As of now, I am a barbarian level 110, yet I posess the magic of an archmage, the prayer abilities of a pope, and i can destroy monsters in 1 hit.
Lets limit the usage of items and add a script for which classes can use what items.
Also, lets add additional information when examining an item that will tell the player who can use that item.
-Examples-
That is Red Dragon Amulet -stats- -Classes: Sorcerer, Alchemist, Warrior, Fighter-
That is Darkflame Sword (dam+9) (attacks: physical, fire, fear) (can only be used by : Barbarian, Warrior)
That is Plate Mail of Power+12 (str+1) (ac+whatever) (can only be used by: Barbarian, Warrior)
That is large morning star (dam+12) (attacks
hysical) (can only be used by: Barbarian, Priest)
That is Robes of the Magi (speed+2) (int+3) (pow+3) (ac+1) (attuned: fire, cold, electricity) (can only be used by: sorcerer)
That is Sword of Boshism (dam+80) (attacks: weaponmagic) (can only be used by: Gods)
you get the idea.
This will mean that i cant go picking up rings of elrond as a barbarian, slapping them on, and running around spell flinging. Barbarians should not even be able to comprehend magic books.
