I was curious when you might use chromatic fire, considering it also has 2 round lag on it.

I am also still curious of the actual affects of havoc and disorient.

Thanks for any information!

If the sup is anything like the old Entropy power, I know it can do some pretty cool things. When (and if) chromatic fire does damage, does it hurt Orderly people more?

I also would be interested in better understanding the effects of havoc and disorient.

Thanks, Coders!

Havoc is a powerful mind destroying supplication. In addition to dropping intelligence and wisdom, it can potentially cause a number of other mind altering affects including insanity. Probably could use more echos to show off what hit the victim. At a minimum you can use this to ruin the victim's save vs spells and save vs mental.

Disorient sets a room so that gangers fighting you in that room are more like to start hitting each other instead of you.

Chromatic fire has 30 or so spells to randomly pick from and randomly targets the caster or the victim. Probably someone should make a pass through the spells and pull out the ones shamans can't cast on others or always cast them on the shaman.
Regarding the spells you had questions about, they were probably healing spells, calm (only has a chance to stop the fighting, and some mobs are immune), and change sex.

"...and change sex."

Can we get that one removed? Seems like the RP implications are more headache than value to anyone.

Seems like not a big deal to leave it in.

Pretty much nukes their ability to sing for 50 hours.

Kinda sucks...

How many people are really going to roleplay it properly? 1/20? There's a reason why it's not a general use spell for transmuters.

Someone may not roleplay it properly, but it remains a potential roleplay hook. Why take that out just because someone chooses to ignore it?

I could see if it was permanent, because if someone doesn't want to be a girl they don't have to. Petty still, but a delete that should be avoided since there is little gain.

When it's temporary they can either:

A. Ignore it and move along or
B. Use it as a hook and run with it.

A PG-13 MUD implies that many, if not most, gender-related issues are off-limits in the U.S. because of the slippery slope problem related to mudsex and TS.

Yes, in general people that are capable of logging on the MUD are already fully cognizant that these issues at least exist and have humor or plot value but for legal reasons the rules and spells/supps are as they are. You don't see direct references to human trafficking of underaged prostitutes for instance, change sex has the same problem when a player takes things too far and the imms have no choice but to ruin their character with -1 herpes or something.

I didn't know CF was PG-13, but that sounds like a solid reason to not have "change sex" at all. Along with a host of other things I'm sure. Including a current religion.
