affecting the way a room looks

Post by Kirkus » Sun Oct 01, 2006 6:30 pm

Being a follower of Talos, I like to destroy things. Now thats all well and good when you got a mob to kill. But once they are all gone you are left with nothing to do. Basically I think it would be cool if you could do something like start a forest fire or burn ndown a house but the best you can do is start a little fire and then within a short period of time that little fire is gone. But if you burn down a house that would be noticable for weeks or months, till it gets rebilt. So I think it would be cool if we could find a way to tag on something, like a note, to the end of the room description that would say something like the current condition of the room. So in my hypothetical village that a house somehow burned down it might say

This house is small and compact, yet full of the kind of
warmth not generated by a hearth. There are fishing trophies on
the wall, although very few, as this is how whoever lives here
obviously makes their living. Propped against the corner, is a
trident, with a net over it, obviously used more for fishing
than for combat. The second room from this is the bedroom,
and the smell of the river permeates everything.

At present: The room is in ashes, most of the walls are scorched black with the soot of a recent fire...

I am sure others would find a use for something like this. Like preparing for special events like weddings and festivals. Let alone repairing the aftermath of some fire of the the cause is unknown, or tending to the wounded and dieing if your into that whole healing thing.
I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
