Title: Rejected: Scroll of Control
Post by: Attano on December 11, 2016, 01:05:29 PM
Name: Scroll of Control (Undead OR Monster)

Function: Allow temporary control of BT monster and undead.

Summary: These scrolls allow you to align one unit of monsters/undead to your realm or a special rogue realm allied with all non-daimon worshiping realms and hatred with Netherworld for one turn (the one after scroll usage). What this does it has three possible outcomes; successfully, failure and Daimon control. For example Bob casts this scroll on a unit of undead attacking Bobsville, he knows a Daimon unit is coming and uses the scroll in the hopes of getting a meat shield for the Kingdom of Bob soldiers. He gets a message similar to this:

You work the magic encased in the scroll, directing it at the creatures. Golden flames kindle in their eye sockets, as they remember their former lives. Then the flames go out, only to be replaced by an infernal green, Daimonic laughter echoes...

This causes the undead to become allied with Netherworld and support them in the battle.

Benefits: Gives humans some more CS in combat.

Possible exploits: Netherworld or Daimon-Worshippers using them.

The RP possibilities for my character could be fun.

Heh instead of something like this, I'd rather have a scroll turning all your men into daimons for one battle XD

"There are many dead soldiers in this region. You raise a unit of 60 undead to serve your cause."

;)

This idea has interesting possibilities.

Though the name would kind of suggest another potential scroll mechanic: casting this scroll at someone, you control his actions for the rest of the day...

I like the idea of controlling undead/monsters for a single battle.    there would have to be a chance that it back fires and they attack the player in combat.

I think people may quit if they had their character controlled for a day.  There is a scroll that paralyzes a player during battle, I think that's far enough.

Well, maybe if the caster had access to all the nasty stuff, like "delete character", "step down", any of the lordship commands, "change allegiance", any of the government commands, etc.

Making a noble travel against his wishes, though? Don't think people would rage over that.

Yeah, I might rage quit if they had access to the nasty stuff as Chenier put it, but forced to travel wouldn't be that bad I'd rage quit. It would make things interesting. Say you are facing a close battle. Use a few of these on the enemy and boom, you shift the momentum your way. It has possibilities.

This is the daimon equivalent of the banishment/holy light scrolls humans have, so no. Humanity gets to destroy the beasts, not control them.
