[REQUEST] Prisoner Mask Expansion #1200

Request Overview

Upon briefly looking at the cursed iron masks and the various classes that have them, I decided to make a list of suggestions to add new ways for kings to exercise their authority and generosity. This would also flesh out the prisoner masks, as well as giving the dungeoneer a new machine to work with.

The Pentiment (name mending)

The Pentiment is a gruesome machine in the same vein as the Excidium. The machine allows for the following functions.

  1. Miscreants can be strapped into the machine and have a cursed iron mask forced onto them. The cursed iron mask isn't cursed perse, but literally drilled into the person's skull. The machine can be also be used to print the name and reason as to why the mask is on them. Make sure the person who receives the mask is in immense pain.
  2. Miscreants can have the mask removed, however it will cause them to bleed immensely and cause a massive stat debuff for a period of time as the mask is removed from one's skull.
  3. The Pentiment has a log similar to the Nerve Machine, in which you can track who has had a mask installed on them to removed.
  4. The Pentiment can be locked, you will not force a guard onto the machine.
  5. The Pentiment requires that the mask slot of the target is open.

Additional Prisoner Mask Functions

Aside from the obvious of not being able to be removed, those wearing the prisoner mask are affected by the Master's Rod. This should allow for the king to exert his authority over those who wouldn't normally be able to affected (adventurers who have comitted crimes). Maybe a pseudo-master's rod for dungeoneers, but only for those with prisoner masks on?

Final Thoughts

The main goal of this PR was to allow King's to not necessarily off every prisoner that has wronged them, but also not giving them a slap on the wrists. This will open a way for a new set of punishments to be implemented. The main problems I foresee with this are the systems not being used or the punishment of having the prisoner mask forced upon them is a non-issue (free face armor). It'd also be hoping that players shun the person in question who has been reintroduced to society with the mask on. Which can be a big ask.

This is mostly a shower thought that could be expanded into a unique concept.

it needs some sort of debuff otherwise your just giving people free armor

The problem would be thinking what sort of debuff that would be. I don't have the best ideas at the moment.
