Skillset: Crow Skill: Nestcall
 Org: Blacktalon Status: Completed Nov 2012
Furies' Decision:
Solution 3 at 5 power.
Problem: Nestcall in Crow requires 5p and 5 carrion and lasts 5 minutes. It also
has a long equilibrium cost (~12 seconds), which takes time off its active
usefulness (to 4 mins 48 secs). It is a skill that is used for a variety of
things (spying with eyes, regenerating health/mana, feeding on carrion for
carrion skills, etc) that must be done in one's nest. The cost of Nestcall is
prohibitive to maintain for any significant period of time, which is often
required. As well as this, there is no way to send the nest away
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Raise power cost for Nestcall to 10p and 5 carrion.
 Maintain equilibrium cost at 12 seconds. Allow the
 nest to remain for 30 minutes. Provide command to
 send nest away (CROWSNEST DISMISS) prematurely for 2p
 and 10 sec equilibrium loss.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Raise power cost for Nestcall to 7p and 5 carrion.
 Lower equilibrium cost to call to 10 seconds. Allow
 the nest to remain for 20 minutes. Provide command to
 send nest away (CROWSNEST DISMISS) prematurely for 1p
 and 10 sec equilibrium loss.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Lower power cost for Nestcall to 3p and 5 carrion.
 Lower equilibrium cost to call to 5 seconds. Allow
 the nest to remain for 10 minutes. Provide command to
 send nest away (CROWSNEST DISMISS) prematurely for 1p
 and 5 sec equilibrium loss.

Likewise supported, preference for solution 3.

I support any modification to Nestcall to make it actually user-friendly. As
far as it goes, it was created as a mirror of Stag Totem (same cost, + carrion,
same duration), but Nestcall does not have the added effect of curing
afflictions of either the nest-caller or the nest-caller's allies, or healing
them- it only heals the one person whose nest it is, and only one can be
summoned to a room at a time.
