[Amendment] Cheese begone

[PrimnyaQuorum 3999]

 

ITALICIZED or BOLDED Text are changed, STRIKETHROUGH Text is removed.

Pasted Text has been shortened from the page’s full mechanics + redlines to emphasis altered text’s location and scale.

 

Purpose: 

Zar’Akal abilities were not meant to include their connection emote (effectively turning crunch into a 1 emote gotcha and devour into a 1 charge 1 cast drazi troll) and while this has been an enjoyable few months, it’s gotta go. Likewise, these are abilities; I don’t see why they need to be tied to connection so instead they now just require the full emote count. 

 

 

Spoiler

 

Living vessels of rakir, maleus, and genus melded into one from the remnants of their predecessor, a Zar’akal’s powers are greater than that of the mundane infernals, and too beyond that of the prince it once was- an emperor befitting of a regime must bear force and trickery accustomed to such, and thus it shall be. These abilities are inherent to all twisted kings, and can solely be utilized by their ilk, with each spell including connection not requiring connection, but instead the full emote count as listed.

Ngl bro if you were using crunch in [1] emote you were powergaming. The spell in of itself is written pretty clear. You charge maleus into limb / teeth, you attack in the next emote. Connection DOES NOT make your entire body always enhanced by maleus. 

 

Not sure what to say about the rest of innate abilities. I can see the logic being that in them you have to first call forth ruin (which is what i view grimoireless connection as) and then expulse it in some form. Also, every other ability except [devour] is non-combative. I don't see a reason to force their emote count big.

 

Also, I had no idea this bit even existed in the lore. Thank you for pointing it out. I can be more whimsical with my emotes now

You missed the extensive discussions [and multiple cases of st akal] doing it becase the spells, by the header, are 1 connect + 1 cast. Its cheese. We all acknowledged it as cheese. As much as I hate to say it you need to be slightly more active and aware in the chats :(

 

Likewise, when writing this, the abilites were ALL made with the intent of taking those set emote counts. +1 emote will not kill you.

True. It won't kill me. I don't really mind the amendment especially since I've been unawaringly using the full-count all the time kekw. However-

 

 

It takes [2] emotes to cast crunch. One of congealing the maleus, and one for actually crunching into the target.

 

If any ST looked over this redline's wording and went "yeah erhm its vague enough to be overwritten by a random 1 sentence somewhere in the beginning" then I with love recommend getting some more brainpower and its not even about aknowledging this as cheese. Its just about an ability to read.

 

(Granted, maybe this redline was amended such after a mishaped ruling, so maybe my castigation is nulled)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also. I will return. One day.

I did bring this issue to ST and the general reaction I got was "hahha oops we didn't mean that, oh well have fun" so...........

 

I am not encouraging it's interpetation this way, but it has been for some time. Given I am working on other matters [those who know:] it seems relevant to nip this issue before it devolves my other works. 

 

 

Waiter, Waiter, more zonty tears!
