Give the steampunk man a stovepipe hat and monocle and I'll be happy.And an axe. And a chance to become president.
I should inform you that Blaziken is an uber, as such, Torchic would have to remain un-evolved for 9/10th of the game. Maybe you wish to change your choice?Yeah, probably a good idea.
It's the beginning of Psalm 23. Not Google Translated, taken from a German bible website. Hopefully it's actually correct; I wouldn't have the foggiest.Looked it up to figure out what it was.
And that final 1 wasn't forcing you to cower. It's... well, it's your mental stability. These critters have the ability to erode your mind and will over time. There are ways to restore mental stability, but as long as these bastards keep shrieking you'll keep going crazy. (Don't worry, they can't shriek much.)Whoo. Go me.
Long story short: These creatures are nasty. When I first created them I designed them specifically to be tough to kill, hard to fight and completely and utterly mad. They're living nightmares. <.<; Canonically, their very presence is enough to instill paralysis, but I didn't think I'd subject that to you guys on top of everything else. Like near-immunity to magic.1. Transparent is better. White is just visible on Standard, and sticks out like a sore thumb on any weirdo using Darkling.
I said everyone else was multicellular.Pretty much everyone is already multicellular, so eukaryote.Well, I was asking because...You are little more than a single celled organism.Or are we multicellular?
Species Name: Elephant
Color: Grey
Starting Evolutions:
Trunk-mouth
Eye-tusks
Elephant hoof things
Species Name: Puttle
Color: A greenish, vomit-like color.
Starting Evolutions: A star shaped proboscis for ingesting foodstuffs, Capable of sensing electric fields, Capable of discharging electric energy for small amount of movement.
Species Name: Ballisto-shrimps
Color: maroon.
Starting Evolutions: A four-tined jaw for holding onto food while it is absorbed, A bulbous sack behind the mouth containing proto-eyes and an echolocation organ, a battery of narrowing tubules through which water is squeezed rapidly to move.
Species Name: Xanalok
Color: Purple
Starting Evolutions:
-Hardened spikes all around the outside of the cell membrane
-Increased reproduction rate
-Many tiny filter mouths in the areas where spikes don't cover (should be small)
Species Name: PuffMost of these have 2-3 (underlined) adaptations that don't work on cells. Although...how does a jawed, organed animal have pseudopodes?
Color: Pastel yellow
Starting Evolutions:
-amoebic pseudopodes
-jellyfish-like light sensing organs
-a pincer-esque jaw, much like a bulldog ant
You can spend these on evolving your creature into whatever you can feasibly get it to. For starters, though, you'll want some way of ingesting food. Mouths are traditional for this. After that, some basic sensory organs never hurt anyone, or methods of movement.Mouths and sensory (and other) organs only apply to multicellular organisms.
((You sure? I think I messed up that table pretty badly...somehow...))Quote from: GreatWyrmGold--tables example--ah cheers, i get it now.
((On the other hand...that generator and the storage medium had better be pretty dang well-armored."As for a personal weapon, I'd also like to see if I can make a laser sidearm with an external energy source.. say a lithium-polymer battery, that you hook on your belt, and the pistol would charge up as you have it holstered. It would only be good for one shot at a time, but it could be a pretty good shot for such a small weapon.""i have been considering a similar system for a while now, the basic principle was to replace your suits power supply with a tri-phasic generator connected to a high density energy storage medium, this system would allow your suit to idly build up massive quantities of power which could then be directed into the weapons via electromagnetic induction or specialized connection nodes built into the gloves.
The benefit of this system is that you wont need a dedicated power source for each piece of equipment you possess and you can turn your gloves into powerful tasers with only slight modifications."
It's a bit more complex than that...but yeah, I've run RtD's with d10's and stuff.Also, if it's using a d10, it's technically not an RTD.Roll to Dodge simply means it uses a Die for rolling. The size does not matter, and people have actually made entire classification systems for RtDs that include non D6 rolling methods, and even non-dice methods of obtaining results.
So yes, it's still a RtD.
One question: do we start out as prokaryotes or eukaryotes? This is rather important, to be honest.Pretty much everyone is already multicellular, so eukaryote.
...
Another question: is absorbing chemicals through our cell membranes something we automatically have?
