Title: Monster Spawn!!
Post by: Meclar on July 16, 2005, 02:00:29 AM

Mo wanted a poll about how the Monster Spawner should work so post now or for ever complain about something you can't change  :P

I like the idea of having randomly spawning monsters from the spawner.  Not sure if that's possible though.

I said in order of difficulty, but it should be randomized with a % chance based on the level of difficulty.

So say, there is a relativly high chance (40%) it will spawn a group of Time Wights and Petrified Zombies, then a lower chance (30%) it wil spawn a few Kobold Commandos or Entropic Death Knights, then 20% to spawn 1 or 2 "almost boss" monsters (Ayssal Fire Mephling, Spellstiched Alhoon, Baelnorn Demilich), then a 10% chance to spawn a boss.

The percentages could be based on the number of PCs present so that if there are only one or two PCs in the area the chance to spawn the lowest level creatures rises to 50% and the chance to spawn a boss lowers to 5% for instance. If you got 8 PCs in the area the chance to spawn a boss could raise to 20%.

Also, the spawner could keep track of what it spawns so if it happens to be spawning the lowest level creatures over and over the chance fo it to spawn high level ones should increase.

Id rather pick what I want to fight, I could be in the mood for something.

You could have like, 3 levers that say, Easy and spawns 3 of a randomly easy monster. Then Medium and spawn either 5 lesser monsters, or 1 boss. Then of course Hard when all the super hard to kill things get dropped onyou for their pleasure.

Ok if you wanna come up with the complete logic, I'll be more than happy to script it.  But right now it's too hot here for my brain to do both :P

420's Idea implied by a "Random death" lever and a choice "Choose your demise" lever.
