Personally, I want to add immortality to a mud. Not "I'm an IMM, I'm the
boss of this mud!" type of immortality, but rather, more of a curse. Sure,
you may be immortal, but how long does it take your body to heal after I
beat the hell out of you so you are reduced to pulp? Imagine healing up
from -50000 hitpoints, being unable to move, look, or do anything. I
wonder how great they would think immortality was once I got done with
them... maybe I'm just twisted, but I though it would be an interesting
thing to add *grin*. Now add in limb based combat with the chance to
sever limbs.
You see the limbless elf Boffo lying here, writhing in pain.
look boffo
You recall Boffo was once a great explorer, who discovered the
fountain of youth. Boffo the immortal has no arms and legs, and
cannot see or speak. It seem someone didn't like Boffo too much.
Shrug. Anyway, how's that for a broken horse, and no one even died!
Quzah. (Feeling a bit twisted this evening...)
