The White Stag

[bigsteve33]

I really Love the House P pendant to increase your travel speed. I wish there was a trinket to use in the wilderness area. So my though is this- how about a white stag i.e. a challenge to obtain a "speed trinket" for wilderness areas (not quests or dungeons). As a group is adventuring thru a wilderness area they spot a very majestic white stag in the distance, up on a ledge, thru the trees, standing atop a dune or whatever. The stag can appear in every wilderness area and is immune to magic and missils. Only melee weapons can damage the stag. The reason is because it makes the party have to catch the stag and devise a way to corner it using teamwork. The chest drops where the stag is killed and has only one item in it for the one person who dealt the killing blow. Hopefully this would be agreed upon by the party before or during the hunt, but regardless; whoever kills the stag gets the trinket. As a personal favor, I would request being given the first trinkiet via mail for the idea. I would further add that the trinket increase the speed of monks and rangers only a little bit due to the fact that they are already fast.

Wasn't this the ending of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?

This is the part that got my attention. Why should monks and rangers be excluded? Last time I checked rangers ran no faster than other characters. Monks and Barbarians get a natural speed boost. Rangers need to use an enhancement (5/day) to run faster, but only for short periods. Or they have to use a spell. Just like wizards and sorcs. So, if you exclude rangers, best exclude anyone who can use a haste pot/scroll.

My point being, you can't exclude any class in the game from your idea. It'd have to be all or none or you'd be getting responses that are a LOT nastier than mine in response.

BTW, I like the idea of a pendant for explorable areas.

you are proposing a challenge that you are setting up as a team challenge, and setting up a reward that discourages team play. It's alright to have only one drop per kill, but if you have an entire team trying to corner this thing, only giving the drop to the player that got the killing blow is a slap in the face to everyone else who helped, and encourages antisocial and even exploitative behavior. You'd be better off sliding it into a random party members pack like the mabar event drops.
