Mental Weight - Combat instructions

Postby DeadlyPencil » Thu Feb 02, 2017 4:58 pm

I was honestly surprised that combat instructions didn't take any mental weight when I used them. and I think they should.

Couple of suggestions:

  • if 1 copy of Opportunity knocks takes 10 weight, then studying 5 copies of it should cost 50 for example.
  • If Opportunity Knocks is only given by stronger animals, then it should take more mental weight then lets say Punch.
  • If Studying 2x copy of Opportunity knocks takes 12 hours, then studying 4x should take 24.

Reasoning:

I do not like the idea of a combat alt being able to study up 5 copies of all of the best skills needed for combat. I think they should have to put some effort into their character. I think study time should be increased and so should mental weight.

Only if you give the option to decide how many copies of a move you want to write on parchment. Seems good to me.

Actually it sounds like you only get +1 from studying a 5x instruction even if u already have the skill. which wasn't clear in the announcements. i still would like there to be a mental weight associated with them.
