* Here are some shots of the new visual themes for the game - kind of a "moldy old board" look. I like it. In the third pic you can see most of the artifacts I have added, as well as some of the basic ingredients. You can also see the set of items you will start with if you choose to be a Necromancer from the beginning of the game (as well as a shovel). Dark necromancer robes you desire, and dark necromancer robes you shall have:
* Other choices I have implemented for character creation are:
Your father was a mortician (more medical skill).
You spent your young life as a gravedigger (strength bonuses and you start with a shovel - which will be necessary for graverobbing).
Your motivations are demonic possession (nice colorful description for this one).
* Also, I have fully implemented permanent death. You will have a 50/50 chance of permadeath on being defeated in battle. It's rough, but frankly it is also realistic.
If you possess the Philosopher Stone, however - one of the harder artifacts to create - you will never die permanently. Combined with its ability to turn iron into gold and a bonus to Surgery, this will be a very desired item.
* I will also add the Black Armor set in - so whether you like robes, bones or plate armor, fun times will be had by all.
Stay tuned, boils and ghouls.
