Calling a cabal power an "anti-roleplay tool" is a very bad way to get immortals to listen to your suggestion. I think it's a good suggestion, too, so it's a shame. n/t

> Nothing pisses me off more than a skill/spell/cabal power that seems to be wholistically anti-roleplay. If there is ONE ability in the entire game that is anti-roleplay it's gibberish, especially when it's done to somebody that isn't in your range.

> You try roleplaying in a roleplaying environment and some asshole 20 or so ranks above you comes up and gibberishes you for no other reason than that you were speaking your mind.

> Can we see the duration of gibberish on out-of-range characters taken down to 1 tick? I mean, faerie fog doesn't last as long on people not in your range and probably for good reason. There's no reason for an anti-roleplay tool such as gibberish to last 8 ticks or whatever on out-of-range characters.
