I like how the topic went from "is there a point?" to "Lets get rid of it!"

This would be because it was upgraded by a LOT half way through the topic.

I also find it odd how the same people who want to make Greater Pentagram weaker, think spores are completely reasonable.

Spores are a combat balance issue, and that's arguable. Being able to completely block entrance to a room breaks questing, combat, influencing... damn near everything.

If someone is blocking a quest,combat, influence or whatever, and you can't use words to get them to let you through, then it must be a war situation, in which case its still combat, or if you want to be specific its a Conflict situation.

Basically, you have Group A that wants to be in room X and Group B that does not want you in room X

Prefectly valid point, IF there was SOME way inside. Granted, I've never tested it, but if what is being said here is correct, sitting + shield + monolith + greater pentagram = no way into a room. Being able to indefinitely block all access to a room isn't conflict, because conflict requires there to be some way to fight back.

Someone said this before, but I'll answer it now. Angels/demons cannot break shields. Though, you can move them into a Greater Pentagram room and have them give afflictions to said person, and that said person cannot do anything except diagnose and cure.

A celestial archangel mutters and pokes her index finger towards you and makes

I'm pretty sure that angel/demon attacks that you summon bypass pentagram. Unless they changed it since I haven't summoned a demon inawhile.

That's a celestia-loyal, not a player-loyal.
Shamarah2005-01-07 22:36:47
No, that's a player loyal, it was from a spar.

I don't know if this has been suggested, but can't a Nihilist Beckon people out of Greater Pentagrams?

EDIT: Also, my demon uses void all the time!
Silvanus2005-01-07 22:58:05
Yes, but they could have pentagram or sat down.

Everyone, everyone, get your facts straight:

1) Trueheal's prismatic barrier fades away by itself after a while
2) World Tarot does not work, at all, whatsoever
3) Angels and demons both do automatic void, whether they're in Cosmic or player loyals.

More corrections coming as you all make more mistakes.
Unknown2005-01-07 23:15:20
Actually, barrier can only fade if you make an action
Amaru2005-01-07 23:18:56
? That's a bug.
