Shattered Kingdoms

When I was a priest, I used to be pissed when people acted like I was a Healing sorcerer. People would ask me to "enchant" there EQ and I would make sure they knew I did not enchant anything, I "Blessed" items. I understand that the mechanics demand that it be the same spell, but the RP is still that priests abilities come from there god.

watching all these different posts about RP, I wanted to know if it would be possible to get people to RP that these spells come from different sources. A priest/Sorc/Warlock/shaman all get there powers from different sources, and it should be clear.

One of the awesome code updates within the past year did this.

*help consecrate*

Unless you mean that the player base needs to recognize that these are distinct spells/prayers now... In which case, I think it will just be a matter of time for the players to adapt.

Yeah I've met people who tell me that they consecrate and don't enchant as if they didn't understand what I meant. *shrugs* Try not to let it bother you though. The consecration/enchant separation is still fairly new to some people.

A variation on the echo for casting depending on class would be cool. Like, "XX starts to pray." for priest, instead of "...starts to concentrate. "...starts to chant." for shaman. A code check for class to determine which line to use? And at the actualization, instead of "XX utters the words, '<place rune-word here>'", do "XX completes his/her prayer" (or chant), or something.

I do think a code change like this would help, would it be difficult? i don't know anything about code work

Not hard. In fact, already done for next update.

I love you man

*D snaps his fingers* "It is done."

Awesome. I can't wait to see it.

Not a big fan of this sort of change, if it is going to alter the starts to concentrate echo. There is already a lot of clutter and scroll spam in combat - not sure there needs to be three or four different casting echos to add to the confusion.

Yo dawg you messin up Finney's scriptz!!!
