Report #1113
Skillset: Celestialism Skill: Vestiphobia
 Org: Celestines Status: Rejected Apr 2013
Furies' Decision:
Rejected. We are not against deleting afflictions (and you could almost call us
willing), but we don't like the suggested replacements, which must very much the
theme of Razielan pacts.
Problem: Vestiphobia has almost no use as an affliction besides maybe aiding
theft. It has no place in any strategy or combat in general.
Solution #1: Replace Vestiphobia with Confusion.
Solution #2: Replace Vestiphobia with Daydreaming.
Solution #3:

I think it's unlikely that they will just delete vestiphobia, but you could just
suggest making it so that instead of throwing one's clothing to the ground, it
just unwears it (as if selfishness was up). Would seem to be a good idea.

Does Vestiphobia remove armour/greatrobes?

I don't think you'll ever use any of the afflictions you listed, making it kind
of pointless, but it's your report! Supported

I don't see how a Celestine would benefit from someone not wearing their robes
or armour. Also, I'm not asking for vestiphobia to be deleted, just replaced!

Vestiphobia might have its niche uses in group fights at the side of melee
types. Two things to consider: First off, the new affliction should fit into the
Raziela theme. I already found the introduction of disloyalty as a Japhiel
affliction a little strange. And secondly, if you're spending a report on this,
the suggested afflictions should serve a specific purpose in the arsenal of a
celestine. Confusion is overall a pretty good affliction, I'm not really seeing
the point of daydreaming, though. I'll make some suggestions after having a
closer look.

Vestiphobia, as Veyrzhul said, is something that IS useful for warriors as it
will increase the wounding they can dish out. Not all of your abilities have to
be useful just for you nor do they all have to be working towards your kill
method. I don't think this is a wise use of your report but I'm not going to
outright deny it. I'll wait to see what you attempt to replace it with for sure
before I say yay or nay.
