Report 1563

Report #1563
Skillset: Skill: AB
 Org: Shadowdancers Status: Completed Nov 2016
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Overall, for the quality of life - Allow the ability to AB skills you
have that are dormant.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Allow the ability as described above for dormant
 skills only.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: In addition to solution 1, consider supporting an
 additional solution from report 1561.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Allow the ability to AB any skillset, whether or not
 you possess the skill. This would benefit everyone.

I'm supporting of solutions 1 and 2. Solution 3, however, feels like it goes in
the mechanics versus lore argument. While you can easily go to xieltalnara or
the wiki to obtain information about any skillset you have a question on, doing
so is something you have to do outside of the game, whereas inside the game you
would suddenly be able to find yourself (just stepping out of the portal of
fate) with knowledge of the entirety of the Basin's skillset. Would this also
extend to the Veneration abilities? I'm much more content in the idea that you
could have knowledge of skills you trained under, so unless it's changed, I
believe I am fully against sol.3

Solution 3. The information about all the ABs can, or could/should, be readily
available on the wiki, but this requires players and admin to manually update
them and so are often outdated or unavailable. More information for players is a
good thing, not a bad thing. I don't agree with this mechanics vs lore argument.
ABs are for the most part OOC by nature. Most of them just talk about the
mechanics with very little flavour and while my character doesn't know how to
actually use/cast most skills, he'd still be able to tell you more than a novice
with no experience who just picked up the skills for the first time. Lusternia
is far behind any of the other IREs when it comes to AB information transparency
and while there might be technical reasons for it, I don't believe that "lore"
is a valid factor.

I agree with Falmiis here. Solution 3 is the way to go but I support all
solutions.
