So this is a game based in colonial america, its called salem no less, but i have noticed something, i am unable to build stakes and as such unable to burn those practitioners of witchcraft, however i have a suggestion to fix this
- A relevant, Witch burning skill would be introduced
- the ability to build stakes with the carpentry skill
- picking up unconscious people stops them from respawning until they are left alone for a minute or two
- unconscious people would be able to be used on stakes
- stakes would require large amounts of tinder and possibly crucifixes
- upon using a torch on it, the person in question would be consumed by holy fire and have their soul sent to god for judgement
- they would die forever
i feel this is important to the game and would add many levels of depth and witch burning

a person already dies forever when murdered (so there'd have to be an incentive to staking - maybe no crimes, staking requires upkept church, that kind of thing?).
Aside from that, witchcraft is a feature announced by devs which we are all anxiously awaiting

This would be fun for roleplaying, if the burning leaves a murder scent like a normal murder does, and the ability to build and operate a stake comes when you get Cain & Abel.

I'm pretty sure devs have thought of it, this is supposed to have witchcraft and I believe there has been witch burning concept art. No real need to discuss much unless it's really interesting.

Burning witches happened during the inquisition. New England witches were hanged.

And except for the actual Salem witch trials, which were a fiasco, most witch trials were fairly reasonable and level headed.
But this is a game... and.... burning people at the stake is more fun than hanging them, yeah.

I would suggest that you will get scents for murdering witches unless you properly stake and burn them (doing it in the proper way leave no scents of murder). Obviously you would need proofs of some kind in the inventory for it to work (scents of witchcraft?).

NO WITCH TRIALS WERE REASONABLE OR LEVEL HEADED!!! ARE YOU INSANE????
Also, why are we discussing something that is not in game yet. Once we see what the devs have planned we can discuss how to improve upon it. Until then we are just talking out our ass_krakens.
