Purpose served, more or less Spoiler Attempt three at providing a prompt to help make a system that appeals to PvP players and PvE players alike, following up on the Wishing Well and Wandering Merchant threads. This is more a proof of concept than an actual idea, feel free to suggest alternative presentations. The core point is to have a system that doesn't allow direct selection of items. As a proof of concept, I went more for general, vague possibilities associated with tarot meanings. Different RP premises or selections of emphasis are always possible, and you ought suggest them! ---- Have a page that offers tarot cards. You can have one card activated at any time, and change your selection at any time. The card selected adjusts your loot tables to favor specific drops, say, with a 20% chance that an item will pull from the selected sub-table, rather than from the main loot table. Examples: The Fool - Favors tokenless drops [pvp] or treasures [pve] The Magician - Favors Wizard items. The High Priestess - Favors Priest items. The Empress - Favors racial and class skill items The Emperor - Favors Warrior items. The Hierophant - Favors items with assist cards The Lovers - Favors items with hybrid cards The Chariot - Favors items with attack cards Justice, reversed - Favors rogue items. The Hermit - Favors items WITHOUT attack cards. Wheel of Fortune - Favors items with move cards Strength, reversed - Favors items with handicap cards The Hanged Man - Favors items WITHOUT move cards. Death - Favors items with terrain cards. Temperance - Favors items with utility cards The Devil - increases the chance to get duplicates of items you already own but don't have enough copies to equip an entire party with. The Tower - Favors items with armor cards The Star - Favors items you don't already own [lower chance than normal to activate] The Moon - Favors items with block cards The Sun - Favors items with boost cards Judgment - Favors items currently in shops The World - Unlocks once you have one of every item currently available. Favors treasure items [more than Fool] and gives treasures a chance to drop from PvP chests. ---- Additional idea: Make the card a random daily draw that you choose whether you want to activate; and increase the benefit the cards give.
