Report #474
Skillset: Necromancy Skill: Lich
 Org: Cacophony Status: Completed Sept 2010
Furies' Decision:
RENOUNCE UNDEATH added.
Problem: In enemy territory, with lich up, you currently lose more experience
(4mil vs. 2mil) instead of less (making it a liability). However, without lich
we lose out on all the construct benefits.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: After liching, the user should have 2.5 minutes of
 grace (enough time to cubix out of distort).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Make BlackCrypt (the construct) benefits apply to all
 citizens, not just undead.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Add a syntax to get rid of a lich seed.

Since liches don't immediately reform, that period of time they have to get out
of a territory is enough of a grace period they get without adding regular Grace
on top of it. I've no problem with the third solution.

Nah, you're not going to be able to move out of enemy planes as a soul. If it's
nexus distorted and your team is wiping, a lich seed is basically a nice
guarantee that you'll get the enemy territory loss * 2.

Sounds like an ideal argument for the third solution. The suggested Grace of the
first is unneeded.

Solution 3. Wouldn't mind something like this for transmigration as well.

Maybe vitae too?
---[Talan on 9/19 @ 16:40 writes]:
I didn't think vitae because the only reason you would use it is to resurrect,
whereas with lich/deepbond you have to make yourself subject to resurrecting to
get their other benefits.

Exactly right.

Solution 3

You can move just fine out of EthGlom / EthSeren as a soul, by the way. That
said, Dark Spirit already has a way to get rid of it for us, so it wouldn't be a
bad thing to let other types get rid of theirs too. No grace, though.

Ah, 'kay. Solution 3, woo.
