 So then, wards are temporary (active for some sort of limited time), used outside of hut/ship comparments (which requires a pulldown menu when there are multiple targets in an area), and exclusive to shamans. Some new questions are: '''Can they fail?''' - I think there should be a success rate, '''Can they stack?''' - I don't think it's neccessary, '''Costs AP?''' - More than 1 AP surely, '''Earns XP?''' - I don't think it needs to, '''Required item?''' - An interesting opportunity to make useless items useful (maybe poisonous snakes and gourds of water), '''Friendly spirits?''' - Rather than ejecting spirits, I feel the wards should act like the shaman chanting and prevent only screaming. (I am adverse to adding new classes [although a Priest/Missionary might be a better counterpart to Shamans than Scientists] and would like to see Scientists granted the ability to perform the warding rituals [perhaps their wards last for a shorter period of time or are more succeptible to failure] provided they have a prerequisite understanding of shaman mysticism [a Research skill or just Native Knowledge]? There might also be a need for a cursing countermeasure available to spirits which have a low chance of breaking a ward.) --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 21:56, 27 May 2006 (BST)

 Come on, people! I need to hear a bit more feedback than this.--[[User:Wifey|Wifey]] 18:17, 9 May 2006 (BST)
 :I think of exorcism as more of a protection type skill.  As Banshee Wailing becomes more prevalent in towns across Shartak, shamans should be able to hone into the spirit world to ward off evil spirits.  I think of this skill as similar to barricading a building - the more a shaman blesses a building, the longer it takes for a spirit to penetrate the force and enter the building.  Another way to implement this would be for shamans to bless people, making it harder for banshee wailing to affect them.  I don't like the term exorcism, because that implies on evil spirit possessing a living body, which has yet to happen on Shartak.  A skill like "Blessing" or "Prayer" I think is more appropriate thematically. --[[User:Gandhi|Gandhi]] 02:41, 17 May 2006 (BST)
