Report #1056
Skillset: Skill: Flying
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed Apr 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 2. As a note, it is intended that if you are going somewhere with
extreme weather, you may want to consider finding a shaman to help you.
Problem: High winds prevent flight entirely- try to take off, and you get the
message that the strong winds are too powerful for you to do so. However, this
creates an annoying problem when it is considered that many quests -require
people to fly- if they want to do said quest. Above and beyond that, it begins
at the following stage of wind strength: "Stormy winds blow powerfully through
the environs." So it's not uncommon for a storm blowing through to just block
out quests for hours (or even days!) at a time.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Allow people to fly into heavy winds. Attempting to
 take off would be a 10s channeled action (you cannot
 perform any action or it ends the process- there is a
 lot of concentration required to fight the winds!)
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: If you want it to be more limited, add solution 1 as
 a functionality to the Brooch of the Tempest instead
 (because it would make sense at the very least for
 that artifact to have some impact upon high winds).

I prefer giving this to everyone, but I can see wanting to make it feel like
high winds are detrimental and thus restricting it to an artifact over-ride.
That choice is up to the Administration, but having some way to get into the
skies would be extraordinarily nice. High winds already slows movement speed
down, and a channeled action to get up ensures that you're not doing this in a
Shaman's demesne (just a wee bit suicidal to turn off your curing, and any
hindering action like web would obviously stop it from finishing).
