Report #1852
Skillset: Transmology Skill: Sing
 Org: Gaudiguch Status: Submitted Feb 2018
Problem: Fleshform Sing has recently been changed to a single target beckon,
which is great, however, it is blocked by all things that stop beckon as well as
summon resistance making it much harder to achieve a beckon.
[A:13 R: 0] Solution #1: Remove the summon resistance portion, keeping it
 blocked by only things that block beckoning.

If walls/block counter this I'm fine with summon resistance not. Supported under
that assumption

Walls/Block does stop it, Sing also works off Forced Movement Resist where
beckon works off Forced Action Resist. Sing, as a beckon, should follow the
latter as well.

As per Ianir, apparently beckon is blocked by forced action resistance rather
than forced movement resistance. The only thing that gives this is Trueheart
currently. I could see this getting that check too just for consistancy (and
future proofing in case more things get added to that check).

I'm in favour of making Transmology Sing comparable to beckon, or at least as
useful and accessible. If that description fits Solution 1 then I'm in full
support.

@Yarith: That is correct. Currently, Sing is blocked by everything that blocks
beckon + summoning resistance. Making it ignore summoning resistance would make
it work exactly like beckon does now. Sol 1, please.

Aye, comparability seems reasonable.
