Elemental weapons depend on skills? Why not other things?

[ReBoot]

I talk about the light ring (Flewyn's Light).
I read that elemental weapon's damage depend on the user's apropriate casting skill. Good idea, I raise my thumb.
However this ring depends on nothing. Suggestion: make it's light depend on the user's divination skill.

That would make it alot more useful, I approve.

Currently, my own ring glow radius is even lower than the glow radius of the lord...

 

[evilsquirrel]

hey, theres a good idea

but make it much rarer, and strip the current ones...and...make it like, crazy powerful... going to glow SC 15 at level 20 divination, and at 30 you gain dark vision 8) (see the NS plugin for NVG's, but modify color to purpleish-black and white, enough to see things clearly) it should also be dependant on time of day and...if you're under a skybox...like the vampire deally

IE:

If you're outside in the day time! Nothing.
If you're outside in the evening or morning, glow.
If you're outside at night, glow and darkvision.
If you're inside in the day, glow.
If you're inside in the evening or morning, glow.
If you're inside in the night, glow and darkvision.

(have the darkvision activate slightly after dark, so that giant lagspike dun cause crashy crashy, too)

actually would be easier to just make pplz glow in the daytime outside

Won't that be a little too much? All I asked for was a consistency between other magic items and this one.

 

[evilsquirrel]

umm...i guess...

maybe a good idea for a new item, though?

I've no idea how to apply darkvision.

I'd have to make it a hella' lot rarer if it worked better than Glow, plus it would defeat the ring's purpose.

After the Glow spell changes, I set the ring aside with the intention that it could be sought after by nubs who didn't have Glow at high enough level to make it effective.

Granted, I think you'd need several nubs to grab it easily. Gang-banging the Lord of the Land is a pain. The only other places the ring appears are dangerous or extremely rare, so a change of placement maybe a thought.

But if you're carrying the ring because it works better than your glow, then it's doing its job.

 

[evilsquirrel]

darkvision would be similar to the NVG's on natural selection...if i find the plugin i can send it to you - should be riggable through AMX, if not the scripts.

 

[Thothie]

I'd also need the source of whatever moduel they were using. Backwards-engineering AMX effects is really hard - or I woulda fixed our solar-powered torches by now.

 

[evilsquirrel]

i'll be on the lookout!

 

[ReBoot]

I don't carry the ring because it's better. It's times worse. I carry it because of it's impression.

I think the ring is just fine, athough a bit hard to get for the noobs who would need it...
