Report #180
Skillset: Beastmastery Skill: Beastmaster
 Org: Blacktalon Status: Completed Apr 2009
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: The transcendant skill allows you to temporarily imbue one beastmastery
ability for one hour out of every month. This problem lies with waiting until
the month is over, especially at the beginning of a month. It is a very long
period of time whereas you have little control over what day of the month it is
at any given point
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Increase the frequency that the transcendant ability
 may be used each month from once per month to three
 times per month.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Change the way this ability works completely. Instead
 of a set and standard one hour time, allow the user
 to imbue an ability in the following ways. If the
 imbued ability is active, allow the ability to be
 imbued for 1-10 power, the number of power
 corresponding to the number of times that beast may
 be ordered to use the imbued ability. If the ability
 is passive, then allow the ability to imbued for 1-10
 power, the number of power expended corresponding
 with a duration of time that the passive ability will
 remain in effect. The ratio for converting power to
 duration can be as small as two power per day (or 1
 power=half a day) to five power per day (10 power
 would last two days). If necessary, can still
 restrict the number of times beastmastery imbue may
 be used within a month. If not restricted, multiple
 imbuing would not stack. Also, imbuing an ability a
 second time would erase the first imbue and become
 the new application of it.

You stated the restrictions of the skill but can you elaborate on why you think
they should be changed?

It's a transcendant skill that pretty much is about as useful as Autumn in low
magic. It definitely deserves to be used with greater frequency for the cost to
trans.

I meant to add that Autumn is not a transcendant ability
---[Llandros on 4/23 @ 14:33 writes]:
Ahh, well being able to imbue the learned skill into a mount several times a
month would be pretty reasonable for this ability

I have always felt that beastmaster was not worthy of being a trans skill for
beastmastery and, sure enough, a lot of people don't even bother to trans
because beastmaster is so limited. I think solution 2 would be powerful enough
to justify beastmaster as the trans skill.
