New corruption ideas

[Grey]

Bump! Thomas said on the podcast that he welcomes new corruption ideas. So discuss here and post finalised ideas on the issue tracker.

Your feet attempt to set roots

Increased movement cost
Decreased Dexterity
Increased Toughness
Natural regeneration
Satiation does not decrease when standing still/slowly gain satiation while standing still

You have a much improved sense of smell!
Perception +3, can see invisible, automatically identify the b/u/c status of food, cannot eat cursed food.

Your skin is covered in pustules and boils!
Toughness -4, appearance -8, immune to sickness, anything you hit in melee has a small chance of getting sick, drasticlly lowering their stats.

Your body is covered in a thick coat of fur!
Appearance -3, resistance to cold.

You have grown a prehensile tail!
Dexterity +8, DV +4, to hit in melee +2, appearance -3; all these removed and replaced with a penalty of -2 dexterity if wearing body armor.

You recoil at the touch of iron!
Other races gain the same restrictions as mist elves.

while we're on about corruptions... is there a complete list of all the new corruptions somewhere?

I've tried looking through the forum and issue management, as well as sifting through the blog, and while I can find incidental mention of many corruptions added, I cant seem to find a list of all of them together...

While I'm here...

You hear the shouts of the thunder god
occasionally emit ball lightning (as per the wand of the same name)

The wiki provides good information on the new corruptions. Random ball lightning is something I'd try to remove immediately, by the way!

You Feel Frantic!

plus to dexterity
large minus to willpower
cannot stand still (5 on the numpad causes you to move in a random direction, other actions that involve standing still [like reading or extended search] are more likely to fail).

This should probably still allow cursed food when starving. Otherwise this + poison hands would be quite brutal.

Your natural digestion stops entirely
-2 To
Hunger rate of 0. Only special effects like stomacemptia can reduce satiation.
Early game this may be nice, but in general is hell if you get bloated, especially if there are good stat corpses about.

I love this one! Also, the random Ball Lightning corruption down below would be terrible haha.


This may not be easily code-able, but...
Your weapons have fused with your arms.
The currently equipped items in your hands, as well as your gauntlets (and therefore rings), cannot be removed until the corruption is removed. Dx -8, Ap -4, 200 less energy for melee attacks.

Too brutal? I think there should be a few more outrageously bad corruptions as long as the pool is getting significantly larger.
