Subject: Sacrifice - the ability to res yourself

On request from a Spad, I am throwing this up so all can learn from my trials. I have been recently chasing the title "Knight of Sacrifice", one of the virtues currently available. What this virtue does, is gives you the opportunity to ressurect yourself, up the 3 times a week at Knight level. To achieve a level on the sacrifice virtue, you must follow this crieria:

Sacrifice & Redemption: Characters that attain a level of Reputation (Fame or Karma) will be able to use “sacrifice” their Reputation in order to defeat certain monsters.

Upon encountering a related, “redeemable” monster, players will be able to sacrifice their reputation to defeat the monster in the following manner:

Open up the Virtue gump.
Double-click the Sacrifice (teardrop) symbol
Target the monster

The following is a list of monsters which may be redeemed with the sacrifice of one’s Reputation:

Lich
Enslaved Gargoyle
Gargoyle Enforcer
(Regular) Demon
Succubus
Evil Mage

[STRATICS NOTE: From player feedback, we have heard that Evil Mage Lords (blue robed) can also be redeemed]
You cannot target a redeemable monster if:

It has already taken more than 15% of its maximum hit points in damage.
You cannot see it (you must have line-of-sight).
You are invisible.
You are dead.

Attempts to sacrifice Reputation to anything other than the redeemable monsters will have no effect.
Once a monster is redeemed, the following will occur:

The character’s Reputation (both Fame and Karma) is set to “zero.”
The monster disappears in a cloud of particles
The character will gain a certain amount in Sacrifice, depending on how much Reputation was lost in the redemption—the greater the Reputation loss, the more Sacrifice is gained.

A given character can sacrifice his Reputation only once per 24 hour period.

Virtuous Title & Abilities: When a character has achieved any number of Sacrifice points, he is considered to have achieved a certain step on the path of Sacrifice.

When a player moves his cursor over the Sacrifice symbol, a title will be displayed, indicating the step currently achieved in Sacrifice for that character.

First step: Seeker of Sacrifice
Second step: Follower of Sacrifice
Third step: Guardian of Sacrifice

Players who progress any number of steps on the path of Sacrifice, but do not continue to actively pursue it, may discover that this Virtuous title reduces in steps over time.
Gaining steps in Sacrifice will grant a character the ability to resurrect himself a number of times each week, equal to the steps achieved in Sacrifice. Players will be able to access this ability by clicking the Sacrifice symbol on their own Virtue gump.

First step: Self-resurrect one time per week
Second step: Self-resurrect two times per week
Third step: Self-resurrect three times per week

There will be certain notable benefits & caveats of self-resurrecting:

Players will be able to instantly resurrect their characters which have achieved any number of steps on this path of Virtue.
Self-resurrecting characters will not suffer any stat or skill loss normally associated with “insta-resurrection.” However, effects such as Murderer-based stat-loss, Faction-based stat-loss, etc., will still apply.
Self-resurrected characters will only have 1 Hit Point and 1 Mana Point upon resurrection, just as if he was resurrected by a healer, friend, or shrine.
Characters which self-resurrect will instantly recover all the items they had on their corpse, except for any items which have been looted or decayed.

Self-resurrecting characters will not be able to recover items in this way if they move across a server boundary into another server region.

Characters will not be able to self-resurrect:

…within a “multi-object” (a house, boat, etc.).
…within a faction stronghold
…while flagged as a criminal or aggressor

Once you have "sacrificed" you fame, you will be set back to your original level of fame as per when your character was created, so then you must once again go killing creatures that give you plenty of fame...Fame can only be sacrificed once every 24hrs, so try to make your fame as high as possible before you sacrifice, as the more fame you sacrifice, the higher level of sacrifice skill you get.
Any questions?? No?? Good :)

Oh, and one more thing...I know it says this above, but I must stress it again...If you ressurect yourself using this virtue, you dont lose any posessions unless looted or have gone accross a server line to res. Which means, if you quickly run yourself away from the combat and res before anyone can loot you, everything you were carrying reappears in your backpack...neat huh?? :)
