Give
human guards alertness levels. |
Makes human guards act more like AI (unalert until
aware of thieves). |
Much more realistic. Artificially stops the guards from 'knowing'
that thieves are coming. |

Alertness 'points' could be gained by seeing thieves/stolen
loot and lost by running around etc. |
Would be hard to make the game know how alert a player is to thieves.
Might spoil fun for guards (especially against ghosters). |

Creep
button plus. |
Adds extra functionality to the creep button making
you de everything slower but quieter. |
Would benefit ghosters and allow easier use of moss/water in camped
areas. |

This could include lockpicking, bow drawing and opening
doors/chests. |
Guards would lose the ability to hear thieves (most ghosters leave
little trace except sound). |
Non-combat arrows now draw quieter (1.3) |

The guard would also assume your direction. |
It wouldn't detriment the thieves, just take away a bit of tedium
for guards. So, none. |

It could start when all players have clicked or (if
they all don't) after a short delay. |
It might get annoying if you don't want to talk. |

Mages cast spells rather than use convenional weapons.
They would regenerate spell points to cast spells. |

Improved

When a guard uses the supply chest his helmet is
replaced/repaired (if he bought one).
The helmet could reduce flash effects. |

There could be two versions of a helmet (cheap - use
once and expensive - unlimited repairs).
A helmet could make a guard BJ-invulnerable (requiring 1 full power
hit to remove it). |
Making the helmet too powerful might mean thieves never win (only
MadGerbil would like this to happen...) |

Could tie the reasons for different prices into the

Also could be good to disable certain items on some maps. |

Fighting
stick - replaces the sword and BJ. |
It can KO guards from the back like the BJ , but
also stun them (overhead attack) from front ; can block attacks.
Adds visibility like the bow does. |
Would look more realistic and promote ghosting (it won't be that
cheap). |

Perhaps add a block limit after which it breaks. |
Being able to block and KO with the same weapon allow DMers to take
on a lone guard anywhere. Virus may miss his dear sword. :> |

Mech could be given various disadvantages (like distorted

Guards could also get a warning if a thief bumps into
the back of them (e.g. trying to KO and gets too close). |

| Guards
have 2 hands... |
Let guards carry small items whilst they have a weapon
out, dropping it if they swing the weapon.
They put away their weapon if they pick up a large object and auto-equip
it again once their hands are free. |
Makes it less hassle to move small crates etc. |

This could also apply to flares (which are also dropped

Could give guards partial invisibility or could 'crack'

Potions could break when stepped on. |
Upsets the balance of the game. |
