<![CDATA[Sextants]]>Hi all,

When you stand in any wilds and use a sextant, over and over, the coordinates change - therefore sextants are useless! Odd one that.

A worn/loose sextant isn't likely to work as well as a prestine sextant. Through age (if degradation is added) and repeated use, it will eventually become damaged.

It's simple geometry. Surely that defeats the purpose of actually using a sextant.

Might as well delete the item type completely, because certainly from my own point of view as a mort, I wouldn't bother using it if there was a chance it would give me completely useless coordinates. =p

If you absolutely HAVE to add an unreliability factor to this, why not go with reality and base it on how much visibility/cloud cover there is.
