Subdual Mode

General Suggestions
#1

I see there was a topic on this back in 2018 but, here we go. There should be a way to non-lethally defeat somebody in PvP.

Subdual mode should be a toggle command. When fighting PCs in subdual mode, if you defeat them it should.

  1. Reduce them to 0 HP (so they appear as dead)
  2. After 60 seconds, return them to 1 HP
  3. Give them a five minute debuff that includes a slow, penalty to AC/AB, and penalty to stats. (to stop people from just abusing this to stand up and start throwing hands again)

Yes please. Makes tournaments, sparring etc, waaaaay more doable.

It’d definitely save on materials/items and would give medically inclined noncombatants something to do, like setting up an improvised medical tent of sorts, which would contribute to the overall RP of such events imo

@stun would be a nice command over @subdual too, quicker and easier to type. :slight_smile:

Also nice for PvP in general because it provides another option beyond respawning for those ongoing conflicts that don’t end in immediate permadeath at the first defeat.

I’ve promoted this idea to an issue on GitHub for someone to work on. Very good idea!
