> First, I think locate mark is busted. I read the helpfile, used the syntax contained there in and got "Huh?" in return. I also used a variety of other syntaxes, again all I got was "Huh?". > With that said, I'd like to see Mark of the Prey made more interesting. Don't get me wrong, the skill is infinitely useful and I pretty much mark everybody right before I attack them. > However, I'd like to see it given some flavor. I'd like to see Assassin1 able to see Assassin2's mark on the victim. Then, if Assassin1 kills Assassin2's mark Assassin2 will know about it and can retaliate against Assassin1 for butting in on his business if he so chooses. > It'd work like this. > Assassin2 marks Victim. > Victim runs off for one reason or another. > Assassin1 sees Assassin2's mark on the Victim. > Assassin1 kills Victim. > Assassin2 learns about the death of his marked Victim from a tell from "Shogai" or some other named assassin guildmaster even just "Your guildmaster". (Your guildmaster tells you 'Assassin1 has killed your mark. Would you like to retaliate?' > If Assassin2 wishes to retaliate he can reply "Yes" to the guildmaster's question and a mark will automatically be transferred onto Assassin1 the next time he enters an assassin's guild.
