Report #761
Skillset: Wicca Skill: Barghest
 Org: Shadowdancers Status: Completed Jun 2012
Furies' Decision:
Barghests will only affect the person they are aggressive against. If the target
is deaf, instead of paralysis, there will be a 50% chance to stun for 1 second.
Problem: Barghest deals out paralysis to all undeaf enemies in the room.
Shadowdancers have access to Night Scourge to afflict with blindness and to
strip truehearing. However, the room effect of barghest is underwhelming
considering Scourge is a targeted ability at a 3-second equilibrium, and unlike
Blanknote for bards, it does not deal earache to hinder re-consumption of
earwort.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Have barghest affect only the person it is aggressive
 to, and remove the undeaf requirement for it to
 afflict with paralysis.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Give the barghest a 50% chance to afflict if the
 target is deaf, and a 100% chance if the target is
 undeaf.

Note that this report has the removal of Night Choke in mind.

Solution 1, or a mixture of the above (i.e. barghest functions as currently, but
will have a 50% chance to afflict the person its aggressive to if they're deaf.
- or a variation thereof)
