Revision - Mechanics - Restrict Combat Animations

I know I seem like a guy that likes to take a lot of the fun away, but, I was thinking, "We should take a lot of the fun away! I'll go make another suggestion."

Anyways, For those of you who don't know, there are a set of alternative combat animations IG. If you want to run around like a ninja, type !e ninja. If you want to float around like Magneto, type !e arcane.

They are quite cool, but being available to all I think may ruin some of the immersive elements of what is shaping up to be a highly immersive server. I want some of the less special ones to be available to almost everyone, and of course the restricted ones.... less so.

One idea could be to restrict them to access to certain feats, 1 feat per animation. But, I don't like that, so let's make the requirements all different! (Like unlocking characters in Super Smash Brothers)

Some brainstorming done in a matter of seconds:

!e demonblade	—	10+ (hard ranks) in Intimidate skill AND Cleave
!e warrior	—	Class levels in  Fighter/Ranger/Paladin/Blackguard/Champion/Disciple/WM
!e fencing	—	17+ Dexterity (base score)
!e kensei	—	Exotic proficiency or Weaponmaster levels
!e ninja	—	Exotic proficiency OR 7 Rogue levels OR 3 Shadowdancer levels OR 1 Assassin level
!e barbarian	—	Barbarian Levels or Orc race
!e fly	—	Possession of wings?
!e tiger fang	—	Unarmed weapon proficiency
!e sun fist	—	5 monk levels 16 Strength (base score)
!e dragonpalm	—	5 monk levels 16 Wisdom (base score)
!e bear claw	—	5 monk levels 16 Dexterity (base score)
!e arcane	—	Epic Spell Focus? No idea.

What do you think, guys? Please come up with your own requirements if you like the idea of restricting them. These are just off the top of my head.

I disagree because:
1. It's a semi-sandbox RP setting, limitations are input when people misuse features.
2. Bards can be shafted by this if they try to interpret something, for instance, a bard could use !e arcane and emote floating while he's being hung by near invisible lines.
3. I actually didn't know this existed till now and I want to use it now.
4. Appearance does not equals skill.

However, if restrictions are soft and enough perform allows you to use them, that wouldn't be bad.

Great ideas. I agree and also further suggest maybe giving temporary flying to mages with an added spell of levitation. No real effect beyond RP or something.
