Permanent handheld talisman for cultists to communicate with
Created by: gbasood
- Earned via special sacrifice rune (possibly? not sure)
- Handheld only
- Same usage as communication rune, only it wouldn't go away on use, unlike a paper communication talisman
- Would require knowledge of communication words
Pros:
- Better cultist coordination
- Another option in place of convert/sacrifice to nar-nar, which encourages more than just CONVERT EVERYONE
- Yet another item that could be used to identify cultists
Cons:
- Better cultist coordination
- Not sure how to implement, don't think that a new three-word rune is the best way to go about it considering that most runes wouldn't require you know ALL the words of another rune
Considering the cost of creating the thing would be at LEAST risking revealing yourself, I think the risk/reward is pretty okay. Cultists having a hard time communicating is somewhat a key part of the mode, but the thing is that any cultist who can get off the main station will never have a communication problem, since they can just research words and write communication runes whenever they want in relative secrecy. A permanent communication item sort of makes up for station-bound cultist's inability to go as undetected as someone who lives on the asteroid/gets EVA stuff and leaves to DJ/hacks into teleporter and goes to DJ
I also think that it sort of makes up for the sacrifice rune being fairly garbage in most cases. I haven't seen a cultist use sacrifice in order to learn runes EVER
