The Fisher god is the only "good" god according to Neiden's perspective.((The parentheses imply that he isn't all that good--it's just that all the other gods are evil. Which includes yours truly.))
((When did I add a golden ampersand?((Yeah, I'm not really intimidated by a golden ampersand.))((I am not my character. Look to the left.((Do not annoy someone four size categories larger, who has double-digit DR, fiery breath, and spells that best those of the greatest mages.))((Who happens to be in the body of a small child. And constantly feels inadequate and useless. Because so far that's exactly what he is))
And if it's a D or a Spore critter, reload then look again.))
((Except not all that much really. All the current Tyranid Hive Fleets are either destroyed or preoccupied right now. Behemoth got smashed at Maccrage; sure they devastated the planet, but the Imperium's on such a massive scale that even the chapter world of the smurfs is replaceable - they recovered, after all. I forget how exactly Kraken died, but IIRC it split into a bunch of tiny fleets that either starved to death in transit between worlds or died whenever they hit any resistance - hell, the frikkin Tau managed to kill a Hive Fleet! And Leviathan got all tied up in fighting the Orks thanks to Kryptmann, which actually isn't the dumb move a lot of people seem to think it was considering that if they really wanted to, the Eldar or a Necron dynasty or someone with access to sun busting tech could go to Octarius and make the sun go supernova, wiping out that particular threat. Even if we do accept the conjecture that the Nids have galaxy sized fleets, that really only equals into several thousand fleets at most. Sure, the Imperium would take heavy losses, but if every other faction stopped attacking them and let them recover for a bit they'd kick the crap out of the bugs from space.((And there are trillions more where they came from. It's all just a drop in the bucket. And um...how big of galaxies are you imagining?))
But that's a bit too off topic for me right now.
...oh you mean in the quantum cloning sense. That wouldn't make a meaningful difference I think.((It depends on how fast the clones form. 50 kilograms of biomass, several times a second, makes for an impressive rush.))
((Like that makes me feel better. "I don't need an infinite supply of biomass until I get cut off from the kitchens or they run out of food."))((Come to think of it...Scratch the Altered, we need to keep Xan away from Grate.))((Well now you gave me the idea.
Hell, it could work, though I don't really need it what with the kitchens.))
((So, we can infer from that point, the Altered absorb biomass at an incredible rate, something the Tyranids cannot do. The Altered could literally just absorb them on the run, as in, suck them in like some giant fleshy vacuum cleaner. Out evolve that suckers!))((One of the Tyranids' secondary schticks is copying the tricks of their enemies. Drop a lump of Altered flesh into one of their digester pods, and they'll start making Tyranids that have the same quick-biomass-absorbing properties as the Altered, plus the Tyranids' other tricks.))
Dang. I need to figure out how to enchant stuff, or bind it to his will, or something.Cast the spell on Thuun, letting him fly! And, you know, move under his own power. When he wakes up. Until then, it'll make him easier to carry without dragging him!You'll have to concentrate on the spell, which will likely incur a penalty to other magic until Thuun wakes up and can control it himself. You're not quite good enough to let the running spell just sit at the back of your mind, unlike with alacrity. Hold it for a few turns and it'll become second nature, though.
Huh. I was about to tell you what'd happen on a six when I remembered you have a dynamic bonus. Damn, I wanted him to fly off Team Rocket style.Like I don't have enough of an undeserved reputation for horrible miscasts.
And he's done very well with them. Why is he an evil god, then?What about Neyravah?Well, you haven't really messed around with mortals outside the Drakes.

((Oh shit. I just thought of something horrible.((...Crap. You just gave piecewise an idea.))
What if the Altered got Grate?
Seriously, he is effectively an infinite supply of biomass, and they turn biomass into themselves ._.))
((Goddamn it USEC((Alright, I'll get right on it!))
