Report 1000

Report #1000
Skillset: Night Skill: Shadows
 Org: Ebonguard Status: Completed Feb 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Report 885 asked for released shadows to be returned to their "original
functionality". This original functionality included a check for both Night and
Crow to determine whether regeneration would be blocked. As noted in bug report
6227, the Crow end of this was lost when the stop-regeneration functionality was
reinstated. This has had the effect of turning released shadows into rather
more of a nuisance than they ever were to one's own organization (since it
affects everyone, not just enemies).
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Please return the check to not block regeneration of
 those who have selected Crow.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Instead, it might be better to thematically check if
 the person is a Nightwraith; released shadows
 affecting Nightwraiths is a bit strange.

I like the concept that it affects those who aren't "in touch with the
darkness," so that's why I do not include a solution to only have it affect
enemies. This way, either solution will still affect allies who are in other
organizations, leaving it as a skill that has some downsides to use. It is just
rather strange that they did not affect Crow users before, and do now- solution
2 is presented simply as a more thematically appropriate alternative.

Solution 1 or 2 is fine

I glanced at Report 885 and it appeared that mana regeneration was eliminated by
shadows. Is it just mana or all regeneration at this point?
---[Xenthos on 2/10 @ 18:32 writes]:
To my knowledge it is just mana regeneration, yes.
---[Xenthos on 2/10 @ 18:34 writes]:
Which is also thematically appropriate to me- shadows affecting health regen
doesn't seem to make much sense, but to be mentally taxing when they are thick
about you? Quite so, if you are not used to them!

I am fine with 1 or 2 then. I would want the report clarified to specify mana
regeneration only though.

I'm just asking that it continue doing what it does now, except that it should
no longer affect Crow users (or Nightwraiths, depending on choice picked). I'm
not sure what needs to be clarified though- it's not asking for a change on
functionality as far as what regen is blocked, just asking for it to not impact
people who are One with the Shadows.
