dangerous items

[Brune]

Hi folks,

Some years ago, a nonhealer friend told me he was carrying a caduceus to sell...it was equipped and he bumped into an exile.

Then the cad exploded and he was PND.

Anyone know of similar circumstances? Has this happened with other items?

I don't really want to experiment with this...but it might give us some information about the nature of our healer tools.

Thanks, and Happy Feast!

Was this before the cad/staff split? If so, then it was like using a moonstone on someone as a fighter. The cad tried to burst, and took the order literally. Kaboom!

That was probably when the Caduceus both burst heal and distance healed. I remember from my research that many healers complained that it was too hard to control the burst healing and they didn't like it so that ability was removed and the Mercurial Staff was born with that ability.

I do know, from Samwise falling when he puts on his Slyphstone ring, that any time a non-healer tries to use a Healer's tool to heal either themselves or others the tool breaks and they fall very badly. This is to discourage non-healers from being foolish enough to use healer tools. [:p]

I'm not sure if non-healers can wear Purgatory Pendents or healer clothes but I doubt it.

They can't wear healer clothes (or any color derived from a healer clothing item at its base.) I've never had anywhere near the coins needed for a pendant, so I have no idea about the latter. Find a fighter with 10000c to burn. :-)
