Invoker can pat me on the head, but I cannot pat invoker. Should be recriprocal, no? If I can't get close enough to do it, invoker shouldn't be able to get close enough to me no?

The invoker while under shields can reach out through the shields to do these kinds of socials. That doesn't mean you can safely reach through the invoker's shields to do the same.

And no, I'm not going to code it so that if you're resistant to the shield type you can reach through it from the outside. Those shields are more than just the elements they are made of - they constitute a physical barrier, too.

What he's talking about is when you have shield of say waves up, you can't don't certain social commands to others, like hug someone. Next time I'm on, I can show you what he's talking about if you want. What I would like to see changed is that you can do the socials if they are protected from the element that you have the shield of up, like with bash. Can we keep that on the down low?

Explain a little better?

The emote. When I type "pat " I get "you can't get close enough" as an echo. Meaning his greater shield is keeping me away from him.

But he can use the emote and "pat" me.

My post was saying it should work both ways, either we can both pat eachother or neither can pat the other.

Hope that explains better.
