- Thief Professions - Proposal to add professions for thieves. Please
contact a TS member for further information.
Passed by Liaisons
- Succumb (this was very well received by all Liaisons)
- Benches with Benefits (this was well received too)
- Pet Word of Recall
- Drink Command to Skip Blood if NonVamp
Failed by Liaisons
- Hive Mind -
- The reason I am voting no on it is that it shows more DR for thieves. They
should be more into stealth, in my view, than into DR. They would fit a bonus
in parry best. Warriors, on the other hand, would be more suited to dr or hr.
- I could see people dissecting this pretty quickly and tabulating how to get
the optimum effect for any given run setup. I would guess there might also be
need for a multi prohibition of some kind to be built into the workings to stop
people just beefing up their armies using it, which the proposal doesn't seem to
mention.
- Thematically, I'm not convinced the concept goes with Sorcerer genre... this
feels like much more of a Divinity or Shaman thing to me.

===============
* New Skill - Reciprocate: The skill automatically fires after a successful
parry or block, and can fire a maximum of twice per round (once for each weapon
wielded). It will allow the warrior to try and score a counterattack.
* Modification to Reveal: Proposal to modify the nephandi spell 'reveal' to
include both detect_invis AND detect_hidden.

-Lastname command

Label Layer EQ Tiers
-- Concept failed, but we have passed a proposal now to CoE to revamp the
existing Layer system
New Paladin Skill "Guard"
-- Basic idea was liked, but it was agreed that paladins are already very buff.
-- Also, this would effectively allow classes who do not have heaps of hp and
can't carry heaps of heals, but who have other advantages, to make use of a
Paladin's abilities while only suffering half of the usual pain.

===============
* Mail to Friends: Proposal to be able to mail to your friendslist. Command
would be similar to "Mail to friends", or "note to friends" and would copie the
character's entire friendslist into the note/mail recipients field.
* Multiple Mail duplication: Duplicate mail... so that the code actually creates
multiples of the letters. If someone takes it off the board, its THEIR piece of
mail and others still have their (same) mail to read and take.
FAILED BY CoE
-Salves in Combat - Issue here is that the existing salves were all built with
the knowledge that they wouldn't be used in combat. I think if we did this we
would need to review all salves in-game.
-Mobs Included in Config -shields - The mob stands out more the current way.
In a room with 8 players and 1 mob, it's nice. I think we'll get complaints
either way on this one.
-Charge Modification - Barbarians should not be able to get the drop on any mob.
I'd reconsider this at another time because I understand the attempted
implication, but I don't know how the function would work here.
-Block - Block was added knowing that warriors already had parry and dodge. We
wanted them to have some additional defense, but we felt they had enough
automatic defense already.
-Allow Rangers to Fletch Flaming Arrows - Send back for a rethink: How long does
a fletched arrow stay alight? They would burn out pretty quick, so I'm confused
by the mechanics of how these are created and then used.
-Shieldblock Activation Time - you need to be skilled in shield use to be able
to raise your shield in a blocking fashion, and that is represented by the
learned percentage.
PASSED BY CoE
- Feed to Initiate Combat Again.
- Vampires - Subterfugium.
- Augurers - Third Eye.
- Regeneration Change - Note: with added cooldown period.
- Pets Using Attacks
- Innate Skill/Spell Starting Percent - Note: start at same as other skills.

Nothing much discussed, nothing to pass/vote/fail.
Thanks for coming, everyone!

- Changes to Reveal
- Mail to Friends
- Multiple Mail Duplication
Failed by Liaisons
- Reciprocate
I can see the reasoning behind this idea, but in the form proposed it feels over
the top. It doesn't seem right that a warrior tanking should be able to
automatically counter attack in this fashion, given the function of tank is
essentially defensive, as a protector for the rest of their group. I find
it hard to see there ia genuine need for further encouragments to use Warriors
as tanks. On the other hand, for warriors acting as solo fighters, I could see
this idea having some merit, as long as the skill depended on some outside
factor/s for success. The idea is over the top power-wise. Without the ability
to counter/save against this automatic defense there is an imbalance in the
battle. I think it would have to be a maximum of once per round, perhaps closer
to one in three rounds It might be a good mechanic to use for some other class,
but not warriors.

Notes:
Please vote on the proposal on this board, and write up new proposals for the
board, for voting!
Passed by Liaisons:
Ranger Snare Modification
Failed by Liaisons:
Nephandi Astral Spell
- The spell detracts from the individuality of the mage class and offers
nephandi an extra functionality, since it requires no target.
- I seriously doubt a spell that would haul a group to a 'surprise destination'
involving the nearest dark room, would be highly valued.
New Command - Arrange
- I just think the arrange command seems unnecessary.
- I cant see any particular merit to this one. If people want to be tidy, they
should tidy for themselves, not have the game do it for them.
Recreation of Ranger Track
- I would vote yes on a simple proposal that says track works across areas for
rangers.
- The proposal as written contains no pro's or con's, or any thematic
explanation of the worth of making this change that I can spot.
Visage of Immortality (Cleric Spell)
- I want to hold off on the cleric slist until there is some sort of guidance
from CoE
- not opposed to the thematics of this, but the idea of having no mana cost for
casting seems a bit awkward.

Passes
========
* Alternative Gash Proposal - Changes to gash to make it more ranger suited.
* Ranger - Gash. Extension - Proposal to remove the mana cost from gash and add
an extension to it that increases the damage on a random basis but costs moves
when it is successful.
* Modification to Dispel Magic - Proposal to modify Dispel Magic so that the
caster may specifically target a spell or all spells affecting oneself.
* Autodeletion Reminder Emails - It is proposed that players receive an e-mail
to the address provided with the e-mail command (if none, no e-mail will be
sent), reminding them that their character is nearing deletion.
* Emergency Passwords - It is proposed that players be allowed to set an
'emergency password', as well as their original password. This emergency
password can then be given to another player in-game, in case the owner of the
original character is unexpectedly unable to play the game for some period of
time (or is expectedly unable to play, but does not have any really trusted
friends playing it).
