| Description | rewrote the Sentinel major blast, Elflord area attack, and Ringwielder area attack runes to affect a randomized number of potential targets usually depending on a relevant capability rating; reduced cost of Sentinel minor blast; reduced activity costs, SP costs, and damage of the Ringwielder area attacks by about 50% and removed their cooldown times |
| Reason | the "affects everything in the room" model is just a huge problem, making area attacks disproportionately valuable and encouraging "gather a crowd" tactics that are horribly bad for the MUD in terms of lag and errors; so it had to go |
| Result | area effects are now mostly run on a "affects several potential targets" rather than "affects every target in the room" basis |
| Projects | Ringwielders, Leonid's Sentinels, Elflords |
| Version | not updated |
