Report 1272

Report #1272
Skillset: Poisons Skill: Inyoka/Mellitin
 Org: Illuminati Status: Completed Mar 2015
Furies' Decision:
Sol. 3
Problem: The overhaul has changed inyoka to do paranoia (aleutian already
afflicts with paranoia) and Mellitin currently does nothing. This needs to be
addressed.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Replace Inyoka's effect with hallucinations. Inyoka
 previously afflicted with dizziness, so I am
 interested in preserving the poison's intent to do a
 mental aff. The other available mental affs are
 addiction/confusion/epilepsy, which are probably far
 too powerful an effect for a poison.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Replace Mellitin's effect with dysentery. Mellitin
 previously afflicted with weakness, so I am
 interested in keeping the aff's intent to mess with
 the body (now your bowels are weak!). The other
 available internal affs are scabies/rigormortis,
 which are even less appropriate for the purposes of
 this report.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Both 1 and 2.

Information dump per Ieptix (I am interested in envoying vomiting to be more
unique as an aff and to help BC's some with the change to vomitblood) -
DYSENTERY - 2.5s eq loss every 8 seconds, VOMITING - 25% chance of 1s EQ +
damage loss every 7.5s, as well as a 10% chance for the same effect on bal/eq
loss, EPILEPSY - 3.5s tick, with random 2-3s eq loss

Commenting here as a reminder of the discussion on envoys that they timers for
the first tics will be looked into. :)

Something that I feel needs to be said here is: Both of these changes will make
the poisons -much- more useful than their current version. Note that Inyoka can
be used on a FinsFetish, and Mellitin can be used on a StingerFetish, which
would provide a potentially strong addition to an ecologist's saplock. Both of
the current afflictions that are being replaced are essentially worthless,
whereas the replacements will actually have some (situational) use. These are
things that should definitely be considered and discussed before just simply
doing the change.

That said, these are the -weakest- replacement options available, so it's
difficult to come up with a decent alternative. I just wanted to make sure that
these concerns were raised!
