So they wanted her dead, or at least gone, but they couldn't kill her. Hm...
You can't steal prototypes from other players. And probably never will, because that would be horrible to balance.What's to balance?
Research and development, considering the difference in performance between a prototype and a production unit. (Scrapping is being used as a term for mothballing or relegating the unit for research purposes, which may sometimes involves dismantling the unit.)On the other hand, you already know everything about it.
((I will give you this little tid-bit of information. There are many reasons the Drow magic users took Arins weapons. There are three main reasons, though. The first being practical. She cannot harm them easily without her weapons, and they expected to be far away from her by the time she woke up. As you saw with the bear incident, she cannot protect herself easily against the thousands of possible ways to die in the wilderness in this world and the alst reason is it is a great dishonour for a Calithari Huntress to lose her weapons to her enemy. If it turns out she lost her weapons in a particularly pathetic way, she would be exiled.So they wanted her dead, or at least gone, but they couldn't kill her. Hm...
((Even if it also binds the soul to the corpse, all that means it's a practical (And economical!) means of capital punishment if you animate the corpse (Can't see a way of making a ghost artificially, and having it actually be servile at the same time. Thus, they'd generally appear in ancestor-worship areas rather then conventional necromancy.What if necromancy requires a bargain with some other power? That makes sense. The King of the Underworld isn't going to let his serfs out for free, you know.
((Armour takes more effort to remove((Not that much more, if you've got a couple people. And it's well worth the effort. Even a cheap suit of armor would have been worth several years' wages, and I don't think we're wearing low-quality pig iron here.))))
Reverse-engineering stuff?And hey, if I'm suggesting things for it: The ability to scrap prototypes for research points.Why would you get research points from prototypes?
Ugh, stupid mob. That was a nasty 1, GWG. Are you trying to hospitalize me!?No. And neither is the mob, although they might do that on accident.
It does both really. You go full sonic.Neat and Oh, I must have been thinking of some of the spin-offs.
Also, I don't think we have an agility stat. Speed is basically that.
A potency boosting word would be like in Elder scrolls how you could brew potions of "Enhance skill" and enhance alchemy, which let you brew a better potion, which let you enhance it further, when let you brew better, etc etc to the point where you could make potions of agility that let you jump so high you exited the sky box or of a weapon skill that caused the game to crash whenever you hit something.Well, duh.
In other words, hilarious, but broken as hell.
and enhancing pool doesn't?More Pool doesn't let you cast stronger spells, only more of them. I'm guessing multiple bonuses don't stack.
((For Stephen, maybe.))((What exactly is the taxi in this metaphor? Inventing things? Honestly that seems safer for a perceived "insane" person then going out into combat heavily armed and with people relying on them to surviveSo yeah, HAWKING isn't insane, he's handicapped. And you wouldn't discriminate against someone because of a handicap would you?((If the "discrimination" is keeping the blind man from driving a taxi, yes.))))
((But he hasn't really hurt anyone so far, which is more then ANY OTHER PERSON ON SHIP can say for themselves((Amazingly, I can't think of a counter-example. Well, an explosives-laden clock can fail to explode twice a day.))))
