Long message with lots of ideas...

[Tomaseth]

I don\'t know if you saw the post but one idea they are looking at instead of being able to see another person\'s stats is a conning system. This is a quote from another one of my posts.

If you have a lot of CHA, you\'d come closer to considering what they actually are. If you aren\'t familiar with considering, it\'s when you press a certain button and it displays a message usually in different font colors depending on the level range of the character. Like RED if they are way too hard and WHITE if they are about the same level and GREEN if they are way too below your level. And the higher your CHA the better you would be at coming up with the write con.

Actually I saw that thread right after I wrote this thread.

The CHA system doesn\'t really work though, say you have a dwarf warrior type, not very charismatic, just a hack and slash, drink some ale, all around crude type of character, but they can still size up a situation based on expirience. And i don\'t think any of the evil races would be all that charismatic either, so it gives you an unfair advantage by being good, thus the world is flooded with a bunch of good characters who seek the advantage, but the world is lacking in evil characters who are so just for the sake of being evil, Like Alucard or Aelya.

Are you calling me ugly? Who is not charismatic enough? For your information, my character is the sexiest Ynnwn in the land!!! Who would not fall for a red and white 7+ foot tall, suited in full body metal armor, weilding a massive flaming sword, Ynnwn. Well, maybe I exaderated just a tad bit, but you get my point.

Hey Shanky, evil people CAN be charismatic! Just look at Hitler. He could wrap millions of people around his little pinky by giving one good charisma radiating speech. (for all you people who have been locked in a dungeon for the past 60 years or so: Hitler = Evil)
Just saying...

[Shanky]

Point taken, but he was acting like what he was doing was  good...he wasn\'t open about being an evil SOB...and it wasn\'t just him being a great orator that lead to his rise to power...the situations were just ripe for it.

[Keldorn]

True, but that was not the issue here. I have just proven that evil people can be charismatic. If someone were to be open about his evilness AND he was charismatic like hell, he could still get a large group of followers behind him. Persuade them if you will. So there will be no disadvantage by chosing the dark side.

Oh well, i couldn\'t care less, since my heart is pure! DRIVE OUT THE EVIL BASTARDS FROM OUR LANDS! MWAHAHAHAHA!  :]

Ok, this conversation is deviating from my point:
You don\'t need charisma to size up a situation, it acctually lies more in the way of expirience, which is why i like my skill system.

I will be evil!

I think that good and evil sides must have their disadvantages and advantages(I think some ppl already mentioned this in an old thread, but i will say it anyway)
Example:
You are an Evil wizard and wants to get that extraordinairy staff of total destruction, so you tell the shopkeeper that if he don\'t give you that staff for a better price, you will simply kill him, so you will get it for a better price for scaring the shopkeeper.
Example 2:
You are an Good Paladin type character and goes to the shop, and you will get a better price because the shopkeeper thinks you are so nice.... (or something)

^this^ was said by Princess Aelya (not in the exact words, but almost)

EDIT: I Think it was said by Aelya, correct me if I am wrong

Tats would be cool but bandages and flesh wounds are not likely, not to say one shouldn\'t be given the chance to were a bandana on there head or arm. Perhaps people from guilds could have flags, these flags could be from simple templates of: stripes 1-12 up and down, to left to right, with optional box with stars or symbol or letters. So that basicaly you can have you own unique flag for your guild and not need people to update or download the bitmap or whatever of what some one has drawn. instead all you are downloading is a sett of template arangements
