Cabals

Why not...

Get rid of cabal items

Put the "soul" of every active cabal member in the inner sanctum of their cabal grounds. You could see them all when you walk in, but only the souls of cabal members who are currently in the realms at the time would be movable objects. An invader would kill the guardian, enter the sanctum, and steal the "soul" of his target, at which point that players cabal powers would cease to function. If the soul is dropped, it immediately would return to the cabal grounds, and holding a cabal members soul would allow him or any member of his cabal to attack you, regardless of rank. "Capturing" a soul would return it to the cabal grounds, but the cabal powers of the player whos soul was just captured would be nullified for a hex or so worth of time (maybe longer). Just a thought, flame on! I'm kinda baked

I like many aspects of that.

Also baked.

I haven't ever done cabal PK so im just wondering what the purpose of the change would be. Why change anything?

[Ergorion]

Pretty much, this seems like you're taking one cabal item and making it multiple items that are only around for very brief periods of time.


I was going to start a similar thread about the cabal items/guardians. I'll post what I was going to post there here. I hope you don't mind pops.

I don't think this is a good idea for the current AR. I do think changing cabals back (code/rules) a couple steps would make things better. I know it nerfed the, I'm going to go solo your cabal and get your item in 5 minutes play, but where for example 2 Knights could once capture a legion item and force the legion that relies on surprise or stealth, or just overpowering their enemy to come out of their element and possibly die ...they now just get owned. Things have gotten too strict I think, people like a little cheese every now and then. Also, since I'm slightly on topic, Mystics, Heralds and whoever else shouldn't be bound by the Keeper laws. That should be something they Roleplay and come to common ground on. No High Herald or Mystic leaders should want their members getting slaughtered if there is an amicable solution - and if they don't find one, that coterie imm should think twice about their leader. Granted relations between coteries and possibly cabals can only be done when there are leaders to interact. Also, lets bring back the hired help mercenaries w/e, just no healers - and tweek it a little so it only works if it is 1v3 or worse odds.

im always baked

ya I tried to set up a peace agreement between the Heralds, Mystics, and Knights recently because of the fact that Heralds and Mystics both induct evil characters. Heralds and Mystics are basically peaceful and never really go out looking to murder anyone. I think the immortals see that if there was a peace, then there wouldn't be any risk as a Herald or Mystic since we could all then buy protection and then we would only have to worry about non-cabal players. I agree with the fact that Heralds and Mystics should not be forced to conform to the Keepers rules, however this is probably a bias opinion. Think of it this way. Do you really want powerful items to be held by people that don't PK? A Herald can really hold onto a powerful item for a long time if they play their cards right and RP to favor the right people.

Well cap the item if you want, I'm just saying if my objective was to kick your ass, I'd probably do it, and then work on the item while you are a ghost. I have found capping to be a negative thing for myself, it makes me feel guilty their low levels can't exp and their high levels just dont want to come to retrieve vs high risk situations. But each to their own.
