One thing later u should add: The Wanderer Option. When u create your universe you can also choose if it should contain "The Wanderer". He/She is a human who cannot take any kind of damage (!), is ten times as strong as your avearge orc (!!) and he/she wonīt age and can use every spell exept the most powerful spell in the universe 20 times without resting!!!

All of u should come of with ideas of single powerful, weak, funny or otherwise special things that could be added.

The Bouncy Man: A man who only gets affected by gravity at 10% compared to other humans in the same weight group. He should also favor landing in settlements, steal something cheap and then bounce out of there!

I think that other important adventuring types will be in there. If they just happen to steal using some wierd magic or whatever thats really much more of an acheavement on Tarns part than the "bouncing thief=1" flag...  If it just happenes that the most powerful wizard is wandering around doing nothing then I suppose thats... dumb... but thats not the kind of thing that belongs in the options menu...

What does everyone else think?

Ok, then letīs change the wanderer option a little... Instead of choosing to have him/her in the game at universe creation phase, you can choose to add him/her later. And he/she could be a powerful wizard who suffers from walkomania (tm), if he/she doesnīt stop traveling when not eating,resting or such, he/she will experience physical pain!!!

But WHY would something like that exist??  If its such a powerful wizard they could easily remove it or get around it somehow!  There could be some curse or another that would cause people to be forced to wander around, but powerful people would be more likely to kill the person trying to curse them or dispel it somehow.

I don't know about menu options in the beginning, but cursed wanderers are a great idea.  Sure they can be powerful, they are just unable to break the curse.  Maybe that's why they are wandering!  More likely the curse makes them evil and hostile and the longer they stay in one place the people around get mad.  This type of curse is like the kind on werewolves and vampires.

It doesn't have to be a curse though.  An NPC just has to be given the will to wander for what ever reason.  Spread joy through the world with magic spells!  A good target for those wishing to please Armok.

The main thing is, StoA is about creating general rules from which this stuff arises.  Wanders can come in all shapes and degrees of magic power, there just has to be the will or compulsion to wander in them.
