Best way to avoid that...is to not get hit by a smudge!
If you are 1 on 1, you can just shield or climb up and cling or whatever. There's NO way that she ever gets a smudge off if you are carefull...

Most brilliant idea ever for fighting a druid.

Want to get 300 bleeding or the 200 bleeding the demesne does once it hits?
And if you are talking about sap, you'd have to be extremly unlucky to get into the case to climb up right before the demesne hits and you are sapped. And that's STILL not too bad. Against an ecologist, I honestly would advice to fight in the trees rather on the ground, but to each his own, I guess.

I've never actually tried this myself, but Munsia once told me that untargetted gust delays the effects of smudges.

Hrm.....would be nice if it was 100%, but I always thought, because of reading the ab files, that there was only a chance that that worked...and so it never really was worth getting some gust enchantments to me.

I'd rather get sapped and cleanse, then get hilled, then sapped, or any other combination of nasty smudges. Also, if you're using both smudges and treelife, you HAVE to time them together to be at all effective, so they'll be expecting you in trees at certain times, and attempt to sap them. You're not nearly as likely to be instantly sapped when you swing up as you might think.

If Triggers can be considered an IC 'reflex' then breaking a trigger can also be IC. Can't have one without the other, now.

Illusions must be a metagaming skillset then...

I deliberately study how people fight and heal to set up ways to break their systems. It's not metaging, it's learning about your opponent. This is like reading and studying an old professor's tests to see what sort of questions he might throw at you in your class. There's nothing wrong with this and it's highly encouraged.
It's fine that you don't want to engage yourself in Lusternia's combat, but don't call others metagamers just because you don't like it.

Just to put this in perspective:
Keep in mind that triggers ARE OOC. Reflexes is just an IC way of talking about it.
Attempting to break someones triggers is therefore a metagaming action and so Illusions ARE a metagaming skillset.
However this is exactly as the combat system is intended to work.
It is also perfectly explainable IC (as terenas said above).
Given the nature of the IRE combat system I don't see a problem with this.

I disagree. The "message" that you get when afflicted (which is what illusions mirror) is an IC message that the person noticed once afflicted.
Note that triggers are not what is being woven by illusions, the affliction messages are, which in turn may fire off triggers, but that's not exactly the same thing.

Yes, but any response to this from the client you use is definitely not.

Strictly speaking, even highlighting.
Edit: I should learn to spell

If you train enough to do something, you pretty much do do it reflexively and without thinking. The way my repetive job is, I can most of the jobs with my eyes closed, and all of them while more than half asleep. With the time it takes to make a system, you can easily explain it IC. Unless you just buy it, then you have to make something up.
