Allow any skill besides those found in the Abilities tab to be temporarily lowered with a slider while NOT in combat. This means if someone has 1000 run speed, they should be able to lower it as much as they want voluntarily. This slider should only affect the amount of IP a player put in their skill. It would temporarily change the amount of IP to anything between 0 and 100% of what they've spent, without reimbursing the player for IP. In essence, it would be like using skill with one arm, two arms, or all limbs tied behind one's back.
Benefits:
- Tradeskillers can get the exact amount of TS they want to make an item the exact QL they want, without terminating
- PvPers (Because high HP is a burden rather than a boon for many professions) can lower their HP before duels, etc and still be able to go and PvM later
- Players helping low levels / orgmates can lower their run speed so that they don't outrun their friends. Especially useful if someone has to go afk for a minute on /follow
- Nano Resistance can be significantly lowered to aid in the testing of nanos on one's self, or on other players.
Hazards:
- Can't really think of one. Some people might be against it because of the Body Development thing, which is why I suggest it only being possible while NOT in combat.
