I'm not sure if this should actually be titled "token suggestions" but I'm hoping that this topic can stay afloat with anyones'(read: think it over and explain well) suggestions for adding to "entity" or "object" capabilities.
I'll start with the first.
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=91933.msg2567058#msg2567058This OP wishes to have a creature that spawns with armor and a weapon. I think that is a fantastic idea. Certain creatures, think ephemeral demon master materializing through hell into our world clad in brilliant armor and weapons of demonic perfection or the good old hollow suit of armor and mimic chest, should generate with items equipped or have the capacity to simply be an animated item. Perhaps a simple [EQUIP_ITEM: (item code whatever)] would be representative of a creature to have that item with them in hand, or in mouth if they have no proper graspers. As for animated items, all items equipable or buildable(table, cage, etc.) should be able to have personified qualities, like a mouth rimmed with razor sharp teeth in a chest instead of phat lewt and that chest is perfectly capable of biting. Another neat enemy may be the phantom sword. Whatever.
I'd list a suggestion like this under a creature token and perhaps entity token category. Who knows how Toady operates but it seems like the best place to put it.
