Report #820
Skillset: Veneration Skill: None
 Org: Paladins Status: Rejected May 2012
Furies' Decision:
The cult is a bond between one Avatar and their god - not many avatars. We don't
mind reviewing individual requirements, and lowering as necessary, but the
solutions as a whole are not appropriate.
Problem: Some abilities in Veneration have a higher Member Requirement when the
Cult leader is not using it. While this is a good way to allow other Cult
members to use the abilities, it is often too restrictive. Furthermore, Avatars
(besides the Cult leader) do not play much of a role within a Cult.
Solution #1: To solve both of these problems, allow other Avatars to have the
 same Member Requirement as the Cult leader. For each member short
 of the normal requirements, the Avatar has to spend an extra 5%
 Cult essence. (For example, an Avatar would be able to use
 TrueSermon for 35000 + 5250 essence.)
Solution #2: Allow the Cult leader to set the Member Requirement for all
 abilities.

The problem with Solution 2 of course being that the Cult leader would
immediatly set all member requirements to 1. I don't like solution 1
thematically, and doubt that the furies will either.

The only abilities affected are BenevolentEmanations, MalevolentEmanations,
SolemnCall, HymnicChoir, PiousSacrifice, Portal, DivineSupper, Presence, and
TrueSermon. With the exception of Portal (maybe), I don't think any of these are
powerful enough that it would be a problem if the Cult leader decides to set it
to the minimum. On the other hand, Solution #2 was more aimed at also allowing
the increase of Member Requirement for abilities that anyone can use.

I actually like Solution #1 thematically. Avatars have a closer bond to their
Divine so they should have a bigger role within a Cult than an ordinary member.

I am also intrigued by solution 1, and would fully support that idea.

Solution 1 is fine with me

I am fine with Solution 1 as well.

I really like the first solution. Supported.
