Thug Skill Idea

[Lycron]

I heard feedback the other night that there aren't enough things to use gold on. Here's a thought: What if you could use gold as a weapon? For the gamers here, this should spark a memory of Final Fantasy VII. Basically, you could pick an amount of gold coins and throw it at an enemy. Obviously, the amount would only be one part of the equation - but also standard factors, attackers strength/damroll/skill level/chance and then the victims armor class/dexterity (for moving out of the way) and other skill level factors. Imagine you were out hunting a player or mob, and you could toss about 5k gold at them to do around 100 damage (something comparable to rift). The amount would need to be capped to prevent abuse of course. Thoughts?

I kinda like it. Gold is quite easy to obtain though, so this shouldn't get out of hand. Also what are your suggestions towards lag? And where would the gold go? On the ground or added to the person you throw it at? Or will it poof?

[Eathor]

I'd suggest it poof, and should lag 1 round (like a spell) and 5k gold should hit about as hard as a lightning bolt....I mean, lets say you are fighting someone as a mage, in the fight you cast what, 4 or 5 lightning bolts? That's 25k. Might not seem like much to the super rich, but think how long it actually takes you to save 25k....and you use it up in one fight? That's a pretty good amount, I think. Makes me think of the Brandon Sanderson books....Mistborn anyone?

Meh. This is a step away from the fantasy D&D model in a way I do not support.

I am all for it. I have 16 million stashed away somewhere that will surely give Ink a nice bruise.


Okay, actually I think its a bad idea. Sorry.
