Battering rams

[Burnt]

New item/command for woodworkers and smiths

Battering rams.

They come in the wooden and metal. They should be heavy (50+ lbs) and should leave a little message whenever you enter/exit/cross a room, like canoes do, (Joe leaves east hauling a battering ram)

When you have it held, whenever you bash a door, the damage that would be done to you is instead done to the ram. You keep bashing until either the door gives in or the ram splinters.

Thoughts?

Perhaps it could reduce the amount of damage you take rather than eliminating it?

That being said, I like that there is risk from bashing down doors. It's what keeps hooligans from looting every shop in the city.

Yeah, I'd be a bit worried about them becoming too prevalent. I imagine there would be some IC consequences if you're caught hauling around a battering ram in public without a very good reason.

Can two people be required to co-carry items? If so, this sounds like a prime candidate.

I really like that idea - I wonder how hard it would be to implement?
