Allows vampires to cut themselves
« on: March 31, 2017, 07:07:23 pm »

Self explanatory. I want to be able to nick my finger and lace every well I see with my blood.
Also, but more complicated, being able to form a vampire coven by giving someone your blood while they sleep, forcing them, etc., and vampires under you would be forced to do your bidding and protect you.

Part of this means that adventurers wishing to gain the curse MUST kill the vampire, otherwise they lose the game, like a forced retire, and end up serving that vampire.

While I think your suggestion is a step in the right direction, I'd imagine it's pretty hard to keep track of every person who drinks from a given well in the current state of the game, especially because I've not once ever seen a NPC actually eat or drink.

What I can agree on is that ALL characters should have the option for self-harm beyond jumping into a volcano or giving into starvation. It doesn't really matter why you want to do it, it should be an option.

As far as vampires go I think you should definitely be able to offer/force/trick another person into drinking your blood. Perhaps it should make them your thrall until you release them as well.

I love the idea of making them your thrall. Perhaps part of the wrestling branch. Your thralled vampires would hold someone down in a series of locks and then you would be able to force them to drink your blood.

Vampire cultists unite!

Ooh. Imagining what might happen when you can cut yourself brings back memories of The Hobbit.

Every screenshot that I've ever seen of that were taken by me using DFhack to do silly things.

Yeah, impalement on one's sword should totally be a thing. Remember Ajax the Greater? He was done out of Achilles' armour by Odysseus, then murdered a flock of sheep thinking it was the greek war leadership. When he found out that he'd been killing livestock rather than men, he flung himself on his sword out of shame.

Pretty Dorfy.

Also: amputation of poisoned limbs.

It would be neat to have a protaganist type adventurer that has needs to do good but has been turned and is now under the servitude of an evil master.
Edit - Rather than a forced retire.
