Report #275
Skillset: Wicca Skill: Crone
 Org: Moondancers Status: Completed Oct 2009
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1
Problem: Crone is a fae that gives a variety of afflictions, two of them being
claustrophobia and shyness. Those two affs create an issue as they can cause
your target to run away from you, which is slightly counterproductive to a
Moondancer's offense.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Replace the afflictions with blindness and loneliness.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Replace the two afflictions with a def stripping
 effect, follows the same theme as the Dark ability.

I don't like Solution #2, passive def stripping is already annoying enough with
Dark. It doesn't need to be made stronger. Solution #1 could be alright.

1 is definitely better, we don't need more passive def stripping. Especially
stacking with another passive def-stripper.

Though I have to note that Estarra's post a couple hours ago looks like they are
considering removing loneliness as an affliction...

Agree with solution 1, though not blindness. It should be curable with focus
mind to preserve the former cure spread. I'd suggest dizziness or epilepsy, both
of which help keep a person in the room rather than making them run out of it.

I agree with ceren, but also note that both shyness and lonelyness may end up on
the cutting block for combat streamlining so we may only need to replace
claustrophobia

Dear lord why? Is this negotiable?
---[Sarrasri on 10/16 @ 05:09 writes]:
The blindness isn't so much to hinder them running away but to give a sort of
hindrance to the target hitting the MD. If loneliness and shyness are deleted,
I'd still be looking for another aff to replace shyness's spot. Suggestions as
to other affs are welcome in comments, also remember that crone hits on a 12
second timer, and at current has about 8 afflictions, so it's a 1/8 chance for
any specific affliction to hit.

However, if it's made to be a def stripping, removing two afflictions for that
one effect, it'd move to a 1/7 chance for any specific affliction.
---[Ceren on 10/17 @ 17:30 writes]:
Honestly, you might just want to remove the two bad affs with no replacement, to
increase the frequency of your good ones.

I'm of little opinion to what the affs are, but I'm extremely against any form
of passive def stripping. Moondancers don't need anymore of that than they
already have.
