Still plugin away at concepts to make BotB more RPG-esque...
Items will have their own Hit Points or Break Index. Every time the item is used it looses these Hit Points until finally they reach 0 and the item breaks/crumbles. The item's degradation would be noted to it's owner with messages a few times in it's lifespan. Different varieties of each item will be available and the boon value will be decided by a combination of the items' base value and amount of Hit Points.
Non-Player-Characters (or Non-BotBr-Characters) will be who you buy/sell items from. We've already seen the potential in this with the random messages. Perhaps you might also be able to find them in an NPC Barn. I'd like to make the NPC's a little complex. For instance, if you wake them up in the NPC Barn and don't buy anything, they will get annoyed with you and deny their services a couple times in the future.
In the works are a few item types --
Humility Helmet - Keeps BotBrs' entries from auto-favoriting, also allows unfavoriting own entries.
Totem Cloak - Someday a user account will be able to manage multiple BotBr accounts. This item hides login/logout info from the IRC chat room for BotBrs with the cloak while shifting between BotBrs.
Tally Goggles - Allows BotBrs to view tally sheets for Major Battles.
Slide Gauntlet - Protects a BotBr from negative votes on their entries. For every vote under 3 the vote is replaced by a 3. The Criticist will see their vote has been altered and may thusly continue to recast their vote until the item breaks.
