Report 1654

Special Report #1654
Skillset: Kata Skill: Angkai
 Org: Nekotai Status: Rejected Dec 2007
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1 already sort of done, other two don't make sense. Rejecting.
Problem: Based on discussions on the forums, there is a need to limit monks'
access to the dust-hindering affs, specifically paralysis and blindness. For
Nekotai, blindness is aleady on a centre-and-higher action. I'll either swap it
on the surge-and-higher action, or replace it with another dust affliction.
Solution #1: Change angkai head to give damagedthroat. Change angkhai head to
 give blindness. Sprongma requirements should change accordingly.
Solution #2: Change angkai head to give dysentery instead. (Optional: Also
 swap angkai head and angkai leg effects, for thematic purposes)
Solution #3: Change angkai head to give pox instead. (Optional: Also swap
 angkai head and angkai leg effects, for thematic purposes)

The perma-blindness against nekotai already is a thing, so no to solution #1
would just worsen that. Not supporting #1. Solution 2 and solution 3 seem
alright on first glance.

2 or 3 is fine

2 or 3 works.

Agree with 2 and 3 as well.

As a note, solution 1 won't "worsen" the scenario - angkhai is surge locked,
while angkai is centre locked. Swapping places means a Nekotai can only blind at
surge - which I feel is fine. But of course, solutions 2 and 3 are also fine. As
a note, this report is sort of rolled into 1672 already, but in case 1672 is not
approved, this should be considered on its own merits.
