Sanga Report post Posted June 7, 2007 Suggestion for a new item: Item Name: Flash Bomb Skill: Engineering Level to make: ?? (Relatively high) Ingredients: 1 enriched fire essence 2 quartz 5 mercury (Note: The last should *really* be magnesium, but that's not in the game, so I subbed in mercury) Effect: When used in combat, 70% chance of temporarily "blinding" other characters/creatures. "Blinding" effect = 3 turns paralysis + 3 turns -10 defense. 5% chance of a "backfire", causing the same effects upon the character using the device. Note: I *do* mean for this to potentially affect your own allies and summonses! A person throwing such a device would know to shield his/her eyes, but wouldn't be able to warn allies for fear of alerting the enemy. And animals/monsters wouldn't understand such a warning anyway. The "backfire" would be a result of an erratic timer in the device, causing it to active a little sooner than expected. And it would be quite possible for both the user AND the target to get hit by the effect! The combat effects are reasonable - having a bright light flash in your eyes would render you incapable of attacking, and make defending yourself very difficult. Such a device would, among other things, provide an effective counter for Pkers who use the "summon lotsa tigers 'n' bears" strategy. I specified the EFE to keep such devices rare and moderately expensive (5K or so, I'd guess). That way they wouldn't become a standard use item, but rather something to save for the right circumstances. Implementation would involve a modification of the existing "spider paralysis" effect, with the addition of the temporary defense decrease. Client side would need some sort of eye candy, but some of the harvesting events graphics aren't too far off. Comments, anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garnoo Report post Posted June 10, 2007 I'd say for the effect an efe would be a bit too much how about:1 serp stone, 10 quartz and 30 mercury.And i think this would be a too big advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
