• Interesting dilemma Peck, Matthew x96724c1
• • Interesting dilemma Caliban Tiresias Darklock
    On 01:38 AM 5/3/99 -0400, I personally witnessed Peck, Matthew x96724c1
    jumping up to say:
    >
    >I personally am against restricting
    >equipment from players. It would have to be based on some arbitrary
    >standard, and I dislike arbitrary rules based on the fact that it conflicts
    >with immersion. Why shouldn't I be able to pick up the sword?
    
    Here's a solution I've thought of using in the past, but which isn't
    suitable to my current project:
    
    Players have levels from 1 - 50.
    Equipment has levels from 0 - 50.
    Players have a "base" rating from 0 to 100.
    Equipment has a "base" rating from 0 to 100.
    Equipment has a "bonus" rating from 0 to 100.
    
    The main stat of the equipment when used is player-base times equip-base,
    from 0 to 10,000. A bonus of player-level minus equip-level times
    equip-bonus is applied to this, from -5000 to 5000. This gives you a range
    of -5000 to 15,000.
    
    Now, when the equipment is constructed, the level of the equipment is
    generated automatically according to an "average" stat -- the level is set
    so that an average-level character with an average base meets your average
    stat. Assume that the "average" character on your MUD is 20th level with a
    base of 50; if, for example, you create a weapon with bonus of 50 and base
    of 50, and the equipment average setting is 1,000: the 20th level character
    has a base of 2500 so his bonus needs to be -1500. That means that 20 -
    equip-level has to be -30, so the level becomes 50. If your average is
    5,000 that same equipment ends up needing to have a delta of 50 on levels;
    since it can't drop lower than 0, it goes there and stops. If your average
    is 3,000 the level gets set to 10 -- 50 * 50 = 2500; 3000 - 2500 = 500;
    500/50 = 10; delta has to be +10, so 20 - delta = 10.
    
    Well, that's the gist of it. It's half-baked, so let me know if it doesn't
    taste quite right. ;)
