Weapon and Armor Enforcement

Another one of those random little questions that may, now that I think about it, be slightly ridiculous. But here it goes anyway. Would something like this be entirely replacing @desc me=<blah>? Or would it be more like the look <player> now, and you see their description as well as the clothing items they customized in chargen?

The multidescer will replace straight-up @desc. You set your desc-image (and can change and update it); the second paragraph, which deals with clothing, is automated.

To clarify and restate what gulp said: You can have more than one paragraph in your desc image which functions just like your normal description. But the last paragraph that will show up on 'look' details your clothing.

Right, I was unclear.

A desc will look something like this:

Gulp is fifty feet tall. He has pink hair and golden eyes.

When he talks, everyone shivers with incontinent glee, imagining his smooth voice stroking their skin.

He is clad in black shell armor three inches thick, which hinders movement and makes it difficult to see him. There is a red symbol on his breastplate in the shape of a six-pointed star.

STATUS: Gulp is a Rancor Male in excellent condition. He is unarmed and is wearing Sith'ari Armor.

Shouldn't that be "When he talks everyone who hears him swears off drinking for a while." I mean a talking rancor?

Silly, easy suggestion for people not wanting too much similarity in garments out of CG.

Put a Booth in CG and a big stock of materials. Two problems with one stone! You teach people how to use the booth before they hit the grid (I remember helping many players with that, some who had been around months since the booths hit the grid) and someone gets to design their starting outfit.

Voila!

Not a bad idea at all. I like it.

That sounds pretty good. Descs have always brought up a few questions, as well as where to get clothes. Kill two birds with one stone, right in chargen.

How horribly humiliating would it be to show up, brand new, on Vasatissa, wearing only a birthday suit? (Ladies, holomail me.)

We could give players the option of 'create your own clothing' in chargen or the option to spare themselves the effort and take some generic clothing.

We'll probably allow custom clothing creation as an option, with default randomized garments based on race, sex, and factional affiliation (i.e. new Sith probably start in crisp Sith uniforms).

Auto-updated descs? Neat.
