NS Gear Idea - "Cornucopia"
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:35 pm
A thought:
A cornucopia is a "horn of plenty". A never-ending supply of foodstuffs.
If there's a "horn" icon available, how about adding a cornucopia to NS? Have it be a lored item, non-droppable, you get only one of any type. All types should have the same icon (so you can't tell what they are), and be worth quite a lot (so they can't be ID'd by most players).
Once per reset, invoke the the unique power, and you get an item of whatever it is a cornucopia of.
You might have Cornucopias of Garlic, Fish, herbs, iron bars, etc. (whatever items seem amusing), and to encourage players to pick 'em up, a Cornucopia of Gold (that would add 100 * level * 1d20 gold to one's inventory).
Also...
Some DMs have amused themselves by filling everyone's packs with nominally useless items, like fish, or garlic.
So, as a variant, have a "Cornucopia of DM <dm-name>", that would perform an action of the DM's choice (such as adding an item to the character's pack), whenever the user rolls a natural 20 in attack (or whenever the user hits, which might be more amusing). For example, the Cornucopia of DM Fang could add a tooth to the user's pack on a successful hit, while the Cornucopia of DM Sun Tzu could summon a dragon whenever the a natural 20 was rolled in an attack.
A DM could add their Cornucopia to a character's pack, just so the player has something to remember the DM by when the DM isn't actually logged in.
