{{Post |a=DR-MELETE |t=Re: Shock Rewrite |d=07/22/2012 06:37 AM CDT |n=1392 |f=The Empaths \ General Discussions - Empaths |c=m,d |p=''>>From what I knew, spells like FOC, REG ,HL, INNO, etc had no direct correlation with your empathy skill. Is this just a lore connection or are these spells going to be tied directly into empathy in 3.0? Or was I wrong in the first place?'' [[Heart Link|HL]], IIRC, already requires intact [[Empathy skill|empathy]] to use. [[Innocence]] does not, but to my mind this (and compel) is a manifestation of empathic manipulation, bolstered by magic, so to me it does make sense to require at least some amount of Empathy to use those. As to [[Fountain of Creation|FoC]] and [[Regenerate|Regen]] ... the idea is that as a totally [[Empathic shock|shocked]] [[Empath]], you will still have access to some self-healing ([[Heal Wounds|HW]], [[Heal Scars|HS]], [[Heal|HEAL]], [[Flush Poisons|FP]] and [[Cure Disease|CD]]) but you won't be a stupendous healing badass anymore. This is for game balance reasons, mainly. Requiring Empathy to use the healing spells is definitely a shift, but again, I want the shock-lock state to have some teeth. Obviously an Empath who hasn't hit the circle cap yet will have some incentives to keep their empathy intact, but I don't want to encourage [[Empaths]] who have hit the circle cap to view shock-lock as the default state. Thus, some of the more awesome healing spells do require at least some empathy to use. Once we get to that point I will see about trying to figure out how to fit this into the lore without doing it any truly grievous insults. |sub=Empath,Empathic Shock,Empathy skill,Compel,Cure Disease,Flush Poisons,Fountain of Creation,Heal,Heal Scars,Heal Wounds,Heart Link,Innocence,Regenerate }}
