just some ideas that sprung to mind while i was playing ZAngband... "You have grown a scorpion tail {-5 AP}." a good amount of the time when you attack, you'll deal a 2nd/3ed strike for ~1d6 damage (plus bonuses to strength) and poison your victim. "Your skin begins to glow! {+4 AP}" finally a corrupion that actually increases AP. you also become a walking lightsource (as if you were always wearing an Amulet of Light). the bad part is that if you become invisible, monsters still see you, and stealth is useless because monsters will always notice you. "You have developed sharp fangs and a thirst for fresh blood!" gives you a special that costs you ~2000 energy, and can only be done if your victim doesn't notice you (i.e. you're invisible, etc. so if you have the glowing skin one too it's impossible unless you do it to a neutral monster). what it does is cause 3d3 damage, while healing half of that to you and increasing your satiation level by 10 x (damage dealt). |

I don't think that someone glowing would become more attractive really... Besides, corruption is not nice, a corrputed person will evetually, not be nice. Nearly all corruptions in the game gives Ap penalties, why break the tradition? ;) And finally, Ap is not the most important attribute in the game. IMHO totally useless. My Ap usually are in the lower ranges and I am never bothered. Nice ideas overall though. Perhaps the glowing corrpution could give a penalty to Charisma since people would feel uneasy when near to a glowing character. Just my humble thoughts. :) [Edited at 08:44, Friday, November 16, 2001 by Locke] Locke Cole |

wouldn't glowing also mean you become a human lightsource? |

i mentioned that didn't i? yea i did. and ur rite Locke... how about the only atribute change is -4 to CH, maybe also -5 to DV (it's easier to hit a glowing object in a dungeon than a dark object in the same place. |

A penalty to DV sounds like an idea yeah. :) Another idea would be to give the PC a chance to hurt gremlins with the glowing at random times. Locke Cole |

Or a random chance to blind creatures with your bright light, like off the traps? Maybe that would hunger you more like the acid breathing one. |

"You begin to feel the burning fires of Hell within you..." Double the effect to the rage curruption. Grants ALL the firespells but everytime you use them you get currupted. "You close attunment to astral beings allowing you to summon dark creatures" -4 Wi, -2 In You can summon black unicorns at a penalty of minus 1 willpower permemently. This can be used however many times you like, until your willpower runs out. If your law, the unicorn won't be your friend... "Snakes grow from your head!" -5 Ap, +4 DV You can add 2D8 snake attacks which poison if you get a critical hit. Snakes will sometimes get confused when attacking you. "You feel you connection with your God darken" Amulets of Chaos give you added bonus in attacking. If you have lawful God he will get more easily angry with you. If you have a nuetral God he will ignore you more easily. If you have a Chaos God, he will help you out more often. LS [Edited 1 time, last edit on 11/13/2002 at 10:26 (GMT -5) by Luke] |

"You grow thick fur all over your body" -5 Ap, -2 Ch, +2 PV, (-1,-1) to hit, cold resistance. "Sharp Claws grow out of your fingers!" -3 Ap, can't wear gloves, + 2 damage dice while fighting unarmed(combines with the thorns corruption), +5 damage while fighting unarmed, greater chance to cause bleeding while fighting unarmed. "You feel an animal instinct" +5 Pe, - 5 Ch, Alwayes Aggresive while at full hp,then very aggresive, berzerker, and coward when less then 10% of total hp. A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks.

Sharp Claws + Poison Hands would be a death sentence... then again, entering the Drakalor Chain is pretty much a death sentence :) Die Gedanken sind Frei |

Good point. You have lost an eye. -? to ap and 1/2 pe a bit of realism mixed with the mythical creature whose name I bear as a title. It could be fun |

Sharp claws are VERY overpowered (think of what a beastfighter would do with them) so the penalty is bad enough :) You grow two more arms! - 4 rings, 4 weapons, but you can't use them when you wear armour, -4 Ap, -5 Dx (lost your balance) -5 DV (more things to hit), -1 PV (arms have many places to deal damage). A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

How about this (Beth!) a computer that doesn't crash with AN INTERNET CONNECTION, now that would be nice, and no viruses either. |

Corruption: You glow in a flickering light. Basically, this would be like a flickering room, but permanent, and it happens like every 1d20+5 moves you make. Add some penalty to it, like Perception -5 because as soon as you get accustomed to the lighting, it's replaced. Have a nice day, Later! |
