Report #299
Skillset: Ninjakari Skill: Ashlamkh
 Org: Ninjakari Status: Completed Dec 2009
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1
Problem: The Ninjakari skill, Ashlamkh, is the action used to break and mangle
limbs. In order to mangle, it requires the limb to already be broken. On top of
that, it costs 500 ka and drops momentum by one level, whether it breaks or
mangles. This is excessive.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Change the ka requirement from 500ka to 350ka,
 keeping the broken limb requirement and one momentum
 loss per break and mangle.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Leave the ka requirement as is, and remove the broken
 limb requirement.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Change the ka requirement from 500ka to 400ka, remove
 the broken limb requirement, and have momentum fall
 by two levels if limb gets mangled.

My preference is with solution 1.

Ashlamkh has looked odd since the mod --> action conversion for ninjakari. I
believe previously as a mod it cost 500 ka. That 500 ka would apply to the
entire form so to mangle it'd cost a minimum of 650 ka (mod + 2 jakari). Now
it's 500 ka -per action-, meaning a minimum of 1000 ka to mangle. If the cost
was supposed to be maintained (perhaps it wasn't), it would be 325 ka per
ashlamkh action.

I've not tested anything here mind you, but looking at the skill, solution 1
doesn't seem out of the question. 500 ka + momentum loss for a break seems
steep, cost wise.
