walter Some skill ideas for Walter

[Mysterious box]

Just some random skill ideas I could see being useful enough for a skill point.

 

1. Portable drying rack attachment for Woby

2. Pinetree troop leader while wearing his hat and having given his hat to followers they won't go to sleep or panic while they both wear it.

3. All purpose tentroll Walter can alter his tentroll to be usable during the day however using it in this way consumes twice the uses. Also the base max uses of the tent roll are doubled.

4. Enhanced campfire stories the range of Walter's campfire stories is increased also all nearby players gain 2 marshmallows if they're in range of the story when it ends once per night.

Marshmallow stats 5 hunger, 10 sanity, 0 hp

Making Walter's tent being also usable during the day is a pretty good idea. Then we can name the skill day dreamer

what if instead it just recruited them like feeding them does? then you dont have to add a lot of extra stuff to the game just an added tag on the hat

ok, hear me out; popcorn! it would be the way to get people to eat that stuff intentionally X''D atm i dont think people eat it outside of accidentally roasting corn and like maybe once or twice during their first cawnival

It's doable but at that point why not just use food? Silk is more expensive than food for Walter in most cases and I feel like it'd need to do something more unique to be worth a skill point. In the case of the proposed skill it will let you use pigs, bunnymen, and rock lobsters more effectively by removing time of day restrictions.

It works but I feel like marshmallows fits the campfire story theme more and the end goal was to buff the campfire story's sanity regen without just boosting the sanity per minute. If we switch to popcorn all you'd gain from the story was hunger.

hats last a long time and it would be cute? but you are right silk is more valuable than food in the first season or two

fair but marshmallows require a lot more work to implement and you know how it is; the less labour the more likely a low-priority thing is to be considered

I don't disagree it'd be neat but it also would probably create a coding nightmare for example if 2 Walter's have the skill which Walter should they be loyal to or if Walter leaves the server and comes back do they become loyal again? Do they teleport to Walter when he renters the server even if he returns from a different entry point and other such things.

I'm not against the idea but the skill would need another hook then since I don't think popcorn is enticing enough for people to spend a skill point to produce.

i think it would run on the same rules as it does currently with the mob being tied to the player id specifically not to the character typing

 

also fair but i am not sure marshmallows would be much improvement if it is going to be as an enticement instead of just a neat thing for the having

The idea was that on top of the sanity gain from the story once per night he'd produce 20 sanity worth of sanity food for everyone just for listening to one of his stories. Though now that I think about it why not a combination? Let him produce marshmallows at the end of his story but eatting popcorn during for the rest of the night would be 4 times as effective for 50 hunger and 12 hp per bite.

Where does Walter produce the marshmallows from?

Clearly he is gestating them.
