Report #164
Skillset: Crow Skill: DarkRebirth
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed Apr 2009
Furies' Decision:
Eggs for others decay in 5 months instead of 1, and making a new egg wipes the
other.
Problem: DarkRebirth was given the ability to "create an egg" for another
person. However, this suffers from the same restraints as the Construct egg--
it lasts 24 hours, if it gets lost/stolen/fallen in an area where it can't be
retrieved, you can't get another until it decays. And it further has the
restriction of having to find a Crow user, a good chunk of carrion from the nest
(which limits how many can be made at once). Beyond that, the AB says that Crow
users should be able to prepare one of these alternate eggs for themselves, but
this no longer works with the recent fix to prevent non-Crow users from having
more than one egg. All of this combines to make an extremely unwieldy skill
that rarely gets used, especially when the alternative is Vitae (most of the
same benefits without any of the hassle).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Remove decay from the egg, and make it so when a new
 egg is created for a person the previous egg they had
 instantly decays (there is still a 10p cost and 25
 carrion for creating this new one). Further, allow
 Crow users to make one of these carryable eggs for
 themselves again, along with the egg in the nest.

This should hopefully ease the restrictions enough for the skill to be more
useful, while still having more restrictions (same power cost + carrion &
finding a Crow user who has that carrion in their nest) over Vitae.
