|
|
Okay, so my question is...
Why can't fire giants use weapons that are material "water"
Ice I could understand, so just curious...
am referring to things such as water cubes and wave churners...
Code: |
get wave
You get a wave churner.
You drop a wave churner with stinging fingers.
|
Thanks. |

Because its hard-coded that water zaps them. |

Could have it instead that picking up stuff made with vuln materials damages the one attempting to pick it up, and disintegrates the item instead...
Code: |
<500hp 500m 200mv> get wave
You get a wave churner.
A wave churner MUTILATES you!
You drop a wave churner with stinging fingers.
A wave churner disintegrates from contact with your skin. |
Eh, on second thought... nah. |

Aight Dav, thanks...
Just seems kinda unfair that avians can use ivy swords etc, but fire giants get screwed...I suppose no plans to either change the weapon type, or change the code eh? Thanks for the answer anyways.

On the whole note of all this junk, why can't stone giants hold anything 'windy' (I guess)? My stone giant tried to pick up a wind amulet, and dropped it with stinging fingers. |
