Skills discrepancies

Well, this isn't a complaint per se, since I don't actually know if I'm just confused or if there's something going on here, but a few of the skills have a few slight issues. Might just be interesting tweaks, I don't know. But, for example, you can dance when you have a broken leg (moondance waxing, for example), but you can't point a dagger at someone with nature curse.

Also, broadcast has two different AB descriptions - the basic one, which says you can hear everywhere, and the specific, which says you can speak everywhere. As it is, it doesn't seem any better than the next lowest one, because I don't think you can actually GET that many planes away anyway, unless I'm sorely mistaken.

And some teleporting skills will let you SAY SOMETHING but not "SOMETHING. Is this how they're meant to be?

Be sure that it is very quiet at the Astral plane. It is one reason why I sometimes like to go there. Broadcast allows you to be heard even if you are on Astral everyone on Prime connected to that channel can hear your channel talk.
But you are right, some things look odd. Pointing the dagger or sickle at your foe not being possible with a broken leg is either a little bug but more likely a game balance issue though on the other hand being able to dance with a broken leg...uhm, well...grit your teeth and do it. happy.gif

everytime you find stuff like that BUG it. If its not a bug it will be deleted.. .its not a big deal to overbug, it is a big deal to under bug.

By over bug I'm sure he means bugging things that may or may not be a bug. I know he doesn't mean spamming the bug reports, don't do that, it's bad.

I believe Broadcast has only worked in one area, and that'd be from the Arena to outside the Arena.

And the teleporting skills, anything like that lets you use SAY instead of ' in all realms. The ' is like a shortcut, while SAY is the real thing. Like if you try looking at QW you can't, but if you do WHO while teleporting you can.

Yeah, I know they're shortcuts, but it bothers me because I can't use them as effectively as if I were typing the normal thing. It's not like there's some balance issue to be worked out there tongue.gif The broadcast would be explained by that though! I forgot all about Limbo and things like Gib's belly. Thanks for the hint.

EDIT: It also seems to only work for burrow. Although I can't survey down there, Jelani is the only one I could hear while burrowed, and I know for a fact he has Broadcast.
