I like a) limiting limb generation to troll blood only and b) making Mellis less generous

IRC also had a history, but you're right.

Yeah I think the problem is not lack of history, it's just nobody wants to go to the effort of searching that history.

Anyways sorry for the off topic, I have some ideas on how to make this better and will work on them

I never really used IRC even when it was active, but wouldn't those discussions still get lost? Or no

Yeah, they shouldn't become pets.

I'm not sure if they should technically be on your team, or should just be removed from the New Attnam team and become hostile towards New Attnam.

This is all just me spewing ideas though, I'm not saying this is a priority or will be easy.

I'm fine with an amulet of magic resistance, but I think it should still be a bonus in addition to the ability to train it yourself (just like there's helms of perception, brilliance, etc.)

Maybe the "leader" effect should be based on the highest charisma of the person on their team.

May need to adjust the existing NPC charisma to make it work but:

Let's say Decos's is 25. If your charisma is 30+ then the slaves try to help (but most likely they will immediately panic and flee, unless you give them equipment). If your charisma is 40+ then some of his guards betray him.

Petrus's would need to be 50+

I'm not exactly sure how the teams work - is Tweraif a subset of the New Attnam team? Because attacking a slave will piss of Decos but attacking Decos will not piss off the slaves.

We may need to add some kind of "Loyalty" trait. That also makes things interesting because then maybe Petrus's wives are less loyal to him and would switch over to your side more quickly than his guard.

I was going to suggest that last bullet as well. If your charisma is really really high, it would be awesome if when you attack Petrus, some of the Attnamese join your side.

I think we've talked about a way to intentionally get rid of spider webs. What about a feather duster item that can be 'a'pplied in a direction. It could take a random number of turns to actually bring the web down. Also could be a somewhat rare item because I think getting stuck in webs is a big part of UT

Oh ok, yeah the unmelting ice sounds cool.

Thanks for the polycontrol explanation.

I feel like there is a flaw with either approach:

If it's RNG, then you could get extremely lucky (find it early and get polymorphed into something powerful), in which case it is overpowered
If it's on an NPC, then you probably have to be pretty far along to get it, in which case it's not very useful (the whole point being, in my opinion, to be able to play and grow as a different type of creature)

That was fast thanks Ighalli!

A couple thoughts
- might want to change the material from ice, in case we do implement melting ice in the future
- price 250 vs. 750 for polycontrol. I'm thinking this one should be more expensive

For polycontrol, what determines what level creature you're able to polymorph into? If I'm just starting the game I can't intentionally transform into a mistress torturing chief can I?

I do worry a bit about balance but if you can only polymorph into super powerful creatures by accident, then that helps
