I mean, that's not how we did it before, but okay, whatever.

Like I said, I think further improving the targeting on our lightning will have diminishing returns. And I would be highly surprised if we could reduce HoA to Cheap with a revision.
Some better foe-detection will aid us in the close confines of the city. As will making our weapons easier to load.

[Madman198237]

We can, though.

It's in the rules that we can.


If Arstotzka can keep doing it with their ridiculous Crystalworks, we might as well exploit it to rain lightning down.

And it's not improving targeting, it's making it avoid our soldiers.

I seem to recall ES requesting separate vote boxes for separate revisions to avoid complications. We might want to scrap our second revision plan in favour of fixing the first one if it fails.

Aside from its immediate utility, I imagine Mind Sense should have quite a good roll bonus, seeing as how it builds off Detect Ambush and all our mind-related stuff. It's been a while since we tried to do something tied to our spellbook's actual domain.

Lightning cells beings us one step closer to a lightning revolver. And I shall call it the "Single Action Allah".

[Madman198237]

If we play it smart, we won't HAVE another turn to make revolvers.

Not that a revolver is a good idea anyway.

Revision: Mind Sense [5+1]

Conscious minds have unique "Markers", which can make them recognizable to the casual mind-reader. They are ultimately unique from individual to individual, but many have similarities; for example, infantrymen tend to have similar mental markers from training, different from farmers, or educators or commanders or wives or children.  These distinctions are even different between Arstotzkan and Moskurger.  By using mind reading, an apprentice can locate where another mind is relative to himself.  Typically a mage can only find the angle of another mind in relation to himself, but if in communication with another mind reader (through teletalk wands) they can triangulate the target.  A third mind reader even allows them to determine the elevation and location with greater precision, and easily differentiate between friend and foe.

Mind Sense has an effective range of Long.

Lies and slander.

Why don't we make our lightning rifles, Wands of Lightning, and all our lightning spells less likely to hit our own troops?

Wouldn't THAT be a neat idea?

Seriously though, we're facing some super-CQB, so you guys argue, why not make these things usable at point-blank.

[Taricus]

Not having it hit our troops would be much more easily achieved by just having our melee weapons be electrified. No need to worry about it hitting a friendly if we're only swinging it at the enemy.

[Atomic Chicken]

Making lightning avoid adamantium probably wouldn't be enough to guarantee the safety of our soldiers. Keep in mind that we never got around to developing full-body adamantium armour. That is to say, exposed body parts would be as vulnerable as our Arstotzkan targets.

I think we should work on improving our teletalk wands. Our lack of long-ranged communications was mentioned to have hurt us several times in the last few reports, and it's now a limiting factor with regards to mindsense.

Shortwave Teletalk
Inspired by recent breakthroughs in the field of electro-maghnatism (a couple of vague theories about the length of 'waves' and their frequencies) our Researcher-Priests have decided to unearth the schematics of our oldest magical device, the teletalk wand, in an effort to enhance its long-since diminished utility in the warzone. By modelling the magical system after these novel earthly principles, they believe they can vastly increase the transmission range of any beacon.

Ah, but wouldn't that be appropriate as our last action in the game, fixing up the first thing we ever designed?
Also, it's a good idea. Effective communications are always helpful.

Oh I'm so conflicted. I want Lightning Cells and Shortwave Teletalk. Hmm... When fighting from street to street, communication is going to be hella important. If we have the range, our airships could guide our infantry...
