How should Norseband implement rune magic?

Use the standard ToME system, possibly with more in-theme damage types in place of some old ones.

I'm unsure, don't intend to try Norseband, or won't use rune magic if I do play that module.

[Norseband] What should be done with runecraft?

#1 Post by ISNorden »

Since the general idea of runic magic seems to fit the Norse setting, I should probably retain some version of runecraft in the Norseband module--but which would you consider most appropriate and playable? Please vote and/or leave comments here.

The first three all sound equally tempting ideas..
If treated like demonology runecraft would just be another kind of demonology.. Maybe not good.
I didn't quite get that old system when I tried it a couple of times, so I'll have to choose the second one.

IIRC, runecraft was rewritten for T3, so it's hard to say if that will be a good system for norseband...

it might be interesting to implement the future T3 system into the current T-Plus to give it some testing... Not sure if it's worth the extra work though

I'd be willing to give the new runecraft a shot in the next T-Plus release; could you e-mail me the relevant scripts and tell me the changes I need to make in s_info.txt? I'd appreciate that very much!

T3 runecraft relies on the ability to add new flags, not possible in T2
