Down Time Food/Drink

[Rhinehold]

One of the things I REALLY liked about WoW was the reduction of down time with food/drink.

Rather than carry around another full set of regen gear, could food/drink be implemented to give a temporary boost to health/mana regen?  Perhaps very light weight breads/wines that provide a 30 second buff to the regen.

Yeah that could be easily added.  Can't see any reason not to use it.

Just a general outline of how it work

Food=Hp rgen
Drink=Mana rgen

Food works as a spell, all with the same messages, ending with You begin to feel hungry.


Better food is more time or more hp rgen
Better drink is more time or more mp rgen

I'd have to go through the system and rework it, but I think I'd prefer to have this be a GreaterMud coding change.

It should scale.

level 1-9 food = X HP/Tic
level 10-19 food = Y HP/Tic
level 20-29 = Z HP/Tic

Where each level yields higher hp per tic.  Each should last for a set amount of time, 30 seconds?

same with drink.

You could make high level Mage/Druid/Priest ONLY drink since they are the only PURE casters.

We kind of briefly talked about this before with food and drink effects... Including populating areas with harvest-able produce from trees, bushes and other plants.

i'm a big supporter.  Reducing down time is always a plus.
