The ability to lift not only unconscious hearthlings, but conscious ones would be neat, though given the nature of the ordeal you should only be allowed to do so with the Theft skill (Or a new Kidnapping skill that leaves scents even longer than Murder? As well as preventing hearthing home.)
The most desired reason for this is saving allies who are drowning, it doesn't seem right that we can only sit and watch as they drain stamina and suffocate on water where we could be dragging them to safety/land/boats.
The other reason is the added aspect of possibly kidnapping people/holding them at a place for whatever purposes are desired (Though, in this case to prevent trolling it might be desireable to add a way to hearthlings to suicide).

At least with kidnapping you might have a chance to live again.

Like I said, I don't see how it's any worse than being straight up killed in combat.shubla wrote:Thats just dumb mechanic that would be abused.Archiplex wrote:Not any worse than death, if they can rage and attack you, they can kill you.shubla wrote:Bunch of alts that can kidnap you, no thanks.

I mean if you could field some actual complaints I'd be happy to explain why I don't think it's a bad mechanism, your comparison doesn't even make sense.shubla wrote:Lets add command that crashes server.

Thats just pointless. Its idiot mechanic. Theres no ponit ni adding it. NO ONE would use it for anything except griefing or abusing,Archiplex wrote:And what I'm asking is could you explain /why/ you think it can be abused?shubla wrote: Neither your mechanic.
