Chief Paroxysmus reward. Pretty uncommon.

So seer, you told me the idol was buggy, can I use this on a banksitting character that I don't care about? Like nothing bad would happen like I get stuck in paroxysmus form and log out?

They still "work" its just the code behind them is almost 0.0000014304th as bad as RunUO's craft system, which is very bad. So theres weird stuff that could happen but nothing serious like loosing stuff. We plan to revamp those eventually and recode them from scratch.

The Idol will polymorph you into the creature shown on the idol. The polymorph does not contain any abilities and is pretty much just for show. Now, the problem lies in the fact that the one who coded the idol (Not myself OR red), did not expire it properly so you would essentially have a polymorph that didn't expire.

We didn't have a good function for polymorph abilities until recently when red coded in a better system for it (Like every other system in runuo, but that's besides the point). It may now be possible to fix these up for the purpose we intended it.

I advise you not to use the idol until we post that it has been fixed. Some of the idols (There exists more than 1), may have an inactive message upon double clicking it that it's "Temporarily Disabled" but I may have missed some. Just because you put it on a character that's meant for bank sitting does not mean that you won't decide to use that player later on so I would once again advise not to use it.
