Idea for monsters

[Steve McDonald]

Hi all,

I've had this idea for a while. Always thought it would be cool in one of my designs. But since they never get finished, I might as well share it with everyone.

Now that there is virtually unlimited numbers of different monsters, I think it would be cool to give each monster (yes, each individual monster) or person encountered in combat has a different name (and possibly a different icon).

So if you are fighting a bunch of ogres, for example, you would see each ogre's own name when you are fighting them. Only problem is no repeat combat events, I guess.

This will be truly possible when multiple monster races are available.

i personally look forward to fighting darrell, bob and ted; the three ogres that beset the party as they camp for the night.

i think the layered icon files are really good for this. you can have all of your goblins in a fight wearing capes, for example, but each could have a different colored one.
i guess the only problem is if you don't have paintshop pro or photoshop. people could always ask me and i could email something since icons or so small in size.
