Role Playing Guidelines and Rules.
The Green Lantern Oath
In brightest day
In blackest night
No Evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship Evil's might
Beware my power
GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT
Each member of the Green Lantern Corps will be given a Ring and a Lantern.
There is really no good way to simulate the abilities of a GL ring in UO so all of this can only be handled through Role Playing. The Ring will impart the following role playing abilities to its wearer.
- Protection from the elements - Ring Bearers will not be affected by extremes of tempeture, weather, or other environmental conditions. They are constantly surrounded by a force-field which shields them
- Indomitable Will - wearer may not be hypnotized or subjected to any form of mind or emotional control or manipulation.
- Immunity to Vampirism and Lycanthropy - Vampires and Weres may be able to feed off of the ring bearer but they may not be turned.
- Cure Vampirism and Lycanthropy - this can not be done against the other player's will. They must ask to be cured before a GL can take action... the downside is that the person to be cured... must first be killed.
- Memory Wipe - wearer may erase portions of a persons memory, or conversely restore it. The ring can take memories from one person and implant them in another.
There are some general guidelines for Role Playing a Green Lantern
- The Ring holds a 24 hour charge. *
Every 24 hours, you MUST recharge it by going to where you keep your lantern... or to the Central Battery, which is the Guildstone. You must stay there long enough to recite the Oath, at which time the ring will be recharged for another 24 hours. If you do not make it to your lantern, or the Central Battery... the ring will cease to function until you do so.
- The Ring has a Yellow impurity. *
If you encounter an opponent wearing yellow, the ring will not work against them. Wearing yellow is defined as an amount that covers a significant portion of the body (i.e. A cloak, a robe, a suit of armor). If the opponent only has a small amount of yellow, it is assumed that a GL would be able to work around this. Some colors in UO are indistinct and could be debated as to wether they were actually yellow or not. DO NOT exploit this. If it could, in any way, be construed as being yellow, then play it as if it was.
- Always give help when asked
Use judgement in this... if an Evil character asks you to help slaughter innocent victims, don't do it. But if an innocent person is in trouble and asks for help, give it.. always...
- Wearing Green
Wearing of Green is strongly encouraged but not mandatory.
* Korgoth is, in effect, a living battery. This confers upon him the following properties.
- No 24 hour limit, no need to recharge.
- No yellow impurity - the impurity is in the rings, not in the energy
- Ring Bearers may get their recharge from Korgoth
