Now we all know that the ring of the master cat is the most sought after item in the game... and that not killing cats is damn infuriating... but I propose that biskup didn't go far enough. In JADE, I'd like to be rewarded for not killing kobolds by getting a ring of the master kobold. It should be much like the ring of the master cat but with perhaps a few added perks... all kobolds will be neutral towards you, you can command any kobold you come across, and you can 'u'se the ring to summon a number of kobolds at the price of all your mana. I propose that this item would make the game much less annoying, much more amusing and not imbalance it at all. After all, it's not as though summoning a few kobolds will help you out in many ways. At after a certain point killing kobolds is just damn annoying. What say you all? |

Why don't you just quickly code your own game? |

Lame copy of an artifact already in the game, if you ask me for my honest opinion. Better add an artifact whip or something. Also, not killing kobolds is going to become quite a bit more infuriating than not killing cats already is... You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction? (123456789) 4 Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated. You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd! |

Yes, we need the Black Leather Scourage "Buttocks Slasher". 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. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 1/8/2008 at 13:14 (GMT -5) by Maelstrom] |

Why? We had of "What artifact do you want in the game" topics before. You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction? (123456789) 4 Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid!

I don't really like this. Kobolds are too common an enemy to not kill. To be worthwhile the artifact should then be very powerful, which might make it imbalancing, which is not good. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

So let's have a ring-rewarding lord for every monster type! They will live all on the same level in one big tension room and make a really nasty mob of angry bosses if you haven't been a weedeating pacifist. |

sounds like a great idea. I usually make it a point to kill atleast 20 cats before I reach the big room as is.... imagine a troll barbarian going from level 19 to level 33 from clearing 1 level. "I have opinions -STRONG opinions- that sometimes, I don't agree with" ---Prez. George W. Bush |

Even better. Artifact Boomerang(s) and Throwing Daggers! Then people wouldn't call the weapon skills near useless. Yeah, I know, the Black Torc is a boomerang artifact. Kinda lame though. And AMEN to the artifact whips idea. It's overdue.

Does the black torc give boomerang weapon marks? I've never used it myself. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

And Cat's Claw is a NONCORRUPTING artifact throwing dagger :) Sure, I mean, we have had those artifact threads before, but to me, especially coming from him the Ring of the Master Kobold thing seems like a lame joke. Kobolds aren't like cats - with all the mythology stuff and Egyptians worshipping them, and I'm sure the Kobold King couldn't care two hoots if one of his endless minions gets mercilessly destroyed by a powerful PC.

Is there ANY corrupting throwing weapon? Sure, you CAN throw the Sceptre of chaos if you want to, but... (The Torc just curses if worn) And the Kobolds are small dragon-folk in D&D 3rd Edition! Don't diss the kobolds, they'll level up and gain dragonblood powers! :P 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. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 1/9/2008 at 17:13 (GMT -5) by Maelstrom] |

@Nightmare: The dark leather whip "Indy" +6 to indiana jones skills. Allows you to swing over water in dungeons. @Maelstrom: I still think it would be pretty tough to level up your kobolds. Although summoned kobolds could possibly be made to disappear after some time? Just imagine... after all that time and energy spent not killing any kobolds... you gain the ring of the master kobold, and suddenly the dragon child hordes are yours. |

I think you would just level up your enemies... Just imagine... after all that time and energy spent not killing any kobolds... and suddenly all the kobold hordes are yours - dying and providing tons of exp to emperor liches looking suddenly extremly experienced... |

Kobolds are dragon-folk? That's silly - they've always been little yappy dog creatures. Bah humbug to 3rd Edition... Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

Darren - they've been yappy, SCALED dog-like creatures. From the very beginning (D&D 1st edition), they've been drawn with reptile-like scales, and 3rd edition has made use of that by giving them the Dragonblood subtype eventually.

Kobolds are like retarded drakeling midgets. That's probably where they all come from, orphans of inbreeding drakelings. "As for me, I feel priveleged to be among the only species able to make scientific inquiries." -unknown "Be sure to keep your distance if you don't have resistance." -DG |
