necro form health bars

[Slink]

I was wondering if it would be likely to see a change in color for health bars of those caster types that chose to change into a different 'form'.

i.e. if a wizzie goes to an undead form it may make it a little easier for the divine in the party to realise (since many chose not to mention it) when the caster is in a form that would not benefit from certain 'spells'.

thanx

Even better just have any status of cant be healed change the color of the health bar this covers undead forms and healing curses alike and immediately lets you know to boot the wf barb who took imp fortification.

purple HP bar if they cant be healed by normal means!

I don't really see a need for this

I can generally tell right away who I can heal and who I can't. When I am on a cleric/fvs I assume any arcane has their own heals. Maybe that is harsh but...they should. Really. If you didn't build your arcane for self healing then you have failed.

For wizard-

Fleshie? Assume they are palemaster and ignore their redbar as don't slot harm.
Warforged? Assume they are archmage and ignore their redbar unless they are in trouble. If they are palemaster, you can't heal them anyway.

I generally good naturedly poke fun of fleshie archmages. The same DCs as warforged minus the healing, nice work. The same race as palemasters but minus the healing, also good choice. Out of the 4 combinations of WF/fleshie and PM/AM, they choose the one that can't use SP to uninteruptably heal...sigh. AND have probably -10 to -15 less umd than fleshie sorcs as are not cha based. Really a lose-lose.

Anyway, it's pretty easy to tell when they are in form anyway, and you can check their buffs as well for undead traits/lich or wraith form. Considering the amount of broken stuff in the game, trying to change HP bars would probably make them go the way of the clonk ki bar...or disappear altogether.

Need? sure. Not a need, but it would be darn nice.
