Anything that would make DT's not be such a heart wrenching issue

Whatever happens DTs absolutely should be a 'heart-wrenching issue'.  That's the whole point of them.

I think 50%-of-a-remort worth of exp is too little for anyone but very low level chars.  I think a better meter would be 50% of your total experience up to that point.  So if you have 30 remorts, cutting a deal to get out of a DT costs you 15 remorts worth of exp.

It has to be enough that players seriously consider choosing the DT over the Deal, and if they do cut a deal, they have to live with that decision for a long time.

All the ideas are good but I do like Once's "Deal with the Devil" most.  I would suggest that if the player is not actually levelling, i.e. "Can now remort", the exp shouldn't count towards the Devil's price.

2) Add More DT's as it makes people more careful.

IMO everything without a script clash should be perzable except Orcrist, and if someone is willing to fix the scripts, everything except orcrist should be.

It doesn't matter much how much statless RP items cost as they are purely aesthetic, they could be given out for free.

RESTRING MACHINE WOO!  That'd be great.  I guess statted restrings (e.g. from a machine) could not have scripts attached and would not be reloadable except by buying a new one, so they would be inferior to perzes.  Maybe make the price proportional to the stats somehow? 1 bronze / equivalent in TP per stat would make restringing a good item comparable to reloading a perz.

I don't see a problem with duplicates if you're willing to pay for it and I've never seen the point of a 15 perz limit.

If you buy the perz you can put a script on it to stop someone else wearing it.  Not everyone wants that though.

That said - Golems should be perzable.

Xer if you're fixing any scripts to allow perzing this would be a good place to start

I would say the stat allocations (melee, magic attack defence) should be scrapped.  They are too unbalanced and I think race has always been a bad place for them.

Any thoughts on balancing these ones?  +500 carry weight on centaur looks OP compared to the rest of them.

Customisable perks would be really cool.

Post ideas for better race attributes!

eg:

Centaurs - don't need a mount.
Martians - infravision + breath in space.

Need to be unique things that are beneficial outside of battle.  IE not just +10% melee damage.

Chaos artisave room only seems to work for a limited number of items.  Somewhere around 7-8 they start crumbling in order of earliest added.

If you're using binary flags why do you need africanexploredtens0...africanexploredtens9?  Why not just use one long flag?

ie. %africa.charat(4*10+5)% instead of %africanexploredtens4.charat(5)%

not sure what you're after.  if you remote tensvar %actor.id% then %actor.tensvar% will point to 'africanexploredtens4' and %actor.tensvar.charat(20)% will point to 4.  If there was a way of changing character at index you could modify it easily, otherwise you can loop through appending characters onto a new flag, with a modified char at 20.
