FRIENDLY GHOST NOTES
Advancement:
Normal Skills:
GHOSTLY GAMBIT
Type: Combat
MP Cost: <charlevel>
For an MP cost
equal to the user's level, the user may attack as normal, but using an average
of all their buffed stats to determine if they hit and how much damage they do,
rather than just their Muscle.
Source: Class-specific skill of the Friendly Ghost
Price: N/A
Class: Friendly Ghost
Level: N/A
Effect: Damage and chance to hit are calculated as
normal, but calculated from ((Muscle + Mysticality +
Moxie) / 3) instead of Muscle.
When used:
With great spirit, you invade <his> personal space for n damage.
With great spirit, you throw some exploding playing cards at
<him> for n damage, mon ami.
With great spirit, you try to make friends with <him>
accidentally dealing n damage.
With great spirit, you wail about how nobody likes you, causing n damage to <its> ears.
Fail message (normal):
With great spirit, you fail to affect your opponent at all. So sad.
Fail message (Naughty Sorceress):
You try to make
friends with the Naughty Sorceress, but she just snobs you. That hurts, man.
You try and
invade her personal space, but it turns out that you’re only bothering a
magical illusion of her, and she’s standing behind you.
You throw some
exploding spectral playing cards at her, but those stupid paisley things
deflect the cards. Those things sure are
annoying, mon ami.
You start
complaining about how you don’t have any friends, but since the Naughty
Sorceress is kind of a Goth, there’s no way this is going to work on her. And it doesn’t.

BAG OF MARBLES
This is a tiny sack of
marbles, all of them small. There are peewees, game'ns,
duckies, and shooters, but nothing bigger. None of
them look very special- mostly cat's eyes and steelies,
with the occasional flawed purie mixed in.
Yeah, I did some research on marbles after the wand thing.

Component)
Type: Ranged weapon (2-handed sack)
Power: 10
Selling Price: 1 Meat

TINY ROCK DRILL

battery-powered drill used for putting little holes in stone. The battery – not to mention the assault – it

one use out of this before it stops working altogether.
(Meatsmithing
component)
Type: Combat item
Selling Price: 20 meat
(in-game
plural: Tiny Rock Drills)
When used:

and start drilling a hole in their <bung>. The drill breaks, but not before 3-5 damage
leaks out of the hole. Along with various fluids.
Ew.
---
EMPTY STONE CANNON
This is a big rock with a
tiny hole in it. From the hole comes…
nothing. It’s not loaded. But if it were, it could fire things. Small things. But imagine if, like, an endless stream of
tiny, angry snapping turtles was pouring out.
That would be one of the weirdest things you’ve ever seen, man.
(Meatsmithing
component)
Selling Price: 100 meat
---
MARBLE BLASTER
This is a hefty rock designed
to fire marbles at supersonic speeds. Amuse

Cannot be discarded
Quest Item

TRANS-GALACTIC MARBLE BLASTER
This marble cannon fires
through multiple realities, and hurts like being shot with a slice of lemon
wrapped in a golden marble. Or something like that.

Enchantment: +5 to familiar weight, +5 pounds of Barrrnacle, familiar deals bonus 10-15 damage 40% of the

comes up to admire <familiarname>'s saddle.
<Familiarname>, not being fond of the saddle,
responds by kicking your opponent in the face-analogue. <He> looks a bit dazed.
Regular combat message:
All of a sudden,
<familiarname> gets sick of the heavy saddle
and starts bucking around, trying to shake it loose. The saddle stays put, but

Levitating Potato, allows 4 Friendly Ghost Games to be played instead of 3,

attack. Don't you fall into that trap, mind.
Note: Your familiar must weigh at least 15 pounds
to equip this item
---
BRIMSTONE BOW
This is a beautiful bow,
carved out of hot, hard brimstone fresh from Hey Deze. Your familiar will feel pretty as can be
wearing this, and probably won’t pass out from the extra weight. Probably. It’ll never leave its friends behind, but the
downside is that it won’t want to dance as much.

Ghost Games to be played instead of 3, -10% bonus item drops
Note: Your familiar must weigh at least 10 pounds

CHINTZY KICKBALL EARRING
This is a multicoloured
glass gem, shaped like a ball, and turned into an earring. So basically it’s like any cheap earring, but
because it’s got a theme it’ll cost a fortune at any souvenir shop you go
to. Don’t you hate it when shopkeepers
do that?
Type: Accessory
Selling price: 200 meat
Enchantment: +6 to all stats
(Bonus for Friendly Ghosts
only)
----
ANCIENT SQUEAKY BANANA TOY
This is a little
plastic toy shaped like a banana. It's so old that the plastic is discoloured and cracking, and it
wheezes more than it squeaks.
Type: Combat usable
Cannot be traded
Cannot be discarded
Quest item
When used (Skeletal Monkey):
You wave the toy banana at
the Skeletal Monkey. It lets out an
ear-rending screech of joy and grabs the banana from you. Then its spirit abruptly leaves its bones in
a wailing mass of ectoplasm. Brings back
some memories, doesn’t it? Hey, that
gives you an idea for a new game!
You win the fight!
You learn a new skill: Ghostly Memories
When used (other opponent):
You whip out your
banana and squeeze it. Your opponent looks kind of horrified at the innuendo,
but is otherwise totally unaffected.
