Taint has not been cleansed. Black Tower would result in an influx of new male channelers. With all the options for females and the smaller playerbase it is already hard enough with female channelers up north. Everyone would switch due to better warrior practices too? I think you would see plenty of Asha’man or whatever they called themselves and it wouldn’t be fun for darkside.Mronz wrote:One reason this idea could be explored, simple fact, what if someone doesn't want to play a female character? Perhaps there are some guys on wotmud, that actually want to play... a guy.
We've pointed out repeatedly,
Tower, Wisdom, Kin, and Damane….
That is four options for people wishing to play a channeling female, but other than going to DS, we really don't have a route for a male to play.
I honestly wouldn't have an issue, if the mud timeline finally advanced a bit more, and yes, create the black tower, upon clanning no taint, since it was cleansed, . Model it partially off the White, making it difficult/time consuming to advance, but you wouldn't have to waste your life curtsying, and acting like you're a girl.
Remove the hit point cap for non-remort male channelers, maybe a strength and constitution buff when statting, heck maybe even change it to 2 pracs per warrior practice. Now that would be interesting, and as soon as you start channeling you will probably be outed and hunted. All those bonuses would more than make up for the dangerous double life a male channeler plays.
