6176, Ghosts and Faerie Fog
Posted by Astillian on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Should Ghosts be allowed to faerie fog somebody out of hiding? I had that happen to me. Although it didn't cause my death, it could have. Can be exploited.
6207, Agreed.

I could have sworn I got this one, but that was one of those projects with lots of tiny checkboxes to cross off, and I probably missed it. The intended function would mirror our stance on healing and related abilities, as someone else pointed out in the thread.

We're OK with someone out of range being able to Faerie Fog you, because someone can stop them. The problem with a ghost fogger (or healer) is that nothing can stop them unless they let you.

6205, I could be wrong but Fog is area,

so by it being cast in the room, he is not directing it at anyone, and is not a matter for ghost affecting someone directly
6201, but then

It isn't that much different from someone outside of your pk fogging you.
6203, RE: Well, there is a difference.

There is a difference: In one case, the fogger is a ghost. In the other, the fogger is merely out of range. By anology:

Healers can heal others outside of PK, as well. But if that healer dies and is a ghost, he can no longer heal others outside of PK.

Likewise, you can faerie fog others outside of PK, but if you die and are a ghost, you can no longer faerie fog others outside of PK.

That being said, there is a shorter duration. But the question is whether ghosts should be able to affect other players, at all. Maybe ghosts shouldn't be allowed to loot PC corpses, either (other than their own).

They are not affecting players directly, it's an area spell isn't it
6200, works both ways too

You can be faerie fogged as a ghost.
