Report #1184
Skillset: Wildewood Skill: Vines
 Org: Hartstone Status: Completed Aug 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 2.
Problem: Druids who choose the Wilde(or Wyrden-)wood path instead of druidry
have a few abilities in Nature that require the presence of a forest, but no
power to create forest terrain. This report seeks to add functionality back to
those skills for -woods.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Have -woods count as dryads in their room. This will
 create a tree terrain in their room, cause blended
 characters moving into the -wood's room to be
 shrouded, will allow the use of nature vines, and
 will allow wisping as appropriate.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Allow -woods to use the vines attack regardless of
 terrain, the vines coming from their own body.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3:

1 sounds good to me, I'd go with solution 1

Either solution is acceptable.

Solution 1 actually sounds pretty good.

Supported.

Solution #1 and #2 supported. I like the idea and flavour of Solution #1.

Supporting solution 1.
---[Kio on 8/13 @ 21:06 writes]:
Definitely solution 2. Solution 1 seems a little sketchy.
---[Xenthos on 8/17 @ 15:11 writes]:
Solution 2 is the one that makes thematic sense. Solution 1 is weird- for
example, if you are a Wyrdenwood, your -entire team- can now be wisped from an
unforested room into a forested one (because their presence makes the tree).
Only way for your allies to remove it is to kill their own teammate or get rid
of them somehow. Or a Hartstone could walk in and use the vines from the
Wyrdenwood's branches to web a Wyrdenwood's allies. Just too many weird
situations that could be enabled with solution 1.

Obviously it would require the right tree-type being in the wisper's location
for the wisping part of it, but such things can indeed be done.
---[Enyalida on 8/20 @ 21:08 writes]:
Yes, the wisping problem was one that bothered me, as a downside to having your
room count. It also would add a tree-level... which is not benefical for the
-wood, who has a harder time managing multiple terrain levels than normal races
(of most classes). However, Solution 1 would be most interesting, if the bumps
were smoothed over somehow.
