Grave Excavation/Corpse Recovery

[Dakkan]

It would be cool if we could bash/dig up old graves and get back the headless body. Mostly for RP reasons and relocation to other graveyards. Like, there are several graves nearby from various hermits that I would very much like to relocate to my own graveyard, since otherwise they'll eventually decay, at at least one is going to be in the way of a future project.

The recovered corpse would be headless of course, so no abuse there. And yeah someone could just make lots of alts and kill them for a graveyard, but that just doesn't seem like the same thing, it isn't preserving the actual grave in question.

I don't see any down-side to this, though I think if it isn't one of the ancestors digging it up there should be a risk of something akin to a Draugr having words to say with you.

Maybe digging up a grave could spawn a nidbane or some other creature corresponding to the strength of the dead character. Could go so far as to give the grave a quality, or allow several items to be buried with the body to increase its strength. Can loot the items buried with the body. Maybe adding items to a grave could give a character a temporary buff, either straight to stats or as a lp modifier. Its good to have things like this be give and take.

What could possibly go wrong?

Ah, yes: factions being able to inherit even stronger characters.

That's why I mentioned that part should be temporary. I think the lp modifier would be a better option of the two. It would serve as an incentive for those who have died to continue their next life.

Any actions like this generate still a leverage for those who knows how to use it... well... right.
