Skeleton Colonists/Undead Eskimo Ghost Role

Post by FantasticFwoosh » #228341

Based roughly on recent rounds in which admins ran a experiment of putting skeleton to live within a (sort of) self sustainable sphere materially because they are not acted on by hunger or temprature really.

Inside a full wilderness microcosm biospehere/(alternative map?), the skeletons live by cutting down the trees for bonfire wood, making shelters and such. Surrounded by snow they'll quickly outgrow their cold home and have to go out and face dangerous monsters who have *BONES* and corpses needed to turn into bone brothers by literally constructing them on a altar.

> Ideally would want to be seperate to ashwalkers by some definition (similar scavenging style) else this would just be powercreep, in my own mind the undead eskimos are somewhere between full teched golems & stone age scavenger ashwalkers by having greater reliance on preserving & utilising limited resources and how to manage the basics of collecting and applying those.

This isn't a terrible fleshed out (har har) idea, but some more feedback as to mechanics to snowball it up would be great. :honk:

Why are skeletons making bonfires?

Could be interesting if they were inherently vulnerable to lavaland's heat & had some ability which protected them from exposure for like 30 seconds but only recharged in cold. Then combine that with harvesting resources to make some kind of Freeze Beacon (placeholder name) thing that, when deployed, would drastically lower the temperature in a 10-tile radius (converting ground to snow, lava to regular lavaland ground, and stone to transparent ice blocks (that still contain now-visible minerals, and can be broken like reinforced glass, helpful since you don't have mining tools)). And the effects are reversed if the beacon is destroyed.

Maybe say they're cursed eskimos, exiled to this world as punishment for their crimes against the Space Eskimo Empire.

They could fight by throwing snowballs. Edit: Snowman Sentries that are snowball-throwing turrets.

In the admin event 1 house = 1 skeleton spawn.

Houses required floors [could just be snow], walls, doors, and a bonfire.

instead of skeletons make actual snowmen race :^)
