#16763, "elemental noarea command"


          

The noarea command for elementals is nice since it allows conjurers to rank a little easier without worrying about hitting unintended mobs, and makes it less likely for a conjurer to become wanted if an elemental hits the wrong person in a city.

Any chance of extending the noarea command to other servitors? Specifically angels, demons, and devils? There's too many times that an angel's pillar of lightning hits other group mates, and chain lightning/acid storm/forked lightning, etc has the same effect or worse than anything an elemental can do.

I don't know anything about Demons and Devils, though I suspect there are some with which you don't have to worry about area effects, but I personally think the command should not work for angels, as you have archons to get around that (or fighting indoors). Angels are chaotic and not meant to be controled. It adds a nice aspect to them, plus they don't hit cabalmates. I wouldn't mind them not hitting groupmates either, but I'm sure that's been brought up before, so I doubt it will happen.

but angels, archons, devils and demons have their own agendas.

If they were non-sentient, they would not state "I will not bow down to you, Mortal" on a failed binding, and they certainly wouldn't turn violent, ever. Perhaps uncaring is a better way to look at them. From a balance standpoint, every conjurer has an elemental, so the ability to remove the area effect from them is certainly understandable. The other area effects, though, can be bypassed, from what I can tell.
