Scripted Consecration

Playing a paladin for a bit and running across all manner of items with descriptions like "Bleeds black tears" and Evil Only items and such, I was wondering if it may be possible to implement a method of using consecration to destroy these items for flavor? Perhaps it may even be an extremely difficult proposition, but be worth doing for some experience?

My suggestion would be to use consecration in some format, possibly at a placeable/container designed for such, to destroy evil items. I'd furthermore suggest that the check be high, possibly something like the combined consecration value+cleric levels+cha mod of the amount of players around this placeable. I believe the reward for doing so, outside of roleplay, could be something like 10-50 experience judging from the level and cost of the item, kind of like UMD.

I apologize if this has been suggested before, or shot down because of some coding difficulties. But I thought it might add another entertaining level of complexity to playing on the Good side of things.

I would love to see something like the Pallid Mask had where good only PCs (and maybe neutral) could destroy evil relics and get a small reward in potions or loot.

Divine slot machine!

Would'nt that have to work with good items and desecration, and lawful and chaos etc? Sounds complicated. And the Loot dispensary sounds lol. Perhaps we leave this as a skill to be used with DMs like most other skills.

I'm not asking for any real benefit of the skill, just another way to roleplay destroying items, which is typically a cleric using turn undead, and then throwing it in a trash bin. It would be something that is most certainly not worth a DM's time, but of some legitimate concern to a paladin or priest. I see no reason for it not to work in reverse, for evil aligned players, by the same token.

Some of us also use Hammer of the Gods/Flame Strike, then throw it into the trash bin. :)

Regardless, if it is feasible, some scripted manner of disposing of evil (and good, for those evil clerics out there) relics without the aid of a DM would be a very interesting addition.

Need more DM quests where you delve into the giant dump where every disposed item goes. That was fun.
