Mechanical Changes:
- Silver Drop on Death: When reaching -10, PCs will drop all held silver upon death. To offset this, characters can bank their silver via the persistent storage option. [To be made available in Beta soon].
- Players should aim to carry what they need and leverage persistent storage to protect their silver.
- Admin Addendum:
- This is intended to provide a sense of impact from a Rolelay perspective that is more significant than just charging into a dungeon with only a minor XP and SP loss upon Respawn. (Carrying 10,000sp on a person is an odd decision).
- Similar to Executions, if this is leveraged to create toxic player encounters, we will assess each case individually, and adjust the system to ensure that the aim remains on storytelling as opposed to ganking or OOC attacks/harassment.
- Sleight of Hand (Pick Pocket): https://www.dragonsneck.com/wiki/Skill-Changes
- Possible silver amount to steal: 3d20.
- Will not work on targets with less than 50 silver, or those that are not humanoid/civilized (no orcs/goblins/etc).
- User can only use Sleight of Hand once per real-life hour.
- Targets can only be pick-pocketed once a day, or once per reset. Whichever comes first.
- In other words, a player can only be the target of a pickpocket once per day/reset. So if player A pickpockets player B, player C cannot pickpocket player B a few hours later. Player B would be immune for either 24 hours or until the next reset.
- NPCs can be stolen from, however will turn hostile and attack if the Pickpocket fails.
- If the User fails against a PC, a small VFX will play for the target on the location of the pickpocket, and they will be notified of the attempt.
- If the User succeeds against the target, the PC will take the gold from the target. A notification will be sent to the target after 4d6 Rounds to let them know some coin was stolen.
- Taunt & Intimidate Reworked: https://www.dragonsneck.com/wiki/Skill-Changes
- Taunt:
- Taunt has been reworked completely from base-game mechanics. Taunt will no longer fire an animation, or impact the target's AC. Taunt will now function as a single-target threat boost. This is intended to allow tanks (and others), and opportunity to peel enemies away from vulnerable party members. [For now, this has no effect in PvP aside from manual roles between players.]
- Threat calculation: d20 + Taunt Skill rank (non-base).
- Cooldown: 120 seconds.
- Intimidate:
- Intimidate has been reworked mechanically to impact threat generation via Melee attacks. When dealing damage with melee attacks: For every 5 levels of Intimidate (non-base) that the PC has, they will generate equivalent threat to one other hostile target near them. This additional threat generation is determined with every attack. [This will help characters generate AoE threat via melee strikes].
- e.g. 10 Intimidate = 2 additional (3 total) targets will receive the threat of the single melee attack.
- A future iteration of this skill will likely make this a toggleable effect for the user.
- Taunt:
[Calliope]
