Raising the Dead: Roleplay and etiquette versus Favor

Rhelian · Post by **Rhelian** » Sun Mar 07, 2004 10:02 am

Making a quick calculation -

Assume all spells = 1 favour point

Now, change "heal" = 20 favour points

Fact: Person who has a penchant for favour spamming will spam any way possible

Fact: Person will spam "heal" instead and gain desired favour level 20 times faster than normal spam

It's a bad idea, in my opinion, to adjust higher end spells to award more favour, pretty much for the above reason. Those people who don't spam will reach those high favour levels in time and are obviously good enough players to arive when they arive, and not mind the time all that much. Those who want items and favour RIGHT NOW will spam one way or another, and why should they be rewarded for spamming, and having their task made easier?

Also, as to what Nysan posted - how often can you imagine a cleric raising someone in a busy market street when there is holyground a short walk away? If you're that concerned about the character you're raising, you wouldn't want to yank them out of the afterlife, stick them into their body, and have them wake up surrounded by dirt, flies, manure, and a huge crowd of shoppers. Seems like a large gaping hole in the RP there. Go somewhere private for your most-powerful-miracle-granted performances.

As you know, some priests, those whom do not have faiths, only have Cure light.. So some of us are left to only cast cure light in situations. As far as when someone is raised, with my priest I cure them a little bit, enough to move on their own, and bring them from the room so if another is to be raised, my casting wouldn't spam or hinder the ceremony.. if I am a second priest to arive, I wait until they begin their healing spells and join in when there is little being said but the healing prayers. For me its not about favour.. seeing as I don't have a god to get favour from. Well thats my point on the topic

It is disrepectful to not ask raising Priest if you can heal or not. If it's about the roleplay then you should be roleplaying the healing.

And you were the third priest at the scene today.

Just so you are aware there were two priests there before you that had the situation under control. You should have at least had the courtesy to ask if you could assist.

That is all I am going to say on this matter.

Oh...and also....casting spells on another character can be quite dangerous sometimes.

I have a character in a faith where he loses favor to get spells cast on him...a priest tried to heal him without asking one time and he nearly ripped the priest's head off.
