Thread: Ball and Chain

  1. #1

    Ball and Chain

    Somebody in my office was getting married and so as usual they put the customary 'ball and chain' shackled around their ankle. Actually it's just a bowling ball with a chain attached to an ankle-cuff.

    But, it got me to thinking. Wouldn't it be cool to see an Atrox tossing a 50Kg metal ball at yer face and then yanking it back by it's chain to chuck it at ya again?

    Wonder what professions are good with Thrown Objects ....

    Is midget tossing still considered politically incorrect?

    That would depend on whether or not they just came out of a yalm.

    Dude, though, I think that would be cool. If Atrox's can have clubs they can have morning star equivalents.

    i dont know if that'd be a thrown object...i think they were originally intended for MA's to throw ninja stars or something....eh dead skill. but seriously, anything to make a green skill worth something

    Hehe ... didn't expect anyone to take me seriously. Just happened to grab the image of a giant Atrox hurling boulders at something. Then hadda figure how to get the thing back. We might have big pockets, but there ain't much room in there. After all we are an 'epicine' species according to Startup Lady.

    Nice idea, but don't that take away the point of them being Melee experts?

    Jeremiah, I think you are thinking of Enforcers. I was talking about Atrox. There is a difference you know. One is a breed which determines strength and such, the other is a profession which determines skills.

    dwarfs

    As a person afflicted with Dwarfism, i would like to see dwarf tossing stay out of the game. Not unless they introduced normal people tossing should you be tossing people of other medical condition.

    Thinking of which, It would be interesting if every 1/2000 characters did have a non disruptive, non impeding birth (or equivalent) defect. I would love to play a dwarf atrox enforcer, or an albino NT. It would make name selection very easy, GimlitheTrox, and Ghostdamage.
    PLEASE, give use a simple YES or no answer as to whether or not the CoH chests can be opened

    Animosity, that's a fabulous idea. Random MonsterScale when your character is generated.

    Or how about +1% Scale for every 30 days /played. That'd give my MP +2% MonsterScale.

    You could even have characters start shrinking as they get real old.

    I honestly think too many characters look absolutely identical. For some reason in UO, you could look at a group of characters and pick out your buddy. I dunno what it was but everybody looks the same in AO. No wonder we need that stupid name thing floating over people's heads.

    Too bad I can't have a pinheaded Atrox. His Sunglasses would probably be floating over his head.
