Report 1649

Special Report #1649
Skillset: Kata Skill: Crunch
 Org: Shofangi Status: Rejected Dec 2007
Furies' Decision:
No longer relevant
Problem: Shofangi Crunch currently can replace up to 750 bleeding if they
grapple a target in the trees and use crunch, while both of these are
situational (you won't always be fighting in trees and you won't always be
fighting someone who isn't furrikin/acrobat) that combination together means
that at max if you could somehow stick the ice affs you could remove the bleed
requirement entirely. This report seeks to move crunch more in line with other
monk instas.
Solution #1: Make the grapple condition and the trees condition mutually
 exclusive.
Solution #2: Solution 1 and change the amount of bleeding equivalent that a
 grapple/being in trees grants to 250 (down from 375).

When I read it I understood the trees requirement as you needing to be actually
above them in the trees.

Apparently crunch works where if not in trees, you need a grapple to crunch. If
in trees, you can crunch without needing to grapple, and there's an extra
"attack" where you can crunch from trees if you don't share the same elevation
as the victim. So 1 is fine.

Sure. Solution 1 sounds fine

Sol1 is okay.
