Goodberry

Post by Isolrem » Sat Jul 02, 2005 1:33 am

A druidic spells that allows a player to injest type Trash and type Nature objects as food, neutralizes poison in foods, and also removes alcoholic effects.

Eh, I would prefer this spell to be more like the way goodberry is in D&D.

It creates 1d6 number of goodberries in the targets posession, each of these act like a cure light wounds spell when eaten.

Maybe Goodberry isn't the proper name... but I am trying to suggest that effect, seeing as druids can cast cure light wounds anyways :)

I think the way it works in D&D would be great on FK. Little portable cure light potions that could fit in a small box or chest, rather than those big clunky potion bottles. I would think that they would also have a high nutrition value, so two of them would stuff you. They would also be good gifts from druids to friends, etc.

Why would we be eating type trash to begin with?

Trash in the game are things such as pebbles, rocks, mud, etc. The magic just allows your to digest these things, although I think the nature-eating would be used more often (flowers, etc.)

Why would people eat trash? Ask the people in fast-food restaurants.

Actually, though, as far as code is concerned, an object type of trash is just anything that doesn't fit into other standard categories (weapon, armour, etc.) This could be anything from a rock, to the Waterdeep Newspaper, to a weaving loom.

And honestly, code aside, I can't think offhand of any occaision for a druid to be eating rocks.

That said, the spell has been flagged with an interest to code, but to code it per the original DnD design of the spell.

Yet, the rock would be object type projectile; the newspaper, object type book, and the weaving loom, object type furniture.

We tend to avoid as much as possible the object type TRASH, so, code-wise, a spell that enables someone to eat trash objects would be useless.
