Report #1017
Skillset: Shamanism Skill: Fierceweather

Furies' Decision:
Solution 2. Hailstorms will still hide exits.
Problem: While snowstorms hide the map and exits, lowering the temperature low
enough instead produces hail, which hits all in its range with minor damage
(~200, undeffed) every ~40-70 seconds, and does not hide the map or exits.
Logically, conditions that involve worse and more fierce weather condition
should provide equal or greater effects than more neutral weather conditions,
but in this case 'upgrading' the severity of the weather from a snowstorm to a
hailstorm negates the weather effect.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Those subject to FierceWeather (ordinarily, only
 enemies) and in range of normal demesne effects will
 have magical shields shattered by hailstones when
 hit, every 12 seconds.

Er, passive shield breaking is a no go. Opposed. Maybe another option.

Why can't you just have hailstorms add the map/exit hiding effect as well
instead of asking for passive shieldbreaking in a meld with allergies and sap?
We can also look into increasing the effect of the actual hail too

Opposed. Passive shield breaking like that would wreck group combat

As above, passive shield breaking opposed. Adding map/exit hiding supported.

Rather unnecessary.
