Report #657
Skillset: Tinkering Skill: AvariceHorn
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed Aug 2011
Furies' Decision:
We will consider this proposal.
Problem: There exists an enchantment to automatically pick up the corpse of
creatures you slay (acquisitio), but nothing to automatically pick up the gold.
Unlike items that fall (which can be used for quests, so should remain
'stealable'), gold has no further immediate use for potential conflict quests.
It then requires that a system be coded to automatically grab the gold (which
recently came up as a concern on Newbie), but only when it falls, and only for
corpses that you kill-- or you are stealing it from others. All-in-all, it is a
complexity that is not really needed. Finally: Tinkering is a bit lackluster in
options and can use more, hence the idea to attach it to a horn.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Create a new type of Horn enchantment called
 AvariceHorn. This will automatically collect the
 gold from the corpses of creatures that -you- slay
 upon their death. Squad Distribution pre-empts this
 (if distribution is up, distribution fires and
 AvariceHorn has no effect).

I like this report. Tinkering really does need more options, and this is
something that would be worth the cost of getting an enchanted horn.

Would be neat. I have no problem with adding more useful enchantments to
Tinkering, but I think GoldenHorn should just be replaced with this. Either way,
I support the proposition.

Yes please!

What a nice little idea. This would make tinkering just a bit more useful, I
agree. Also fine with replacing any of the current horns with this one.

None of the current horns are worth anything, this seems like a useful addition
or replacement for any of them.

I support this report. It'd be a nifty little addition to tinkering, and
convenient for the frequent hunter.
