Report #1197
Skillset: Wicca Skill: Pooka
 Org: Moondancers Status: Completed Jun 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: To use a Pooka, one must first let it get a lock on a target (which
happens on a regular timer and is stopped by shield, etc.) and then ORDER
<target> <thing>. Currently, the ORDER <person> <thing> bit is blocked by
shield. This is unnecessary, when the Pooka's attack to get the lock is blocked
by shield and other similar barriers (prism etc.), and makes little IC sense as
the attack is a telepathic one.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Make ORDER <target> <thing> go through
 shield/prism/etc.

As long as the pooka locked on before the shield went up then I have no
objection.
---[Enyalida on 6/4 @ 04:24 writes]:
Same, that's fine. As long as the pooka already gave you the power to command.
---[Asmodea on 6/4 @ 07:42 writes]:
You used to always be able to ORDER through a shield if the pooka had already
locked on unless that was changed. But anyways, I agree with Akyaevin, if the
pooka has locked on before the shield was raised, then I am fine with the actual
order going through the shield.

For clarity's sake, Pooka locking before shield goes up is what I intended
---[Rivius on 6/5 @ 00:13 writes]:
Agreed. I'm not sure why this isn't the case already when every other commanding
skill works through barriers.
---[Shuyin on 6/5 @ 02:17 writes]:
Sure

Rivius - it used to be the case that shields etc. didn't stop it, but got
changed, we don't know when, and given as bugging it hasn't lead to anything,
I'm assuming it's a design feature and therefore trying to get it changed this
way.

Sounds like a good change to me.

Reinstating this mechanic is fine.
