Report #983
Skillset: Skill: Sprinting/Pacing
 Org: Harbingers Status: Rejected Nov 2012
Furies' Decision:
We do not like the idea of giving this ability to everyone as we like the fact
it is a useful utility skill for Stag users only.
Problem: Pacing is an ability available to Stag Totem users which allows people
to keep up with the sprinting done by people they're following. This report
would basically just like it to be accessible to more people because it's such a
useful little ability.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Add an ability into the Acrobatics skill called
 'Hasten' which grants the following powers of Pacing
 but not the increased difficulty to LOSE the person.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Add an ability into the Athletics skill called
 'Striding' which grants the following powers of
 Pacing but not the increased difficulty to LOSE the
 person.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Both solutions 1 and 2.

Given names are just suggestions for potential options that vaguely fit the
skill themes, I'm more than happy for people to come up with better ones! :D

Pacing also has the (not terribly useful) feature of making it harder to lose
the pacing person using the LOSE command. Would that be copied over into this
ability as well?

Interesting, I didn't realise it had that. Ideally no, I literally just want the
'you can follow people when they sprint' bit of it.

This is fine without the LOSE buff Enyalida mentioned

SUPPORT 1 or 3

Supported.

I have altered the solutions to reflect that we are not seeking the increased
lose difficulty.

Supported. Pointing out solution 3 would extend the utility to all Warriors,
Bards, and Acro Monks (which is not a bad thing). I infer that the skill would
work with all sprint-like actions like Psymet Glide and Beastmastery Gallop.
Curious to know if pacing currently follows Psymet Glide across watery terrains.

I would extend the ability to passively follow someone who is using speed
movement to those who have a surfboard or galloping in beastmastery and are
mounted.

Solution 3 please!
