Racial Abilities

[Atraos]

Ok, just realised i, as a drow, can now cast faerie fire.
Question

How exactly do i use this ability?
I cannot Cast
I cannot Invoke

Both with repsonse you cannot cast spells

Help please:)

It's entirely possible that the mechanism for doing so has not yet been put in place.

The addition of these innate racial abilities is a very recent development, and all the follow-on kinks are still being worked on.

(If there is a command current in place for this, I'm unaware of it.)

What would a good command word for this be? OUTLINE? TRACE? FF?

Older abilities, such as shapechange or turn undead, use the words themselves as keywords. I have always found them easy to use this way. I would suggest we keep with this method for the new racial abilities or possibly a one word command like 'faeriefire' for the multiple word racials. Simple, easy to use, and keeps with current ability commands. Many folks will likely cut it down to "FF" or whatever with alias anyways.

Aha! Word from upstairs is that INVOKE is the command to employ any new racial abilities. However, it looks as though it needs a tweak before it will work for non-spellcasters. Putting that in as bug 925. I'll update here when it is fixed!

That works too...
