I was thinking about some of the stated goals for long term df development, specifically the ability to disguise oneself.  Then I began thinking about disguising oneself as something and actually taking on the properties of that thing.

Say I kill a priest (all hail satin, and no, I am not misspelling satan).  Then I use necromancy to bind his soul to a mask.  When I put on that mask I want my character to become that dead priest (or anything else I kill).  Whether this is permanent or not I haven't decided, though I think it should be to make turning into say, a dragon, a much more serious (and likely, desperate) action.

During Calc I wrote down a lot of ideas about this so here they are:

pt 1: how I think it might work http://bayimg.com/cakNlAAdb
pt 2: consequences of (ab)using this http://bayimg.com/DaKnGAaDB
pt 3: potentially ‼fun‼ suggestions http://bayimg.com/DAknkAaDB

Thoughts? Suggestions? Hippopotamus?

You want one of the suggestion subforums for this idea to get proper attention and feedback.

I figured I'd put it here for general discussion then post in suggestions once the idea was a little more coherent, but I may do that tomorrow.

Or if you find someone that is wounded you can play the song of healing and make them into a mask that is used to defeat a megabeast. On a side note.. cool idea.

um... what?

Sorry for the short and rude post, but I seriously don't understand where this is going.

Is that a Zelda reference or what?

[Masked_Hunter1825]

Yeah. It is.

ay I end a hoodooism (all greet satin, and no, I am not misspelling beelzebub).  Then I use necromancy to bind his soul to a cover.  When I put on that cover I deprivation my persona to become that executed hoodooism (or anything added I end).  Whether this is everlasting or not I harbor't definite, tho' I anticipate it should be to alter movement into say, a dragon, a such statesman solemn (and possible, desperate) mechanism.

And here I thought it was somewhat confusing enough to begin with.

As a side note related to the links in the OP, your mental attributes are attached to -your soul-. I don't think transforming into things should alter them. At least, not in any direction but down (Suddenly being something else probably isn't good for your mind).

maybe rust can play a part in this i.e. if you trun in to a dog then you cant speak so your speaking skills rust.
