Hi,
I have an idea to change polymorph (control).
I'd suggest the rings that currently do this are both abolished, and
replaced by the following system:
- You can polymorph by
- eating a chameleon corpse;
- quaffing a potion of polymorph;
- zapping a wand of polymorph at yourself; or
- using any other currently available method excluding the ring.
A polymorph control counter is introduced. This polymorph control
counter indicates the percentage chance that when you next polymorph,
you may control what you'll polymorph into.
This counter starts at a value from 0 to 10, varying per class. Every
time you polymorph (by any means), the counter is increased by one, two
or three, again dependent on class. The maximum value that may be
reached is again dependent on class.
Here are some suggested values:
Arc Bar Cav Hea Kni Mon Pri Ran Rog Sam Tou Val Wiz
Starting value 3 1 0 5 2 4 6 4 8 0 2 0 10
Increase per PM 2 1 1 2 2 3 2 2 3 1 1 1 3
Maximum percentage 40 30 30 60 40 90 80 60 90 30 40 30 90
Any ideas, comments, opinions or flames?
