I have the most evil one in existence. If anyone wants to make it in-game, I'll gladly relinquish it to them. I don't need it, but it would be funny to watch it used. ;D Just to let you know, it's a double-edged sword. It really gets to everyone else after a little bit...

Examples given are the iron maiden, the thumb screw and the rack (what ever that is). the rack along with the iron maiden (and i believe also the thumb screw) are medeavial (and eariler) toture devices. the iron maiden is more or less a box (however fancy, Ex. a mummy sarchovious could be one or even a simple coffen) that has spikes inside, sometimes on both sides, sometimes just one and the point was to put a person inside and than slowly close the box on them so they would be impaled by the spikes. here's a pic of an iron maiden... ms.ha.md.us/~mike/photos/castles/germany/burg-stolpen/99g0969.jpgthe rack is basicly a wodden board that you were forced to lay on and you had your legs tied below you at the bottom of the board and your hands above you tied, so you are more or less a human sized "X". than the ropes that were attached to your limbs would be tightened by use of some pullies and a big strong guy turning a big wheel that had notches so it locked in place. and thus you were contunialy strecthed until you told them what they wanted to hear (Yes, i'm a witch, yes i killed that man in cold blood even though i was at home petting my dog, i used my spirit to kill him; that sort of thing) or your limbs were snaped off like twigs. and usually after you confessed to crimes you didn't comit you'd be hanged or thrown in jail, but at least you 'repented.' here's the rack. ms.ha.md.us/~mike/photos/castles/germany/burg-stolpen/99g0968.jpgtheres nothing gory in the pics and no blood so don't worry about anything like that. also i've been tortued (or have seen someone/thing be tortued) by breaking every bone in thier hand, twisting their arm, appling pressure to a male region that would make it wince in pain (yet again these are all roleplaying). when you have the knowledge you can do just about anything that you want to inflict pain upon someone. ;D Edit: oh if your curious where i got those pics, i just used google and heres the site where those links came from ms.ha.md.us/~mike/photos/castles/germany/burg-stolpen/stolpen4.html

well, now i suppose the real question is:
who the heck wants to carry around a giant physrep of the iron maden or rack? See, a thumb screw is practical, and portable!

lol i think they are meant to be a bit more stationary like if FWAP wanted to get one to keep inside Trino's Infemery (coming soon) or next to our helderic memorial, when we 1) get a caliever, 2) get the order founded, 3) he gets 2nd rank and learns the ritual.

okay Li (dan) was telling me about a different LARP that he looked up and they allowed gualents made out of foam.
now why couldn't we come up with some form of melee combat with mabye at least 5in foam gaulents that allowed you to punch things
or if not even that made some abilit that alowed you to catch a sword in your hand with said gaulent. make it a carded item (iron ore) and mabye it could be used to catch a blade as many iron ores you put into it.
or if not that what about a different gaulent that could grant you strength of two in that one hand. or mabye a ritual that could be put on it (mabye an artaisn enchant tools)....hmm trying to think of a way to make this work...
mabye if there was a ritual to put on an actual gaulent that could either count as iron grip or give added strength... hmmm the idea sounded better in my head.

Hey dudes.
Just so you don't put too much effort into the racial actions thing, it's almost guaranteed that it won't fly. In the old days, there were racial actions. Elves got eludes (then called escapes), minotaurs would get racial knockback, and the big one was weetles and their racial dodge. In the end, the idea of weetle warriors with dodge caused a gradual cascade that saw the end of all racial actions. I used to really enjoy having a dark elf alchemist with a racial elude, believe me.

Minotaurs actually used to have 2 racial shatters, shatter shield and shatter weapon. back when shatter just automatically broke the item.
talk about unbalanced.

Do you know what would be intresting is if alchemist use mana instead of components. It would make alchemey a little more intresting and a little easier to sale to all players. Maybe the higher alchemy would require a component along with alchemy. Kind of like runes. It would make alchemist want to get mana. ( i don't think i would like this tho ;D)

I think there should be a new enchantment!
CURSE
Acts as an opposite theif protect, Subject cannot let go of weapon and weapon does one body per 10 second damage.
Curses can be instantly dispelled by caster if friendly person picks up weapon by pointing at victim and announcing "Dispel Curse". Other dispels work as normal if person can last that long.
Perhaps only necromancers should get it?
