Occam's Razor

[Gandalf Parker]

Things are slowing down so I thought Id toss abit of humor in here.

I WANT OCCAM'S RAZOR
It must be a powerful weapon. I see it used for the finishing move in some of the most powerful battles in the newsGroups. This is an anti-pretender weapon? yes?

Personally I think that Horn of Cornucopia should have had the power to over-feed enemy troops. Make them too full to fight well. But thats beside the point.

Come on you know-it-alls. Get creative. What powers would an Occams's Razor have?

Hmm, maybe have all its stats the same (5 att, 5 def, 5 prot 5 length) and teach it's weilder the Dispell spell.

If that's too powerfull, maybe it could cast 'Iron Will' or 'Gift of Reason'

It would definitely need to give it's user magic resistance. Maybe also let you hit ethereal enemies?

Hmmm, when given the chance to strike at 2 different enemy target's, it automatically picks the less "simple" one... assuming the "simplicity" of a unit starts at zero and goes down by 1 for each special ability (eg: sacred, cold resistant, stealthy, etc...), magic skill level or heroic ability level.

At the beginning of each battle, all troops beyond the first soldier of each troop type are destroyed.

Duplicate entities thus removed can be restored using a new nature spell, "Necessity".

Well, "Necessity", "Simplicity", that's the same thing, really... just 2 different ways to implement it.
