GhostRock Questions and Answers:

[Avie]

Does Consuming GhostRock/inhaling GhostRock Smoke kill me?

No, it does not. Not yet.  The plotline is, of course, developing, but right now, it's not fatal.  Just crazymaking.

Does my Territory or Domain strip the effects of GhostRock from my person? 

Not any more.  If it was, it isn't any more. 

The Domain is unable to fundamentally change the GR.

it can suppress it while the Avatar is in the Domain, but it cannot change it.


How Does GhostRock Sickness Manifest?

GhostRock Sickness  manifests as paranoia, delusions, hallucinations.  NOT as ultraviolent behavior, unless there's a darned good reason for it.

If I have a question about GhostRock, who do I ask?

You can ask me, Cassie, Kate or Dering.  The three of them are my field GMs on this subject currently.  PM me if you have any questions.  Or call.  If you don't have the number, PM me and I'll call you.  Or catch me on gchat. Or AIM.  Or text me.  I'm good at answering text messages.

WAIT! Territories and Domains are being Breached?  WHAT?!?

Well, duh.  I've been hinting at that one for a while, folks.  You had to have seen it coming.  Right now, it's ONLY manifesting in the form of Territories and Domains NOT stripping the effects of GhostRock from you, once you leave the Domain.  Walk in sick, you can be sane while you're there, but once you leave, you're sick again.

Are you as sick as you were when you entered the Domain/Territory upon exiting?

Yeppers.

Does dying clear me of GhostRock Sickness?

Yeppers.

If you haven't found out, ICly, about this effect, you DO NOT KNOW. 

Wait. domains? really?  What about if I already got "cured"? am I still cured?

Yeppers.  Nothing that happened in the past changes, only stuff that happens from here forward are affected by the Domain/Territory porosity issue.

Do the Hotel Issues that occurred, pushing BotB off, is your timeline for the rest of the year  now screwy?

again, yeppers.  we're working currently to figure out where to take things so that DEXCON is fun for everybody, and GhostRock Sickness isn't making folks so nuts that they can't operate as functional Avatars.  A few players are ]--[ close to finding a medicinal cure.

What Type of Damage does GhostRock Fire cause?

Dering and I are working on ironing out math for both GhostRock Fire and Smoke Damage calculations, as things are developing.
