I have an idea on how alchemy could be made more useful. First, add an item (for instance, an empty bottle) that could be like a one time use cauldron that the player could carry around, then formulae could be added for things like making bombs or raising corpses into zombie "pets". I think it would be a fun addition to the game, not really unbalancing, and would alchemy a much more useful feature. So, what do you think? -- -- -- Reeve the cat ----BEGIN FORTUNE---- It's easy to solve the halting problem with a shotgun. :-) -- Larry Wall in < 199801151836.KAA14656 at wall.org > ----END FORTUNE---- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d? s: a?
