Report #832
Skillset: Crow Skill: Decoy
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed May 2012
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Decoy is an ability which is interesting but not particularly useful in
most cases-- as it is an active skill it does not work on things such as tumble,
leap, etc. so it is only applicable when you can walk out of the room normally
(at which point you would be able to just keep on running in that direction
anyways so you do not need to use it at all).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Add a new option to crow decoy, which allows you to
 CROW DECOY FLY-- this allows you to fly while making
 it look as if you just moved in a random direction
 (possibly reduce balance use to more easily avoid the
 FLYERS command).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Allow a command to let you CROW DECOY TUMBLE / CROW
 DECOY LEAP, which will show as if you are tumbling or
 leaping but in a different direction from the one you
 are doing (this leaves it active, but lets it work on
 other escape skills as well).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Solutions 1 and 2.

The last time I tried this, the return was 'We do not find this to be
necessary,' but when I requested more information I was told that it was more
that the solutions were not liked. Thus, I am trying it again.

Either or both solutions are fine. Decoy is very lackluster

That would be a pretty neat ability to have. Supported.

I'll note when I did this, Charge wasn't really clarified as to what the skill
was supposed to do-- so it would also be nice to append Charge to Solution #2 &
#3.

I'm alright with all of this except it working on tumble-like skills. On
Leap/Pogo/Fly, sure.

Both solutions supported.
