[CSYS] Trance, and OOC say/pose update
We pull back the curtain on a stealth buff to Trance, while also cutting down chatter from the peanut gallery of a fight.
Trance and OOC Say/Pose
Hey folks, long time no post. Two minor things to note.
[1] TRANCE BUFF (now documented!)
We... didn't publicize this. Forgot to. Some of you already knew.
Using +trance (from the INTENSITY trait) confers one turn of immunity to the effects of Predictable attacks. That is to say, characters undergoing a trance:
- won't gain a Projectile to-hit penalty
- won't give attackers bonuses for landing a Dash or Shift attack
- won't have a harder time interrupting Dash or Projectile attacks
For folks who might think this is OP, please remember that folks sacrifice 10 health to use +trance. The Predictable immunity goes away after the trancer's next action.
[2] OOC SAY/POSE BUFF (new feature!)
Also, a new feature addition, for people with a very specific profile.
Do you:
(a) always use @emit or spoof for your IC poses?
(b) comment on scenes with the OOC commands (+ooc, os, op, and so forth)
(c) occasionally *forget* to use the OOC commands and use say/pose instead?
(d) immediately turn into a pile of dust when (c) happens?
If all four are true, then we have a feature for you! Just enable this feature:
@set me=_prefs/say/oocsaypose?:yes
With this option set to "yes", the output of your 'say' and 'pose' commands in an IC room will have [OOC] tacked onto the beginning. So when it comes time to edit the log, boom, it's nice and easy to edit. @emit and spoof are not affected by this option.
This option can also be set in the @setup tool under System Options - Pose Options (4 6 4).
Happy facepunching, folks!
