We're pleased to bring you the first batch of classleads from the 2017 q1 round. Here are the details:

Aeonics
-------
* ACCELERATE can no longer be BOOSTed while prone. Standard accelerate can still be used while prone.
* ACCELERATE can no longer be performed if you suffer from two broken arms.
* TIMELOOP can no longer be performed while paralysed or entangled.
* AEON has had its equilibrium cost increased.
* PREEMPT now requires both user and target be at the same elevation for it to fire.

Alchemy
-------
* SILVER will also strip the PHASE state. It also knocks off balance.
* SILVER has had its equilibrium reduced.

Artifice
--------
* SCALD now fades on its own if not cured.

Chivalry
--------
* The ability to RAZE the SPEED defence has been removed. Knights have received a slight accuracy upgrade to account for this. All other forms of RAZE have also lost this functionality.

Conjuration
-----------
* When you pull someone out of PHASE with an EYE sigil, they will now be knocked off balance.
* The effect given by THROWing a STAR sigil now lasts longer.

Domination
----------
* Reduced how aggressively LYCANTHA damage scales with number of afflictions on the target.

Dragoncraft
-----------
* REND now only requires one arm be unbroken to perform.

Evileye
-------
* Slightly reduced the effect the CLUMSINESS affliction has on DEADEYES' fail rate.

Shindo
------
* THUNDERSTORM no longer does damage. It now damages the nerves, causing everyone in the location to suffer from a hamstring effect for a short time.

Striking
--------
* You may now perform ICEFIST/VOIDFIST/FLAMEFIST/AIRFIST following a Two Arts slash, but only when in the stance that supports said fist type. So sanya for voidfist, arash for flamefist, etc.

Subterfuge
----------
* The ability to FLAY the SPEED defence has been removed.

Terminus
--------
* LITANY has had its channel time increased to four seconds.
* LITANY now incurs a short balance loss on successful completion (for the user).
* LAMENT now has a message on each time it powers up.
* LAMENT now works on the initiator as well as their allies.
* URAIAD now links base stats (pre artefacts/class bonuses) and will not work on dragons. Note that linking someone's lesserform then them dragonforming will also not work.

Misc
----
* The UNIVERSALAFFLICTIONS config option no longer shows when you get a hidden affliction - this had unintended side effects.
* Mob TELLS will no longer be recorded on your tell history if that mob is loyal to you in some form.
* CRUCIBLE talismans will now only fire off of deathsights that happened in their local area.
* There is now a third-person message when someone places a soulfire crucible in a room.
