|
|
An idea popped in my head a few nights ago as my paladin got his ass handed to him by a dark knight...buying skills outside of our skill trees.
Here's how it would work. Once you reach a certain rank, you'd be able to buy ONE skill/spell from the guild-guardian of a guild other than your own. You could only do this ONCE in your character's lifetime.
Not all skills/spells would be available for purchase. Guilds won't sell their trade secrets, so like the Invoker guild won't sell Hellstream and Paladins won't sell Errantry.
The skills/spells for sale would be carefully picked and approved by Dav to ensure that game balance wasn't being fucked with. I'm thinking things like crfo, crwa, iden, loca, hide, detect hidden...skills/spells that multiple classes learn at relatively low levels.
And, not all buyable skills/spells would be available to all classes. What a ranger could buy from the necro guild might be different than what a dk could buy from necros.
You would never be able to master a skills/spell you bought. Maybe it would max out at the Learned 75% spot. You could lose your bought skill/spell for doing certain 'bad' things, like you do for going against your alignment or attacking your own guild guardian.
The price would be steep...somewhere along the lines of what you pay to change your hometown. Or maybe even higher?
Flame away. It's just an idea. |

That sounds like an awesome idea.

Ok ya detect hidden is a bad example. But you get my drift. |

but hey if it's not balanced for anyone doesn't that really mean it IS balanced for everyone at the same time?
Sounds like a fun idea. |

So for the price of 1 million slabs of beef.. you get to buy create food. That's.. great.
Locate object gives warriors a reason to talk to mages instead of just pwning them. |

Warriors with Weapon Ward
Berserkers with Detect Invis
Illusionist with Ecstasy
[Justice] with Detect Hidden
[Legion] with Assassinate
[Knight] with Errantry
