Skillset: Hexes Skill: None

Furies' Decision:
Approved - solution 1
Problem: At current, hexen can draw hexes on their palms, throat, and soles.
However, there's no real way of removing the hexes unless they're used up. This
can be especially bothersome with hexen soles, as that requires a forced
movement rather than active use like palm or throat.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Add in a way to HEXEN WIPE <area>. So you could HEXEN
 WIPE THROAT and it'll remove the hex drawn there, for
 example.

Definitely support

As another note, this should not forceable.
---[Nienla on 11/9 @ 04:52 writes]:
Bah. Be forceable
---[Meir on 11/18 @ 07:26 writes]:
I agree with the solution. I'm not sure if you were finally saying that this
should be forceable or should not be, Nienla. But it should be.
---[Nienla on 11/18 @ 19:26 writes]:
It shouldn't be forceable because of the power costs associated with those hexen
abilities, plus one of them drops when you die. If they're forceable, the power
costs need to drop on Palm, Throat, and so forth. It's like being able for
someone to drop a power def on Dark or something.

Great idea, only logical to have this mechanic. In terms of it being or not
being forceable, I agree with Nienla. It should not be forecable if it is a
power defence.

I've been informed that apparently there are a good number of power defences
that can be forced to enable or disable them, therefore it would make sense to
have this skill follow suit.
---[Yukio on 12/21 @ 00:15 writes]:
Examples of such defences are surge, blocking firm, and I'm sure there are
others.
---[Ceren on 12/23 @ 15:35 writes]:
Looks good. Don't have much opinion on the forcable/unforceable debate, but I've
always considered the rule to be that it should only be unforceable if it's
actually gamebreaking for it to be forceable.

Agree. If it's forceable, at least require balance and equilibrium. WIPE face
can already be done off equilibrium and balance, but face paints are non power
defences and can be re-raised off equilibrium and balance. Since this defence
requires power, it should require equilibrium and balance to wipe off.
