Righteous Sacrifice

Post by The_Lich_King »

I just thought of an interesting idea for a spell, Righteous Sacrifice. How it would work is it would cost 20k exp and it would automatically kill your hearthling and cause all hearthlings engaged in combat with it, to faint and take concussion damage plus a new type of wound called holy damage. That way if your party is being chased by a raiding party you can just draw straws and somebody takes one for the team so they can get away.

Or, if your party is being chased by a raiding party, they can do this first with an alt and you're totally fucked ;)

I don't think having combat being based on running suicide bombers at the other team is a good idea.

Easy fix, have it only set off if the player is knocked unconscious or as a death reaction., Then have it track to the killer then go off. Give it a radius decay to make those on the outer edges get hit for less than those in the centre of the blast... Harder for the raiders to trigger, and if they do at least you can die laughing at them.

What you're suggesting is suicide bombers. Will they be detonated with a cell phone too?

Hell, even the name for it sounds like something a suicide bomber would say

Why not have the guy who draw the short straw stay back and fight the raiders, allowing his buddies to escape?

A lot less exploitable and you don't look like a tosser doing it either.
