I like the new no ghost mode... this will be fun to play. However I'm asking this question... do we want our normal chars to live forever? Knowing that we have a ghost that will always fix the mistakes we make during normal gameplay removes a little of the excitement of the game IMHO. For PWMAngband, I've implemented the following to add more spice:
- when a character dies, it has (nblives * 10)% chance capped at 50% to permanently lose 1-5 points of CON (idea taken from ADOM's Necromancer race which has the power to avoid death at level 50, but with the drawback of losing half their CON in the process)
- when a character dies, it has (nblives)% chance of permanently dying... this gives everyone a freebie, is very low when you die the second time (1%) and increases until you have no other choice than permanently dying (you can die 100 times in theory...)
Tell me what you think about this...
