Resuscitation

Post by raindrops »

A skill you can buy for like 500k LP or some shit, and if someone dies and you get to them within 5 minutes you have a 50% chance of saving them.
Once brought back, you lose like half your base attributes and your abilities and have a week long buff that lowers your all stats so you are absolute shit. And maybe no running. LP is cut back by 1/3 because you are still too weak to study at full capactiy and you have a wound that takes a long time to heal.

Huge cost, not 100% to come back to life and if you do your character will suck for a long time, but at least you dont' have to start over. But if you do live its not like you can go on like you did before.

I don't actively hate this idea, given how often you don't have 5 minutes to get back to the body, and how often raiders will stand on a body to be sure they're dead. Kind of makes it a challenge to see if you can get in, lift your buddies corpse, and hearth out before they see/kill you.

Also like that it adds an option beyond 'kill them'. Gives an option as a level of justice rather than just killing the raider, you could kill them, and resuscitate them. Heavily crippling them, but not quite setting them back to zero.
jorb: I don't want *your* money. You are rude and boring. Go away.
Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Way too OP.

I seriously doubt that anything like this will ever be implemented in haven, but if it is it must come at a serious cost for both the healer and the healed, as in very nasty debilitating wounds that will take literally forever to heal, and would require a fate item to heal it faster. ¦]
