Consequences of attacking an RTP #66

Pasting from Jordan's comments on d02a0bf7504232263312daaf46515084489c276c:

Clearly the retaliation from attacking an RTP should be that random crap in your game gets altered (player attributes, levels, inventory, demon prince summoning, etc) or your game crashes.

I don't think we should crash the game intentionally... ever. Altering stats seems more reasonable, but so long as it doesn't affect game balance. Perhaps simply level drain?

alliekins commented 13 years ago

The game should randomly choose to do one or more of the following:

Curse some items in your inventory
Corrode armor/weapons
Level/Stat drain
Create monster
Confuse
Stun
Blind
Hunger
Hallucination
Anger your god
Change your alignment
Polymorph to another playable race
Randomly change your class (and stats appropriately?)
Level teleport (tricky to ensure it's never to the player's advantage)

Additionally, if the RTP is named Kevin Thompson, it should summon Team Ant.
