I'll go first. Resistance to poison.
BUTTERCUP - To think -- all that time it was your cup that was poisoned.
MAN IN BLACK - They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

Whaaaaaaa! Awesome.

Torture devices that potentially do permanent (or long-term, difficult to heal) damage to the PC, rather than only being usable for death.
Introduce an additional stage of health following mortally wounded:
-10 to -20 health: mostly dead

Good one!
Some kind of code option (mask? conceal?) that allows PCs to hide their true identity in order to assume another identity, or even fool loved ones.
A particularly nasty location that has a room echo like 1-2 ticks before something violent happens.
You hear a sound like gas escaping from the ground.

Elkran powered torture device.
Ability to feign a combat disadvantage.
That's already in, actually. "I'm not left handed either!"
It's not really in, because no one will actually notice you're doing it--if you're the Sergeant and you're training a recruit, it won't make a noticeable difference to have a weapon in your offhand instead of primary hand. There aren't sufficient coded ways to put yourself at a significant combat disadvantage that are not just stupid.

ROFL, brytta. Completely.
What we need is a "spar" command that, when engaged in, will make both PCs use their full defensive ability, but will peg the offensive ability of the more-skilled PC at equivalent to the less-skilled PC (or +5% or something). Then during the fight if either PC decides to go for it, they type "kill" and it's a real fight.
Temporarily flammable cloaks.

Kay, me next. Ability to ride two people to a mount.
BUTTERCUP - I thought you were dead once, and it almost destroyed me. I could not bear it if you died again, not when I could save you.
Westley is dazed. Silent.
Buttercup tries to speak again, can't, and is swooped off her feet onto Humperdinck's horse, and off they go.

If you're really that good, you can spar newbs while EP'ing a shield with no weapon in your ES hand. That way they can at least get a few swings at you before you knock them out, heh.
Of course, eventually you have to progress to strapping a log across your back while fighting them completely unarmed vs. weapons. But that's just me bragging. :)
Yeah, been there and done that, but my point is: It's dumb.
Blindfolds!
Stepping past the corpse, taking the blindfold and bindings off Buttercup, who notices Vizzini lying dead.

It's just the mere fact that you have to do such ridiculous things to hold yourself back in combat.
That's what the problem is.
Lawl. I think you guys should start another topic! It's been a couple week since I've seen this argument.
How did the GDB live with itself before "disengage"?
Rhyme code.

When you etwo a shield, you still somehow manage to swing a single-hand punch, if I recall correctly.
It you really don't want to fight back just disengage and tell them to keep attacking you.

That and the partial death torture device would be awesome additions to the game.

I would just like to make note of something. For the first part of the thread, I had completely forgotten about The Princess Bride movie, even though I had seen it.
I honestly thought people were referring to The Princess Diaries movie.
The ability to be repeatedly stabbed, past the point of absurdity, and still track down your assailant - if your background has laid the death of a parent at the foe's feet. To keep the skill balanced, you must enter a well-rehearsed chant every fifteen seconds.
