Report 921

Report #921
Skillset: Aeromancy Skill: Southwind/Miasma
 Org: Aeromancers Status: Completed Feb 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 2.
Problem: The Aeromancer demesne afflicts with a large amount of afflictions on
each tic. Further, half of these afflictions are masked, making curing more
difficult. This report seeks to both lower the total amount of afflictions,
lessen the effect of the masked nature with shared cures, and give a bit more
focus in the afflictions that the demesne gives out.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Change Southwind to these afflictions: Impatience,
 Anorexia, Masochism, Loneliness, Shyness. Change
 Miasma to do a small mana drain.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Change Southwind to these afflictions: Confusion,
 Hallucinations, Dementia, Stupidity, Paranoia. Change
 Miasma to do a small mana drain.

Miasma and Stupidity currently afflict with these afflictions:
http://pastebin.com/g4gP77yh. Southwind was chosen to be the afflicting effect
purely on aesthetics. Mana drain was chosen for Miasma as something thematically
appropriate, and hopefully not too impacting, but the specific effect can be
debated. Of note, Hallifax has no mana kill other than in Dreamweaving, and mage
Dreamweavers could use the help.

I'm more of a fan of Solution 2 than one, especially considering that Impatience
and Anorexia in conjunction with Telekinesis would be pretty strong, especially
as they'd be hidden affs, on top of the available hindering to Telekinesis.

Passive hidden anorexia for a guild with active throatlock and an org with tons
of aeon seems a little much.

Technically, they already have access to passive hidden anorexia, it's just
being chosen from a pretty large pool of afflictions.

So lowering the pool ups the chance- it doesn't really diminish the raised point
too much.

@Neos This is already possible. Impatience is in both lists and anorexia is in
one. Both lists are already hidden affs. I would further note that both lists
include only mental affs, so you just focus mind after the effects hit.
Currently, you get two mental affs every ten seconds, which combined with our
other effects, can cause exactly the sorts of problems you seem worried about.
I'm looking to get this changed to one mental aff, and a mana drain.
