Beethro drinks a potion. It might even be /yellow/. All of a sudden, he is completely invincible! Roaches can't touch him, serpents don't seem to be able to eat him, and the Slayer's hook can't penetrate his skin!

He goes to slay one of these now useless monsters...only to find his sword passes right through them. Even the orbs don't seem to respond to his weapon. And it's looking a little more transparent than usual. Hopefully, quaffing a second will fix his little problem...

Alright, so basically, this makes Beethro invincible, but unable to harm anyone or strike orbs. Yes, he still drops trap doors. Yes, I guess he can still kill serpents in hallways.

It'd turn every enemy, essentially, into a Wubba with varying AI. Can't hurt Beethro, Beethro can't hurt it, with the addition that he can't strike orbs. The varying AI is important because, well.

Head through a hallway filled with roaches, manuevering around them....grab the potion, turn around, and now kill them all. That kinda thing.

Possibly something like this?

Maybe in this mode, Beethro could kill wubbas, because he's become as light and fluffy as they are! Cue hours of psychological torment for those who think wubbas are "cute" and must not be slain!

I would suggest that this potion should also be overridden by invisibility.

Invisible Beethro drinks:
Invisibility Potion -> Normal Beethro
Invulnerability Potion -> Invulnerable Beethro

Invulnerable Beethro drinks:
Invisibility Potion -> Invisible Beethro
Invulnerability Potion -> Normal Beethro

Question:
Would Beethro's mimics also become invulnerable in a similar way? Would they still be able to kill monsters? What about decoys placed while invulnerable? Invisibility potions don't affect mimics. So maybe these shouldn't either. But an invulnerable Beetho + mimic would be a scary combination.

I think this would be a good idea, especially with killing wubbas. I think that while beethro can move his sword onto roaches, they can't move onto his sword. I think that mimic and decoy poitions can't be placed while invulnrable and they don't affect mimics. Also, swords should not be able to kill beethro.

In my defense, that was over a year ago.

Keep in mind we didn't have JtRH back then, and, well, a lot of the new elements would work with this.

Waw! I like this idea! 1 point for you! (I don´t know if 1 is enough, or how much it is)

So this is like a "white flag" mode. The details by Someone Else are good for me, too.
