Modifiers
A modifier is applied to a dimension to give it a unique twist for one run only. Some modifiers are not initially available, and must be unlocked by the player. Others may only appear under certain circumstances, such as the phase of the moon. The chances of a modifier being active are TBD.
Gobbo Swarm
- A strange, almost goblin-like species with the habit of causing havoc is different dimensions.
Merchant Ship
- A group of merchants capable of travelling between dimensions, will sell items from other worlds, including unique items not available elsewhere.
- For each run (perhaps, with a minimum level needed, so it can't be cheesed), a counter ticks down until zero, at which point the merchant ship is guaranteed to generate. The counter only resets when the player finds it. In essence, this guarantees the ship will be encountered on a semiregular basis.
Contagion
- A strange affliction, that turns people into zombies. Could also prevent the spawning of normally present monsters, to invoke a 28-days-later vibe.
- Initially locked, can only be unlocked by finding and item called "The Heart Of A Dead World".
- A small dimension, distinct from the primary list. Not as long-lived as normal dimensions.
- Initially locked, can only be unlocked by activating the "Gate Network".
