Proposal: Warm Fusion

Passes 7-1 with 3 defs—arthexis

Adminned at 28 Oct 2008 07:22:40 UTC

Add the following text before the last sentence of rule 2.3, “Health”:

If a Clansman could perform Healing, they may instead perform a Blood Transfusion. If they do so, they set the Health of another non-Dead Clansman to the previous value in the list just like in Healing, except that the other Clansman may already be Healthy. The Clansman performing the Blood Transfusion then receives Damage.

You know what’s cool about this rule? You can make anyone else Superb, but you can’t get there yourself. More than that, in any group one Clansman can’t be Superb if all the others are. Access (or not) to transfusions could be a reason for choosing a Clan.

for The obvious reason would be to buff up your clan’s champion before an important duel.

It becomes possible to kill yourself. I think there should be some sort of “no kill yourself” clause.

If you really want to kill yourself, I say go right ahead.

I dont see a problem if you want to kill yourself with this mechanic… if you want, do it (its like cutting yourself…)

against This is okay, I guess, but doing it should count as Healing for the day (or prevent Healing for 72 hours, or _something_).  As written, one could Transfuse, and then immediately Heal the resulting Damage.  Maybe that was intended, but I don’t like it in any case.

Healing has a “if a Clansmen has not received Damage in the past 24 hours and no Crushing Damage in the last 48 hours” requirement.

CoV imperial Ah, yes.  For some reason I was thinking “Well, I meet the requirements for Healing, but I choose to do a Transfusion _instead_ of Healing.  Oh, and since I still meet the requirements, now I go ahead and Heal”.  oops
