Report 471

Report #471
Skillset: Pyromancy Skill: None
 Org: Pyromancers Status: Rejected Sept 2010
Furies' Decision:
We do not find this to be necessary.
Problem: During the Pyromancy/Aeromancy special report, Pyromancy received a
series of downgrades that while needed, both went too far in making burn levels
harder to accumulate, as well as leaving the demesne without any solid
hindering. While passive regeneration cures were too much, a lesser salve cure
could be used to resolve this issue.
Solution #1: Return Wildfires as a meld effect. Instead of its prior function,
 make it break legs and add burns. This would address both the
 difficulty in getting anywhere with burns, as well as the lack of
 any movement hindering in the demesne.

With the prior month's envoy report to propose a passive stun for your meld and
your adding in a passive break legs now, you're venturing too far into just flat
out copying Geomancy. And another salve-based cure for an affliction is not
something I'm fond of giving Pyromancers more since you already give passive
slickness to hinder curing on top of the choice of curing either the burn levels
which lead to your instakill or the ablaze/black lung/active hinders you already
do. No thank you.

Agree with Viynain. When I mentioned giving pyros broken leg/sprawl on your last
report, I meant you should get either that -or- stun. Both would be overpowered.

That said, if they end up rejecting the last one, I'd be fine with this.

I would be fine with just sprawling and burn levels, but not breaking legs as
well.

The Firerain report got approved, so I'd like to restate that adding this in
would just make it even more of a Geomancy clone - an option most other folk
don't agree with, I believe.
