Skillset: Ecology Skill: Familiarsting
 Org: Hartstone Status: Completed Jun 2009
Furies' Decision:
Allow 10 applications. Change to target individuals rather than enemies. In
fangfetish, replace ibululu with dulak.
Problem: Currently familiarsting is a 3p skill that afflicts with up to 5 venoms
to enemies in the room, when activated. The problem is it doesn't. It is a 3p
skill that picks an enemy (it appears to pick the first enemy on 'who here') and
then attacks them and only them. The only way to specify who you want to sting
is to unenemy all, enemy target, bond sting, enemy everyone else again. This
compounded with the limited amount of poison you can use on top of the cost of
the skill is a major drawback.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Allow the ecologist to bond sting <enemy> as well as
 use a full application (40) of poisons.

Wow, what a terrible skill. You have my heartfelt support for a considerable
upgrade, but I'd like to make one stipulation: you shouldn't be able to use it
with ibululu (sensitivity) or else it'd be quite possible to time it with
deathsong so that ibululu would hit and strip deafness the instant before
deathsong resolves. If I'm not mistaken, fetish stinging has restrictions on
what poisons are usable with it, so this would be nothing unfamiliar to ecology.
