Report #84
Skillset: Sacraments Skill: Sacrifice
 Org: Celestines Status: Rejected Nov 2008
Furies' Decision:
Please roll this into the overall Sacraments report.
Problem: Sacrificing requires the death of one for the life of another. It
requires 10p for non sacraments users and 1p for a sacrament user. It still
drains 10p on death, of course. However, conglutination, the transcendent skill
in planar is null and voided by a sacrifice. This is severly imbalanced. One who
has spent 300 credits for conglute should not be hampered by the third to last
skill in Sacraments which is equally costly. It's unfair and illogical
Solution #1: Conglute works after sacrificing

Sure

I agree that congluting should work.

Sounds ok

Planar conglute should work, I agree; off plane combat is supposed to be easy on
the xp. However, org conglut (like in Celest and claimed villages) should not,
as this would allow you to bring a soul back to home territory for minimal xp
loss (org conglut is even less loss than planar conglut) on prime even if they
died, say, in enemy territory.

Are you saying that if someone dies and walks back to New Celest, the sacrificer
should not conglute, despite conglute working in any other situation? Or, are
you saying that if you sacrifice outside of New Celest you can simply walk back
into New Celest as a soul and receive a free conglute. Surely you're not saying
the latter, and if you're saying the former, I disagree on mere formality as any
sacrifice should be subject to a conglutination simply because it follows suite

It would follow suit in a superficial manner, yes, but planar conglut and org
conglut, despite their similarities, are two different things and affect
sacrifice in two different ways for the reasons already described. To clarify a
little, when you're off plane, you conglut anywhere off plane, and it's pretty
much an all over tiny xp-loss freeforall; but when you're on prime, you get a
special conglut only in very limited areas. Sacrifice working with this special
conglut would allow you to basically manipulate the death into home territory by
moving the soul there and performing the sacrifice there.
