No systems, manual healing only, that should see who types fast.

Everyone's an orclach and you can only use sparkleberry. Aaaand GO!
Unknown2011-01-10 17:16:39
I have to raise this point, will changelinging mid-debate be allowed? It's a non-balance once per month full vitals refresh, so...yeah. Might want to keep an eye on that.

We'll post the 'rules' for the Justice challenge to give everyone some time to prepare once they're finalized.

Clearly, we should ban Faeling due to being OP.

You're wrong, the racial revamp fixed faelings, just like they did with every other race.

I'll stop trolling now.

Subj: The approaching Justice Challenge

Mortals, the Seal of Justice yet requires a bearer and the challenge
approaches. Prepare for the battles of wit and tongue that await you and
be mindful of what will and will not be tolerated in your debates.

Allowed:
- influence/dramatics skillsets
- general healing (bromides, sparkleberry, etc)
- tradeskill items or abilities (including enchantment, tinkering, etc)
- any preparatory or permanent buffs (karma blessings, racial benefits,
etc) acquired before your debate

Not allowed:
- any activated abilities outside the skillsets allowed above (roulade,
laetitia, etc)
- passive ego regeneration from skills outside the skillsets allowed
above (presence, penumbra, etc)
- any action or skill that fully refreshes you (refresh, trueheal, etc)
- shrine abilities
- beasts

Interesting. A shame about the "no beasts" part, but still good.

are we still allowed to use things like penumbra for the higher ego?
Ssaliss2011-01-12 01:21:52
I'd assume so. Probably falls under "any preparatory or permanent buffs".

No, Penumbra is restricted from use (as you cannot elect certain aspects of the buff).

Aww. Will you strip the defense from us if we show up with Penumbra, or do we have to actually think about it during the whole day of the trial?

I'm happy to zap-kill anyone who desires it.

At any time, in fact, not just the Justice event.

(I don't really know the answer to this, but I think it's fair to say you should do your utmost not to come with illegal buffs.)

These are the most fair rules of any Justice competition so far, IMO.

GG.
Talan2011-01-12 01:42:35
What about things like bardicpresence and netzach (straight charisma buffs-defenses) Do they count as preparatory buffs, or activated skills?

Yeah, pretty much.

Just one thing left to do now...

*cue whining about demigods*
Ssaliss2011-01-12 01:46:36
This is the first time the rules have actually been posted in advance, right? Can't remember anything like it last time, at least...

Sounds like they're prepatory buffs, so I think you should be fine with those.

I feel like the rules outlined these pretty well.

If it is an active ability (shine, roulade, etc) then it is not allowed.

If it passively accrues ego for its user, and is not from a tradeskill or dramatics or influencing, then it is not allowed.

Preparatory buffs (like harmony seal blessings, netzach, anything that only adds to your charisma - and not passive ego regen as well) are perfectly fine.

They just increase charisma, so are fine.

By activated skills, I think the thought was more along the lines of things activated during the debate, like active healing skills or 'attacks' on the other person outside influence and dramatics.

Edit: Eventru is quick. :/
