Longterm Projects: State Changes

[RoyalFox2140]

To create a more immersive game, and mods, player

What is a State Change:

A player interacting with the game will have themselves change based on a condition specified, with a specific result.

How is this useful:

Rewarding or taking away items or mutations or spells or resources such as mana based on things like kills, weather, rituals, etc.

Examples:

Granting a soul based on specific kills, I do this in Cataclysm via the butchery system but it's one of my LEAST favorite parts of Cataclysm.

Consuming mana for attacking a type of monster, without using cumbersome drug or attack-based effects.

XP system that rewards attributes or talents because of metrics based on what the player has done. Bombastic Perks in DDA IIRC does something like this.

Cast shock 100 times, learn Thunder. Etc.
