The NEW Horrible Ideas Thread

Not just for DoomRL ideas anymore...

So I had a funny idea for a Horrible Ideas Thread post, but then I came by and saw that the Horrible Ideas Thread had been locked. Which is a shame, because the HIT was probably the funniest thing on this site other than some of the mortems. So then I figured "Why not make a new one? One to cover all the Chaosforge roguelikes, not just DoomRL!"

So here we are, with the first Horrible Idea of 2013:

DoomRL - Angel of Chaos and Archangel of Discord.
One of the more bizarre experiments got loose. Nothing makes sense anymore.
Even though it had been suggested over a million times, Angel of Chaos takes the standard Roguelike formula of not automatically knowing what the letters represent and applies it to the items - basically, it randomly assigns a new color and letter to each major category of item: new icons for melee weapons, guns, boots, armors, medpacks, and powerups; new colors for the individual variations, exotics, and uniques. Is that purple 3 a pistol or a blue armor?

Archangel of Discord is that but with the enemies included. Is that blue c on level 7 a demon or a baron?

ZicherCZ:
Is this blue c a demon or a chiangun? ;)

Angel of Reverse:  You start with character level 10  (maybe higher?)  and choose all your traits at the beginning.  Then, every time you level up, you instead *lose* a level and choose which trait you lose!  So, the more kills you get, the harder the game gets.  Diamond badge would be playing UV with 100% kills.  :P
