Heck, decay could be even easier than that, and is already programmed in,
and even has a feature that would make you guard your pet very carefully.
As I'm sure everyone knows, you cannot zone with a pet, the pet 32k's This
would mean you would have to re-deploy the pet on the other side of the
zone. Just make the pet have charges, thus decay, when all charges are
gone, so is your pet. On a different line, you would have to pick up your
pet before zoning (dangerous if running from a train) or you would loose it
as it would 32k. If the pet is destroyed in battle, then you loose the pet
permanently, including all parts. Obviously, going LD would be bad, but
hey, that makes this even more interesting to Verant as a money sink right.

Simple.
1. Fine Steel Longsword (Item ID#123) undergoes a decay thru a check
after a
successful hit
2. A message is propagated, "Your Fine Steel Longsword has been
damaged"
3. The Fine Steel Longsword is replaced, as in a Combine button
operation with
A Damaged Fine Steel Longsword (Item ID#1230)
To repair:
1. Place A Damaged Fine Steel Longsword (Item ID#1230) and a sharpening
stone in
a forge with a file and a flask of water
2. Skill check succeeds Item ID#1230 is replaced with Item ID#123
No columns needed to be added to the database record for item 123.
Yes code needed to be added to check to see if decay occurred and to
propagate the result of that decay.

If you don't keep track of it, then how are you going to know when it
decays?
Item decay is something that would have to have been planned from the very
start. It's not something that you can just patch in.
