| >I like the idea of adding more effects, but be careful to avoid things that would be annoying or abusable; I'd stay away from effects like magic contamination (which would have players waiting for it to go away, even one point is significant), dropping items from the player's inventory, or summoning monsters. --- //[[user:minmay]] 2011-02-02 00:45// | >I like the idea of adding more effects, but be careful to avoid things that would be annoying or abusable; I'd stay away from effects like magic contamination (which would have players waiting for it to go away, even one point is significant), dropping items from the player's inventory, or summoning monsters. --- //[[user:minmay]] 2011-02-02 00:45// | ||
| - | > All of these except magic contamination, turning into "minor" but expendable items, item dropping and repulsion sound both funny and fun, and all-around entertaining. Some are even potentially "absolutely-nothing-better-to-do-with-my-turn" level useful like the small chance of butterfly or chance of reforming (when doing it to train spellcasting) now; I'd see a Fedhas worshipper crossing his fingers and trying every one. --- //[[user:Brickman]] 2011-02-02 07:26// | + | > All of these except magic contamination, turning into "minor" but expendable items, item dropping and repulsion sound both funny and fun, and all-around entertaining.

| - | >> None of these effects are half as useful as butterflies, and we let it do that. So what if it is marginally advantageous to burn through the entire stack on the off chance that something minorly good happens? It already is, if anything this'd dilute the one effect that's most potentially "useful" with a lot of effects that really are trivial. A dozen scrolls of uselessness is currently and will still be less of a find than a single scroll of remove curse or enchant weapon 1. --- //[[user:Brickman]] 2011-02-02 14:13// | + | >> None of these effects are half as useful as butterflies, and we let it do that.
