Additional descriptors
« on: November 08, 2007, 10:45:00 am »
Right now every object either menaces with spikes or hangs with rings of whatever.  It seems like this should be in a raw somewhere, but it's not. Although the pref string in the plant gloss is starting to look like it, I don't think it is being used that way yet.  Presumably, Toady will add more descriptors as time goes on, but I thought we should help him out by giving him some suggestions to get the juices flowing.

Format:
[Active description] with [shape] of ([materials it can apply to])

Such as:
Menaces with Spikes of (Wood, stone, metal, bone) - (Right now it also menaces with spikes cloth but that doesn't make sense)
Hangs with Rings of (All materials)

Mine:
Ripples with Banners of (cloth, leather)
Glares with the dead eyes of (skulls)

I realize this topic could go in Suggestions. Meh, oh well.

You wouldn't fit it ON an earring, it would be hanging from it. I really like the idea though...  I'd imagine the sheer weight of those earrings would train strength like mad...  not to mention the possibility of whacking your opponent with them... :P

I'm sure when Toady gets to this he will make it superb and also more intelligently selected.
