Something else with skulls

[Chakravanti]

Obviously, as jorb has said considering. But the idea is just so fucking awesome i can't see it abandoned due to ridiculous exploitability and imba.

So, here is my proposition: Temporary inheritance of the subjects three highest skills or attributes. Directly applied, this should take tiem to study like curios and could use the curio window. Rather than providing LP it makes your stats equivalent to their three highest. IF theirs is less than yours well then that's how the cookie crumbles. Killin' nubs should be as useless as it sounds. If you manage to PK someone of higher skill then you should definitely be rewarded for it.

It also allows you to sell them, but given as there should be no way to truely tell, it should be the kind of trade that depends on trust even more heavily than a regular trade (and as this is H&H, that's saying something) which unbacked heavy pkers will lack. Moreover there's really no way to tell what a given skull would provide and being able to stockpile them can give trophy hoarders something to collect a little more depictive than...oh i don't know...SHIRTS? (AMIDOINITRITE?)

Something along these lines. Temp buffs tied to dead player's stats that don't end up ridiculously powerful. I could see directly adding them to your stats but then that would require a serious reduction modifier to make the alt farming roughly half as expensive as actual development. Therein hearthling sacrifice to unmentionable Gods actually becomes a viable game mechanic but between being a temp buff and not instantly evoked it doesn't become OP. However, such ends heavily favors the offensive player which makes me dubious of it to be as simple as that.

Somewhere herein lies a great way of making hearthling skulls studyable (because that is just awesome) but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe one of you will creatively expand on this.
