All craftsman/blacksmiths are not equally skilled in the art of forging weapons and armour. And so throughout the land varying qualities of equipment can be found:
-Normal items will have 3 levels of quality: Poor, Average and High. Poor: THAC0 Penalty and damage penalty(in regards to average quality), a chance of breaking. Average: Normal High: THAC0 Bonus and speed bonus. No damage bonuses. Those are for magical items - High quality normal items can be upgraded through gems. - 4 different gem types - the elements fire/poison etc - There can only be one gem per item (stops it from getting too complicated). Magic items of course can still have things added to them just like in bg2.

When i was reading igi's post and he mentioned the sucky names of the gems I started thinking. Its true that there would be no reason why a generic readily available gem should grant magical abilites to a weapon unless the gem is magical in its own right already. In BG gems are generally used as a cost of upgrading and only rarely as magical items in and of themselves.
So I propose some alternate names which will at least give some reason to why they grant the ability: Hell Fire Gem: Demons tongue/heart Inferno Gem: Phoenix's Feather Wildfire Gem: Fire Elemental's Hand/Eye Storm Gem: Storm Falcons Feather Lightning Gem: Lightning Rod Thunder Gem: Thunder Drum Toxin Gem: Vampires Nail Poison Gem: Belladonna Venom Gem: Adders Tongue Ice Gem: Yeti's Pelt Hail Gem: Ice Salamanders Crest Snow Gem: WinterWolf Pelt There are bams available for most of these already so it shouldn't be too much trouble! What do you think? |
