Proposal: Diminished Divination Disaster

Self-killed. Josh

Adminned at 19 Nov 2010 06:19:39 UTC

If the Proposal titled “The Back Row” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

In the subrule of rule 2.5 entitled “Disasters”, change the bullet that deals with a disaster in Divination class to read as follows:

If a Disaster occurs in a Divination Lesson, the Students get a glimpse of their future. Each Student who has taken a Class Action in the Lesson either gains the enchantment “Precognisance” or, if they already have that enchantment, increments its Force.

Add a new subrule to rule 2.8, Spells, entitled Precognition:

Difficulty Level: DIV 2
Effect: The caster gains a “Precognisance” enchantment. If a Student has a Precognisance enchantment, then the next time that Student increments or decrements any one of their grades, they must remove one Precognisance enchantment and repeat the increment or decrement.

“If an Enchantment includes a number, that number is its Force.” - an Enchantment with no number has no defined Force, rather than a Force of zero. Although “Precognisance 2” doesn’t appear to be distinct from “Precognisance” anyway, in its effect.

:Imperial: Per Kevan, and because Casting Precognition just before studying an Advanced lesson can make your grade rocket from D to A+.

That said, it’s not game-breaking, so I’m not completely against.

[Greytyphoon] Manual voting only works if it’s in all-caps, if you’re trying to save time or bandwidth on a smartphone.

imperial I’m actually FOR, but if Brendan thinks it’s game-breaking I’ll follow his lead.

I always feel like I should self-kill when a prop gets mostly DEFs. Does anyone else get that?

Roujo: he/him

18-11-2010 17:41:26 UTC

Yeah, me too. But I figure DEFs aren’t AGAINSTs, so they don’t oppose it. It’s either that they don’t care or trust the Emperor to make the good choice, so I don’t take it personally. =)

@Roujo: I get that feeling, but I get it because I feel that they don’t care, so it makes me think it’s probably a boring mechanic.

against I don’t really see how this is a disaster except for the player who causes it to happen and gives everyone else a bonus. As long as you make sure to study before you cast any spells this enchantment can only be good for you, as casting spells is the only time you ever decrement your own grade unless I’m mistaken.

against CoV because “increments its Force” doesn’t really work, and I think we can wait and see how a serious Disaster plays out in practice, before diminishing it.
