Report #121
Skillset: Healing Skill: Blood
 Org: Celestines Status: Completed Jan 2009
Furies' Decision:
There will be a separate skill in Healing made called 'flushing', costing 1p,
which will get rid of crotamine and powersap.
Problem: Curing crotamine or power sap is currently only possible on others
using sacrifice, which is very costly, and impossible on oneself
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Include the crotamine and power sap afflictions in
 the afflictions cured by Blood
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Create a seperate skill specifically for those two
 cures. This would probably be the best option if
 passive curing via an aura is for some reason not
 wished for

I can't imagine anyone caring about aura curing of these things given that
they're basically never encountered anyway, so ok with 1

Solution 2 is better. No thanks to completely negating Nekotai's only instakill.
---[Xiel on 1/9 @ 08:54 writes]:
Good suggestion. Didn't realize that a skill devoted entirely to healing would
be lacking a means of curing an affliction or two.
---[Xenthos on 1/10 @ 01:41 writes]:
I do think Nekotai use it a little bit, Nejii, but other than that it's not
encountered too much outside of charybdon.
---[Shuyin on 1/11 @ 03:58 writes]:
Sure
---[Nydekion on 1/11 @ 05:07 writes]:
Good with either suggestion, healing skills should probably be looked at in
general to make sure they cover the range of afflictions that can be dealt.
---[Nejii on 1/12 @ 08:41 writes]:
If healing isn't allowed to prevent affliction-based instakills...
---[Synl on 1/12 @ 16:26 writes]:
It's more that there is only one crotamine-based instakill (because let's face
it, actual crotamine doesn't kill anyone), and it's the only one available to a
single guild. Solution 2 all the way, woo.
---[Gregori on 1/13 @ 15:09 writes]:
Both look ok
---[Talkan on 1/13 @ 21:46 writes]:
I think solution one is perfectly fine. If auras stopping instakills were a
problem, you may as well delete breaks cause it may stop a sacrifice
---[Synl on 1/14 @ 01:14 writes]:
Well, see, with sacrifice, you see how the user will always have an alternative
instakill available (whether it be a Behead, Brainbash, or Wrack).
---[Nydekion on 1/14 @ 01:57 writes]:
Well, even if both are in an aura, you could just afflict with power sap before
the crotamine. That'd still give you a 50% chance the aura would cure the wrong
affliction and fail to stop the instakill.
