 Org: Hallifax Status: Rejected Oct 2017
Furies' Decision:
Not at this time.
Problem: Meteor cannot be used at all while indoors, taking away one of the

[A: 4 R: 9] Solution #1: Make Meteor work while indoors.
[A: 3 R:10] Solution #2: Make Meteor work while indoors, but with a 25% damage
 reduction while indoors.
[A: 3 R: 8] Solution #3: Make Meteor work while indoors, but making it cost 2
 power while indoors.

I always had the impression that the idea was to only be able to use meteor
outside. Purely asthetically, I would wonder how a meteor would be used inside.
I've been thinking about a while ago, making a meteor inside to require to have
a previously setup 'gateway' outside which the meteor would fall into to then be
teleported inside, maybe a second zodiac circle that would wither away after
half an hour or so? I do agree that it's bad for astrology to only have an
outdoor access to it's main damage dealer, but I'd love to see something with a
twist here to get the meteor indoors.

Agreed entirely with Aeldra-- it doesn't really make thematic sense for a meteor
to work indoors as-is (and other powerful skills sometimes do have thematic
restrictions, like Ghost and water).

I'm not a big fan of buffing meteor. In general I don't think meteor needs a
buff.

Agreed, meteor doesn't really need a buff, at the very least make it
thematically appropriate

Maybe to make it more thematically appropriate, and along the lines of solution
2, you could make the spheres explode on a target. Could be a different syntax
for the skill, which would work indoors.

But this would cause less damage than a full on meteor would do. Like the 25%
damage reduction in Sol. 2.
