Report #668
Skillset: Glamours Skill: Deadlypattern
 Org: Cacophony Status: Rejected Aug 2011
Furies' Decision:
We do not agree that this is a problem and cannot see a valid reason for this to
be approved.
Problem: The caster cannot see the defense that deadlypattern removes.
Solution #1: Let the caster see which defense is removed.

I don't think this is necessary. Most if not all other defense strippers have
costs associated (deadlypattern does not?) and only one comes to mind that
informs the user, Runes' Sigil. What is the list on deadlypattern?

Added at the request of a guildmate: "As a glamourist, it is really helpful if
we can see what defences are removed. If a power cost of one is needed, then
it'd be fine as a alternate command like WEAVE DEADLYPATTERN <target> SIGHT or
something akin to that. Another idea is to have a second option that will allow
a glamourist to choose one based on the list of defences the ability can strip
for one power such as WEAVE DEADLYPATTERN <target> <defence>."

This is unnecessary, many other defense stripping skills do not inform the
caster which defense is stripped

By "many" you mean "most". There's no balanced reason for this, -especially-
for being able to target a specific defense.
