Report #29
Skillset: Skill: Gas
 Org: Ur'Guard Status: Rejected Aug 2008
Furies' Decision:
It makes no RP sense to treat the gas separately. We will update the AB on the
protection scroll to reflect this.
Problem: There is a flaw with the viscanti racial ability BREATHE POISON.
Announce post 421 announced that protection scrolls were changed to block
Geomancy demesne poison clouds. Apparently, this also caused the viscanti poison
clouds to be blocked by protection scrolls (which are meant to block demesne
effects only). Since viscanti in any guild but Geomancers (assuming only
Magnagoran guilds) have no way to strip the protection defense, their racial
ability can be completely negated.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Make the viscanti poison gas ability create a
 different class of poison cloud. This would
 differentiate it from Geomancy poison clouds and
 allow it to bypass the protection scroll defense
