I'll start with a bug.
Crimbo 2020 items and skills are out of standard.
The skills have an issue.
The skill books are correctly marked as out of Standard.
The items summoned by skills are correctly marked as out of Standard.
The skills are NOT publicly marked as out of standard.
They appear on your charsheet - unlike, for example, Lock Picking, which is also out of standard.
They don't work:
But since they appear on the charsheet, we think they do.
1) KoL bug: the skills should be marked as out of standard
2) Because they are not so-marked, Breakfast tries to cast them.
3) We do not recognize that the casting failed.
- We deduct MP (although it is corrected by the next api.php call)
- We say it was successfully cast
Suggested actions:
1) Send a bug report to KoL.
2) Kludge those skills as out of standard and/or not available.
3) Recognize when skill casting fails, rather than blithely deducting MP and reporting a happy success.
Edit:
I have to wonder how many other skills are listed on the charsheet as known but might actually be out of standard.
Always Never Not Guzzling is a passive skill, listed on charsheet and list of skills.
But:
Never Don't Stop Not Striving is the skill book that grants it, and that item is out of standard.
Is it REALLY active for me? +25% booze drop?
