Crusader-K/Marius Lightheart/ Custom Summon Theme

[Strife and Discord]

Probably worth discussing what he should get before voting. Summoning theme means he actively needs to hostile others and cannot leave them around

[Hangman]

I know with undead you can remove them from party and leave them as hostile encounters- is there an option to do that with summons?

It's a completely different system

[Echo]

i'm not opposed to him getting (even more) cool stuff (since he has received quite a bit?) but as Puffy said, summoning themes dont work the same way that the undead system does. If you "remove" them from your party they unsummon.
Having read a bit on Bhaal, I'd say undead theme would fit more than shadows would.

[SpiffyMeister]

In terms of loot, I think he's only gotten a cool item that generates of placeable, nothing that makes him mechanically stronger, but a tool that lets him tell a story.

I am thinking we can upgrade his symbol to spawn undead slowly overtime maybe?

[Puffy]

Give him more bags to store undead in?

[SpiffyMeister]

@Puffy Sure. We can drop some bags of holding on him and call them 'corpse carrying bags.'

This sounds cool. As long as it's slowly and the spawns aren't OP.

• What happens if no one visits the area for a long time only to have some poor noob get there and see a horde of Undead?

• What if he set this symbol outside of a quest area or even next to a transition?

Dont forget also that timers are not always reliable so what we might perceive as slowly might end up spawning all at once.

My recommendation would be:

1. Allow him to choose setting a normal symbol or a summoning Symbol

2. The summoning symbol cannot support more than X amount of undead at a time. Once it reaches that limit it will have to wait for one of these undead to be killed/destroyed before another one can be summoned forth

3. Once the summoning symbol is destroyed no more summoning can happen

4. Only one summoning symbol per area is permitted or at the very least within Y distance from another one

5. The placing of a summoning symbol will not be permitted inside certain areas or within Z distance from a transition

6. Marius cannot control these undead. If he faces them they will be hostile to him too

@Strife-and-Discord I spoke with strife we're gonna add a generic solution to this

[Puffy]

Has he gotten this already? (Pretty sure I know the answer) noticed there are only 3 yes votes and no confirm

[SpiffyMeister]

I need to fix his little summoning totem still. Just tired is all.
