Re: Good Idea/Bad Idea - atomic1fire - 08-09-2014
On the note of a voodoo wizard.
Why not just give wizard a magic cauldron he can spawn for magic points (doing this gives him less to spend on spells)
Pour reagents inside, wave the staff on it and BAM, stuff happens. Stuff that depends on the reagents added to the mixture.
Obviously the weirder the ingredients the wizard can find, the cooler the effect, but some effects should be really lame, like a poof or some smoke, or maybe a bee pops out.
The important thing is that only the wizard (or maybe someone dressed up like a wizard) can use it, and if the crew wants stuff from the cauldron, they have to ask the wizard to make it for them.
A cool wizard could create nice things, a mean wizard would probably spawn really awful things if they can hide the cauldron and get the magic ingredients.

So a wizard who manages to stockpile discount dans can easly kill the crew due to the high abudance of magical and strange things in a thing of quik-noodles......I like this idea alot then

A witch getup wouldn't be bad either, especially with a cauldron

Wizard MCKillsCrew waves his wand over the Magic Cauldron.
Poof!
A buzzing space wasp flies out unhappy it was summoned.

Alakazam!
The Cauldron begins to shake, and stir, before quietly farting, and calming down.

Bad idea I want to be able to take a monkey brain and be able to make a Robo Monkey when I put the brain into a borg

Yeah really. Having a ZZ-top beard is funny for the first few times as a lady wizard but sometimes I just think it'd be cool to actually be a witch instead.

Alcohol medical reactions.
Alcohol and medicine don't mix well in real life, especially morphine.
Sure this might increase bad people's recipes, but it would also be super fun for antagonists.
For instance morphine + alcohol should knock you out for a long time, if not kill you depending on dosage.
This shouldn't really affect other drugs currently in use, considering charcoal is the only thing that has an alcohol reaction.
So really all that would be necessary would be making alcohol and morphine cause a long sleepy time or death depending on dosage.

It was the case a week or so ago when I was testing whether curing nanite infections was broken or not.

Yeah I also think that the whole "epi cures cardio" is kinda dumb since epi functions as a vasoconstrictor (tightens vessels). Alcohol also does at higher doses. So a hypospray of epi to the torso after someone ate a Monster would probably be a death sentence.
I think that medical nitroglycerin should be added.

Idea for a cool genetics thing.
Contortionism
Your joints feel weird.
Squeeze through plastic flaps without problems (e.g walk right through them), maybe bring back flipping onto tables as a contortionist thing.

You can do this while wearing the wrestling belt.

Someone needs to be a player-controlled monkey, nanite infect themselves, and see if they become a borg, an NPC bot, or a player-controlled bot. That would be entertaining.

I've been wanting the ability to be a player-controlled bot since Guardbuddies became a thing. I WANT TO PUT MY BRAIN IN A BOX ON WHEELS, DAMN IT!
