Report #444
Skillset: Shofangi Skill: Boganj
 Org: Shofangi Status: Completed Feb 2011
Furies' Decision:
Momentum will not increase of Boganj used (Solution 3 without the dropping)
Problem: The use of boganj on a limb with a cracked kneecap causes the limb to
break, and if done on the legs, prones. This can lead to a situation where we
can keep somebody prone eternally. When a non-standard form is used, the prone
from one form can easily reach 11 seconds for 2mo loss, more than enough time to
regain this.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Change Cracked Kneecap to not prone when it is
 applied to a limb with the affliction already.
 Perhaps remove limb break from this as well.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Up the cost of boganj by 125, forcing a pronelock
 form to require 5mo.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Have the use of boganj in a form prevent momentum
 gain, and the use of it twice in a form drop by 1mo.

No to solution 1, as it would unnecessarily also affect AL.

I like solution 3, but I don't think the second clause is necessary. Just make
kneecaps suspend momentum gain whether you use two or one.

It would be necessary in order to fix the 'keep someone permanently prone' part
of the problem, no?

Most likely. I personally don't support solution two because it just delays it
for one momentum. Solution one will, while taking that capability away from
bonecrushers and axelords, kill our ability to do it completely. The third
solution will likely discourage the use of it because of the sustaining, and
possibly the loss of momentum. However, I think I agree with Fillin here about
sustaining be enough.
