A New type of subrace

[Azeel3]

Just kicking this out there for thought, but i noticed a lot of ppl that basically play alone or a lot of times their friends or guildmates are off line, and a lot of these ppl have said they didn't want to start a new guy because they had a dozen lvl 40's of most types that they didn't want to play.

Is it possible for the dev's to use one of the wiki subraces that not too widely used say like durger, rock gnome, or as i noticed lore dwarf.(which is still incomplete) and make a toon that a single player can use to search the entire world for items questing. This Toon lets call him a (Seeker) would only carry a staff, and that staff would be for defense only. No other weapons could be used by the seeker.

They couldn't attack other players per say, but rather the staff would help them boost their hide and move silently, search , listen, and spot through the roof. The goal would be to find a specific set of items hidden in small out of the way areas all over the realm. Rather than def or raid or pvp. This new type of toon would basically be questing for a list of items that once retieved would allow him to get some other item to be used on his next toon only; i.e. some artifact item or maybe a few +4 books,something that gave his new toon an edge towards good or evil.

They would basically travel alone, avioding other players searching. They could only kill lets say other seekers, undead or constructs which might spawn once you found a hidden room. They would have to max out their hardly used Search skill, and parry for the staff. and only with a maxed out skill and that staff would your search be at a level to see these higher level hidden doors that are randomly placed, and moved around all over. So if there where 30 rooms on the server maybe only 3 of them would hold an item, one good , one for evil and one that was just a nice prize from a book to a weapon to armor.

The Seeker would appear blue to everyone save another seeker. The idea would be that he hide and sneak around. Maybe even be able to hear party chat if they where close enough to a group and undetected. Only in finding a certian number of items and killing off the constructs and undead that guarded them maybe getting clues form somewhere along the way they could level. So they could level faster but as they level the doors become harder and harder to find, because on higher levels like hod or shadow plains the monster would be more dangeriuos and harder to avoid.

Killing a monster, another player other than a seeker would destroy your seeker making you start over form scratch. So you really don't want to run into any one or any thing at all. I think it would give ppl who play by themselves or are bored with pvp and relic raids and def something else to do that would inspire them too build even better toons.

Once you had completed your quest with that seeker, all items would be turned in to a dm, checked, and your Seeker would be deleted, your prize for good or evil would be bestowed unto you and you would be free to build your next toon using the items given to you by the dm. You'd only be able to make another seeker once you've created a new character and leveled him to 40. This way everyone doesn't have a seeker running around at once. Plus i'd really like everyone to keep their favorite fishing holes to themselves. Its one thing for a seeker to follow another covertly, another to just ask him where to look and wait there.

This should be like a giant hunt for really cool items to make super warroirs and wiz's.Dm's should scale the prize so they don't create Frankinstiens monster, but it should also be worthy of the efforts put out by the players as well. I will put up a poll for a seeker subrace so everyone can vote on it some i hope. Anyways just an idea let me know what you guys thing tyvm-Azeel3

Lets see, it'd make you use of a skill that is useless right now in NS4 (search). As well as making use of all those cool zones that no one ever steps foot in. It seems like a whole other way to play and I think it sounds pretty cool.

If you don't like it then don't do it. It's not like you'd be forced to play it.

WE have seeker toons already. They are called DM's.
