Physicker Ability Suggestion: Sal Volatile

Post by Marcuson »

Sal Volatile is an ability that can be learned by Physickers.

IC Description: Physickers have committed to an intense study of the mind and its operation and, in the process, have uncovered alchemical compounds that provide powerful shocks to the nervous system -- so much so, in fact, that these compounds are even capable of waking someone from unconsciousness. Commoners call them "smelling salts"; regardless of the name, caution is advised during application thereof.

OOC Description: (Physickers gain the ability to wake unconscious targets, even ones at negative energy. (Death will still occur at -100 energy.) Physickers may also attempt to wake mesmerized targets from their stupor. Unskilled Physickers risk inducing a coughing fit in their patients, who will struggle to breathe. Repeated use over short periods of time will drastically increase the chance of this.)

Usage: wake <target>

I like this, and would like to suggest that it also causes a bit of a hit to morale - perhaps a higher Medical skill can help mitigate that a little bit.
