EQUIPPABLE
hands
WEIGHT
40
RANGE
n/a
SPEED
n/a
SPECIAL
n/a
braided steel noose
RESISTANCES
n/a
DAMAGE
5,0,0,0,0,0
EQUIPPABLE
hands
WEIGHT
35
RANGE
60
SPEED
10
SPECIAL
upon successful hit, if defender has a lower (strength*level) reduce distance by 10ft unless distance <= 10ft.
shoulderpad of might
RESISTANCES
5,5,0,0,0,3
DAMAGE

EQUIPPABLE
arms

Well, that's all the equip ideas for now.
Throw in any of yours here with the same format :)

What about some items that boost luck? Lucky Rings or bangles like in Kingdom Hearts or something of the sort?
Maybe they would be monster drops and you would have to be extraordinarily lucky to even get one? Say, you have a 1 in 100 chance of getting one.
And it would be a higher level creature that drops it, like the Runic Bonewalker or something of the like.
Once you have one, the ring increases rare drops such as the dragon scales, smoked cheese and the like by 10%. I suppose the benefits of the ring would stack, but the ring would have no effect on your chances of getting another ring. |

10%, so a 5% drop would become 5.5%?, or do you mean the much more powerful and more broken 10 point boost, so 5% becomes 15%?
One of the things I'd like to see is a pure elemental moderately fast and powerful 2-3 slot chest-mounted ranged weapon with a relatively low energy cost. This would entice ranged clans to use lesser powersources that are in danger of being stolen, but still use fairly large golems. Pure elemental means a lack of a minimum damage, which means it'd be useless against a properly armoured golem or dragon, and allows it to be faster without being unbalanced.
Now that I've given my ideas, I'll try to put some numbers to them, the ideas are so that the purpose of the weapon isn't lost in the inevitable tweaking for balance and such.
Name: <Insert Name>
Damage: 25 Fire, 15 sonic
Range: 60 ft
Library Level: 14
Speed: 15
Cost: <primes appropriate for the name> 20,000 Copper, 7,500 Brass, 15,000 Gems
Ammunition: <something new> |

I considered making it higher, but I thought that might be pretty high if the monster was say, level 16
And Sconi, I thought it would be about 15%. Maybe it could be a little lower in chance or raise the chances of getting one, but either way...Last Edited: Nov 13, 2009, 6:47 am |

Sounds like an Improved version of our Flametongue, I might be wrong but I think all attacks have a minimum damage and this would no doubt end up being an area effect weapon so actual quite nasty :)
hmmm We haven't had any Item's that do damage for a good while. -- MS steals idea and runs to hide it behind the fridge --

Not really- I can average about 30-35 hits a night against the Ice Princess. And that's without eating any of the pork and ice cream I'd be finding. Plus, if my chances of getting those foods went up by 10% after I found my first ring... well, I'd never have to stop.
I'd suggest maybe a 2% increase to finding (added, not multiplied) and non-stackable.

I think a stackable multiplicative bonus would be more blanced than a nonstackable additive one. It would allow things designated as rare to remain rare, so if Kep decided he wanted something that dropped .1% of the time, it wouldn't suddenly become 2.1%, increasing the drop rate by 2000%. This would also allow the number on the item to be higher, however, I'd recommend 20-25%.
The dragons' breaths can be minned (except for Akhen and Marsh) which implies that there is no minimum for pure elemental weapons (well, there is, it's 1, but it's not strength based). If it's an area effect weapon, it's not really any nastier, it'd just save some weight on a Crystal Focus, but since it wouldn't be able to use a Steam Engine anyway, that might not matter so much.
As far as items go... I've got no sympathy, you guys can increase power insanely, increase accuracy far more than anyone else, and negate just about every penalty known to man, plus your demon bags are capable of knocking items out of a chest, so I'ma just stick my tongue out at you and fart in your general direction. |

Combat Padding
RESISTANCES:
2,0,1, 0,1,0
EQUIPPABLE:
All
WEIGHT
5
SPECIAL: Reduces Damage by one after all other modifiers.
Reinforced Padding:
RESISTANCES:
3,1,1, 0,1,1
EQUIPPABLE:

WEIGHT
5
SPECIAL: Reduces Damage by one after all other modifiers.
So this Armor is The reverse of strength bonuses. even giving chance to reduce damage to Zero. The most damage reduction possible is 6 on the chest and abdomen. but the padding it's self offers little protection so most parts would have around 1 or 2.

awesome idea for the non-unique dragons, but I'd reduce the resists to 4 in each of the elements just to make it less swingy.

how about
Sword Of The Fallen
damage:
0,10,6,0,0,0
Weight:
10
range:
10
Speed:
20
maybe when the hand that the sword is in is destroyed or the arm after the fight you get a report about a weird glow coming from your storage. and the sword is there. maybe weaker in someway IE: shorted range, heavier,
slower speed in correlation to heavier sword.
but the more player's golems you completely destroy with the sword the stronger it gets. maybe 20K kills you can trade the sword in to someone for a far more powerful version. |

Brass Banding
