Report #884
Skillset: Artisan Skill: Miniatures
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed Sept 2012
Furies' Decision:
We will modify this idea into an arena attachment.
Problem: Artisan does not have a skill to directly deal with miniatures-- it can
create a one-time fighting ring, but any number of people can utilize one ring,
leaving Artisans with little to contribute to miniatures. Beyond that,
Tinkering Repair is an ability which can only be used by the tinkerer when they
are in the room and is extremely potent (as a miniature can be repaired after
every single battle), which means it can't be sold or distributed to others and
creates a large gap between tinkerers and all others.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Create a new ability in Artisan, "Bulwark" (or
 Bracing / something of that sort). This requires 1
 gold / silver / platinum / marble, and is attached to
 a figurine. When the figurine is defeated in battle,
 it only loses half the decay-time that it would
 otherwise. *Note: A miniature with this cannot be
 repaired using tinkering Repair.

I've spoken with some tinkerers who very much like the functionality that the
current tinkering repair ability gives. This report is intended to leave that
as-is (and more powerful than the new option) while closing a very significant
gap between tinkerers and the rest of the playerbase.

Makes sense, Solution 1 supported.

Sure.

Opposed. I don't see an issue with having to hire people of different trades to
do things - in fact I think it's one of the good things about figurines that no
one person can do everything for them.

With the fact that tinkering provides a massive boost to the ability to level
figurines, (11 figurines with a tinker's assistance got me a L29 figurine, which
would've been L31 but for a misweave) offering something that doesn't require
the repeated repairs with each battle would be nice. Supported.
