IAmCrystalClear Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I get it, it's 2500 and we don't want to offend anyone. We get the cool Null staff, the awesome Null rod, and the OP(citation needed) Null athame, but should that really be all? Specifically, I'm asking for a Null Crucifix, because Space Jesus is a thing, and we need him in our lives. It'd be a nice depth-enhancing item that catholic priests/nuns/whatever can use to feel like they aren't carrying around a huge, weird staff. Rosary Beads and other similar things would be cool, too. Not just for Christians, but the ability to expand each faith with more interesting items. Tl/dr: Add Null Crucifix option to null item list.
Coalf Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Overspecification is a real issue and the chaplain is already over-westernized. Having pretty much everything resemble the Christian style of worshipp rather than trying for any kind of variety. I couldn't support a crucifix unless the new update covers all the major religions.

Coalf Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 And there is the crux(ifix hehehehehehe) of the problem.
Kaed Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 If you can provide me with the religious symbols needed I can take a stab at spriting an obsidian version of them. I don't know what 'full coverage for all major religions' would look like, because I only know a handful of religions symbols in the first place. What would I even use for a buddist symbol? A ying yang? That's hard to do with obsidian, it's one color.
Arrow768 Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 I dont really see the need to add the "full coverage for all major religions". We have quite a few items ingame already that are not too specific and can be used however the chaplain or shaman likes.
Coalf Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 The jumpsuit is clearly styled after the christian priest wear. The holiday priest is once again, christian. The backpack is clearly shaped after Warhammer 40k. Athame is a pagan religious knife. Candles and crayons aren't really religious items. Note we don't NEED more religious items, but it would be NICE to add more. The chaplain role is rarely played as-is and I don't see any harm in any variety additions if they're there just for pure flavor. It's not really something that is going to make or break the meta. Also for a buddhist, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khakkhara work perfectly.
