Rousing the mesmerized

Post by nobody »

There was some chatter in the game channel recently about rousing people from the mesmerized condition whilst doing minimal damage to their person and I had a couple suggestions for commands to do that:
  • Modify shake so that if you shake <person> a mesmerized person it will shake them out of the mesmerized condition (and possibly incur some RT, as that seems appropriate).
  • Modify the prick command to be able to be used by non-warlocks (without vials, but should still require a needle) to do whatever minor damage prick already does, but also thereby stir a mesmerized person. If prick cannot be used on mesmerized people currently by warlocks, maybe allow that too. If you cannot think clearly, a warlock shouldn't have any problem getting you to donate blood!
  • Modify slap, as above with shake, RT again is appropriate as is maybe a small amount of bludgeon damage.
Failing that, you can always explore the improvised weapons available, many of them do very little damage. Try stabbing your mesmerized friends with a throwing knife, they'll thank you! (Maybe. If they survive.)

Per the changelog: It is now possible to shake a mesmerized non-hostile human target in order to attempt to remove the mesmerized effect from them. There is a chance of failure and a 3-second roundtime to perform this action.
