I have thought long and hard about this and I think they should give you a limited buff until you die. and maybe you can be a SKELETON! now you could any of the skeletons in the game except gold though because you would be under water. imagine stealthing onto a boat as a shadow skeleton at night! heck maybe you can be a mermaid I don't know im just sayin this would be my favorite update to the game if it happens.
MERMAID STATUES SHOULD GIVE YOU CURSES!!!

A novel idea. I would like you to expand on this idea a bit. Like why would mermaid statues turn you into a skelly? So far the lore says that curse comes from Flamehearts crew. The mermaid curse is suppose to turn sailors into mermaids or thats whats been speculated thus far. I do think the statues need more of a use thou. Also a great way to flesh out the mermaids curse.
@enf0rcer ok then. mermaid curse could maybe make you a mermaid when you touch water and could swim as fast as a boat or something. the effect is increased drastically when a red mermaid statue is broken. maybe there could be a statue of captain flameheart that turns you into a skeleton too.
@enf0rcer maybe there could be different types of mermaids you could be too but maybe that's a bad idea
@dud3rdude How bout destroying the statues gives you the curse and the buff you get could not only swim faster but allow to breath underwater for a short duration? With the blue ones giving you a minor buff while the red gives you a significant buff. This could open up more underwater exploration and chances for finding loot with statues acting as becons for underwater activites.
@enf0rcer maybe even the 3 types of mermaid statues represent the 3 stages of mermaid transformation. and maybe with the effect you can sword dash underwater.

@enf0rcer that would be awesome but would it replace your sword?
Yes it would transform your sword into a trident and etheir turn your gun into a blowfish dart or put the trident into a firing mode that shoots magic or something.
How about having the mermaids curse one of your crew and when they are cursed the compass shows the path to a cursed treasure hoard, the cursed player would then have to guide the rest of the crew to where this hoard is hidden somewhere in the world by letting them know the way the compass is pointing.
And this will give you a use for that showing someone else your compass thing!
@musicmee but I feel like that would be a good idea for a sunken bottle type thing where only one player can pick it up

While i like the idea of the compass type voyage i don't think it fit themematically with a Mermaid curse. I mean sure mermaids did seem to hoard loot, but why would a curse lead you to treasure?
A curse is suppost to be an infliction placed upon those who are to be judged. A punishment if you will. There would need to be some negtive effect on the victim.@enf0rcer Was just throwing it out there... maybe the curse is like snake venom where it keeps hurting you until you reach the cursed treasure - so you have to stock up on those bananas if you want to make it!
@musicmee ok not bad. I'm thinkin you may have somthing. How bout this. You find a statue right. The person who destroys a statue gets cursed. It. starts a hard timer the infected then has to lead the crew underwater to find both the cure and loot. The infected cannot leave the water to walk on land a will take damage for keeping his head above water forcing him to give directions to his crew. If they fail they will be stuck as a mermaid till etheir they die or find and destroy another statue. The harder the statue the hard the mission. Thoughts?
