Report #1524
Skillset: Night Skill: Longnight
 Org: Shadowdancers Status: Completed Sept 2016
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: With our current population in both communes, the skill of Longnight is
under utilised. It can never be used because there are never enough night users
on hand to meet the 13 people requirement. This report has been refitted to
reflect previous comments.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Lower the coven requirement to 7. The number 7 is
 significant to Nocht, as it is a part of His shrouds.

Under its original implementation (blocking all power abilities), this would not
have been acceptable. The skill allowed for unbreakable demesnes in the entire
area, and absolutely required the high cap that it had to limit its use (the few
times that we managed to pull it off, it was hated so much that the skill itself
was changed). Now it just doubles the cost of all power abilities, so it seems
reasonable to lower the member requirement to something more appropriate for its
current power strength.

Longnight requires actual Night users, not just Nightwraiths, correct?

This is probably fine. The big thing it did before was give choke users a
massive advantage, as it more or less shut out their enemies but did zilch to
night users themselves. It will still generally advantage night users, but they
can no longer totally lock down a target with such a low powercost so it doesn't
need to be quite as onerous.

If it ends up being OP, the effect itself can be toned down. This change will
somewhat help eliminate feast-or-famine mechanics, a good thing.

Longnight affects everyone - it doubles the power cost for everyone. The only
advantage Nightusers have is they choose when to use it. Sol 1 supported
