Idea Suggestion: Stoning

Allow a player holding a round stone to right click throw it at another player.  Not looking for an Insta-kill here, just remove x pips of food from target.  Throwing a stone should not be impeded by property fences.  A thrown stone should knock a target off a horse / horse & cart.

There should be some "weapon" that doesn't require a craft to make.  It should be easy enough for a mob of civilians to be able to stone a slowed aggressor or problem player to death.

Re: Idea Suggestion: Stoning

Whenever you think of something.
Think of all the ways it can be abused.

People are not allways all that altruistic. Look at your idea again and think of all the ways it will benefit a griefer.

Re: Idea Suggestion: Stoning

the damage has to be a percentage or else it will be a baby/kid instakill.
Also, the one-shot kill can occur when people are hungry.
Just make it a disarm or slow only might be better.
But scream would have to apply here as well too to attract attention and help.

Maybe it would take 5-20 stones. That way a group of quads can't stone someone, but villagers can.

Re: Idea Suggestion: Stoning

Stoning people has been around since biblical times, if not earlier.  It would make sense that it could kill infants or elderly easier than healthy adults.  Snowballs had the same drawback when it came to killing people with low food.  I think it is reasonable that anyone should be able to chuck a round rock with a right click and inflict a measure of harm.  Add a no-pickup mechanism to it like mosquitoes inflict, so one person doesn't stand on a pile of rocks and rapid fire them.  A community should be able to mass punish a person, possibly to death, without a huge investment in tech.  It would probably be the closest we can come to shunning somebody, or protesting an aggressor who possesses better technology.
