Title: Pacifist Idea
Post by Chrono on 08/21/03 at 06:06:38
I propose that Pacifists should be able to equip staffs/staves (Don't know how that should be spelled).  They still couldn't attack, but I would think a cleric or healer might walk around with a staff to help him move around. Not necessarily to attack with.  Plus it would just add a little more fun to the game in my opinion.

Feel free to post your opinions.

If they do people will raise the question why isn't my pacifist attacking with his staff or if they have a staff to defend themselves then why wouldn't they use it?

I agree with Stotic, there's no point of having something.. especially a weapon.. when it's not going to be put into good use.. meaning.. pointless.

Make him happy and make Paci's a 'Walking Stick' Maybe that'll make him feel better? His crit can sound like an ol' man..

Exactly...

It doesnt have to DO anything... the roleplaying value is still there...

Intelligence doesn't do anything for most classes, but people still prefer it to be higher for 'aesthetic' purposes, kinda the same with char, but it has a little use.  :)

But this means staff have to put time in making one, and they 'should' have better things to do.

Later in the game weapons may come out that add to stats.. and even tho a pacifist cant attack with it, it would be cool if he/she could equip it to benifit from these mods.

It may be totally useless to have a paci have a weapon, But Archie has a point in weapons getting + to stats and would be help to a paci. Would be cool at anyrate.

I thought a walking stick or maybe a cane would be a good addition, then as put above maybe a drop of a cane/stick that could add either wisdom or charisma to the paci.

I always thought that would be cool for like mages,clerics,druids,or even pacifists.Staves(or walking sticks) that give +to wisdom,char,or int.

Well if your gonna make a Weapon for a non Atking Pac why not make some body armor for a zerker  :P makes sence huh?

Because the weapon does nothing...

So the 'non-attacking paci' Will still be a 'non-attacking paci'

But if you really wanted some 0 ac armor for your zerkers naked ass thats cool. lol

I think a wand sounds like a good idea for any spell casting race espcialy for low lvl's the more powerfull the magic the less the wand is needed sounds about right

I think they should be able to equip weapons, but not be able to attack with them.

Hmm... originally I was going to make it so they could equip some items but not use them for RP purposes, but in the end I thought I'd just keep it no-weapons.
