Re: Tentative Entombed 2 Design Decisions
Sorry to hear about the break up! I had a really bad one when I was a teenager and wrote a really great song the next day, haha.
I now have the basics on how enchanted items work. They're similar in a way to Entombed 1 where they can modify your stats and things, but they also leverage the new Entombed 2 damage system and can add elemental types of damage as well as stat improvements.
Items can also be cursed. A cursed item reverses the bonuses it would normally have. So let's say you have a Short Sword of Strength. That would normally grant you +2 to your strength stat. The cursed version will change that +2 into -2 strength. Also, cursed items can't be removed without a remove curse scroll. So why would you ever equip a cursed item to begin with?
You might not know the item is cursed. Cursed and enchanted items start unidentified. So while you know it's something magical, you won't know if it is beneficial or not unless you identify it in some way.
There are some interesting caveats with cursed items. For example, what if you have Short Sword of Weakness? Normally, it would give -2 strength, but a Cursed Short Sword of Weakness will actually invert that and it will function as a +2 Strength weapon. There might be other ways to use cursed items to your benefit too.
