i havent seen a staff of the magi yet....has anyone incorperated it into the game yet or iz it something thats already in the game and i missed it?
I dare say that a staff of the magi could be added to the game though it would be a weak version of the PnP version, it currently isn't in the game, we only have about 11 of the spells it can cast in the game, and there is no mechanic to vary the number of charges a staff uses for each ability, and no mechanic either for its main purposes (spell absorbing and retributive strike).
Hum, the retributive strike couldn't be done emulating the balor "fuck you all" explosion ability of the Balor? In any case, the satff of the magi it's way too powerful and unbalancing, IMO.
The retributive strike would be the easy part - I've set off fireball graphics here and there in the past, very easy to do, plus a damage script accordingly. There was one in A3 for memory, for those who want the Slavers modules done.
