So, whats the change to green have to do with pureblades? Just curious, so I can understand.
Just a downgrade to slit locks so you don't need to use power to cure them,

Yes, the new affs for PB's are laughable, really, in this report they got nerfed (no more slitlocks), rupture gut is ok bleeding, but hunger is pretty weak, it took me down (hunger) 1 level and I'm size 3...
Lacerations do nice bleeding though, to be honest, they could be interesting to stack with a BM... arteries/lacerations/niricol/senso/stupidity, lotso herb cures...
Cheers for no power loss on misses!!!!!!!!!!!!1
good timing hey, you just drop out an update and now theres more to do
Daganev2006-11-27 16:45:09
Since when does Green not use power?
Ildaudid2006-11-27 18:12:54
She meant that you didn't need to use green to cure slitlock.
Daganev2006-11-27 18:29:17
Now I'm even more confused... Green was made easier to use to cure with.. i.e. you can use green while prone. How does that affect not using green to cure slitlock?

There were two changes to slitlock curing. Cleanse can be used to cure slickness (need to be standing, unentangled, etc). Green/Gedulah can also be used to cure slickness/slitthroat (do not need to be standing, unentangled, etc, but costs 3p).

Cleansing to cure slitlock was a big downgrade to wounding warriors.

It was a nice upgrade to bonecrushers!
Ixion2006-11-27 21:07:06
No it wasn't.
It was a downgrade to BM/PB's, and that is all.

ahh but if we make them waste their cleanse with things like ecotplasm, it will do fine... whore ecto if they cleanse to cure it (people with cleanse enchants) they may run out... then hit for the slitlock
Ceren2006-11-27 22:59:52
Bad idea if they have a cube. A better use for ectoplasm would be try and get them balance locked and slitlocked at the same time, which is possible since they won't be able to cure scabies while slitlocked. That may be the only way to truelock now. Of course, if you get scabies from your contagion it might be better to just ectoplasm and pinleg them with senso on your swords. Unless they already have a calamus outrifted it's going to be very hard to writhe off.
Ildaudid2006-11-27 23:02:01
that or incorporate gash cheek now. since it has a chance to throw you off balance.
Also, was Hefty Axe and Hefty Sword upgraded? Can't remember seeing if they did that or not, or if they are planning to install those in soon??

As I said in the other thread, those changes were the only ones that were rejected. If you have another, different suggestion for how they could be upgraded, get your envoy to envoy it in a minireport.

Subj: Special Bard Envoy Updates
These are some changes to music and song abilities as requested by the
bard envoys in a special report as well as changes discussed with
envoys. There may be more forthcoming changes in an addendum report that
was subsequently requested. Again, these are only music/song
effects--there are still upcoming Acrobatic changes which Sior is
currently working on.
There is a new skill in music called "Blankchord" which gives the
blanknote effect to all enemies in the room. It is a power skill and
will not stun.
For both Blanknote and Blankchord, there is a side effect wherein eating
faeleaf will not give the sixthsense skill for a random amount of time
(though it will still cure deafness and blindness).
There is a new skill in all the song specializations called
CaptiveAudience which will greatly change the tactics of bard songs.
I'll leave it to the bards to explain.
SickeningPlague in Necroscream has been upgraded.
Processional and Starlight in Starhymn have been upgraded.
Penned by My hand on the 14th of Avechary, in the year 163 CE.

To add some things:
Blankchord costs 5 power.
Blank noting someone seems to actually hit yourself. Yeah, most likely a bug.
The time duration between restoring deafness gives a message along the lines of 'The ache in your ear canals subsides.' I can't recall it.

Syntax: CAPTIVATE AUDIENCE
This will effect all allies and enemies in the room who can hear and are not
already captivated by a bard. Those who are captivated will only pay attention
to your songs and thus will only be effected (either negatively or positively)
by your song effects. Blanknote or Blankchord will break the captivation.

I don't quite understand Captivate. BlankNote/Chord will break it? So if they go deaf again, you have to undeaf them, then captivate again?
Ildaudid2006-12-03 18:05:55
There is a time delay before you can throw up faeleaf again for sixth sense
Does anyone know the time it take before you are able to put it back up??

Just long enough that if you eat a couple herbs to throw sixth-sense back up, it'll bite you in the ass.

I think captivate is intended to deal with issues of warring bards on opposing teams. The bard captivates his team, then other bards can't attack the allies, without them first attacking with blanks.

Yep, I think that's right. This probably won't have as great an effect on 1v1 with a Bard though, unless the non-Bard fighter was smart enough to get captivated by someone else. This would probably be very interesting for raiding/defending, although to be honest the 5 power cost of blankchord seems to be a lot right now...actually, Music in general seems to take a lot of power...
Can you captivate another Bard though? Will they not be affected by their own songs then?
