Report #1422
Skillset: Healing Skill: Succor
 Org: Moondancers Status: Completed Jan 2016
Furies' Decision:
Sol. 1
Problem: Currently, Succor gives the caster information on the Health and
diagnosis of the target. Healer Moondancers constantly make use of Succor to
track their target's afflictions and health during fighting, and for the case
when they want to track mana to toadcurse they use Discern or Contemplate with
Succor. The aim of this report is to improve the quality of life of Healer
Wiccans with the following suggestions:
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Allow information in Discernment Skills (Contemplate,
 Discern) to be added in Succor if the discernment
 skill is learned by the user. Perhaps the addition of
 a modifier as in SUCCOR [target]
 <contemplate/discern> to account for mana costs, from
 Lerad and Raeri's suggestions.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Allow information in Discernment Skills (Contemplate,
 Discern) to be added in Succor if the discernment
 skill is learned by the user. Toggle could be added
 to account for mana costs per Siam.

I don't see the harm in this, as all of these do not consume balance or
equilibrium and can be spammed in succession regardless.

Healer are hardly hurting in the quality of life department, but sure.
---[Rivius on 1/3 @ 01:51 writes]:
Sure. I don't see why not. Reduces some game spam, I imagine.
---[Lerad on 1/3 @ 03:21 writes]:
Contemplate and Discern both have mana costs. If they're going to be
automatically used, the mana costs should also be tacked on. Discern has a 250
mana cost, and contemplate 50. It's minor, of course, but I think it's important
for consistency.

Would suggest adding a [modifier] that's able to be tacked onto the end, costing
mana but adding the information from Discern to the output.
---[Tredian on 1/3 @ 12:04 writes]:
Thanks, will add those into the solution.
---[Siam on 1/4 @ 02:29 writes]:
A simpler solution would be for succor to provide those other information by
default if the player has the respective skills in discernment. A toggle would
still do nicely.
---[Yurika on 1/8 @ 12:42 writes]:
I would take Raeri's suggestion to tack on a modifier, but this is harmless and
I am fine with this.
---[Shuyin on 1/9 @ 05:26 writes]:
Sure
---[Jaamil on 1/10 @ 00:53 writes]:
Fine with it
---[Allehnon on 1/14 @ 17:08 writes]:
I am fine with it
---[Tredian on 1/17 @ 15:44 writes]:
I think a modifier is indeed the simpler one, toggles might be a bit messy.

I'm in favor of Solution 1.
