You don't have to worry about the sharks if you're on team evil GWG. :P
You say that like I should remember who is on which team.

Could a cleric of sufficient power and knowing the "Ressurection" spell [I believe that's the name, who'd been turned into an intelligent undead ressurect himself? This seemed like the best spot to ask.
Yes. Resurrection and True Resurrection can turn a willing undead into a living thingy.

t doesn't sound right because it turns out that it isn't right. I thought that a roll of 1 = 1', 10 = 10', etc. But no, its not like that.
It's like that for long jumps.

Turns out that Jump is pretty much useless. I'm going to go change spells.
Bah. I'm going to be using Jump a good bit. The idea of a whale-shaman person jumping onto enemy ships sounds awesome. I just need to work on combat prowess for it to be worth it. (Or I need to be able to carry my allies somehow. Any ideas on that front?)

Aquatic Human would still be LA +0, since humans are kind of statistically weak.
Um...

That is a good point, but I'm starting to see Doppelgangers as a sort of gimmick. They sound very cool, but in truth, I'm seeing it as more of a leash holding me back from full Assassin power.
Have you considered changelings? They have most of the appearance-changing schtick of the doppelganger, but none of the LA or RHD.

And good luck getting that many shurikens with all those enchantments as well :P
1. Shuriken is a Japanese word, so its plural is the same as its singular. One shuriken, thirty-two shuriken.
2. Shuriken are treated as ammunition for pricing. Add another eight to make it a nice round number and deal with potential loss or something, and that's less than 80% the price of a similarly-enchanted weapon.

Fighting Gods is not a challenge at level 20.
Actually, it is.
Gods often have 30+ class levels on top of 20 outsider HD and a variety of divine abilities. Past that, they cheat.

Join this Stetting thing.
((Stet literally means, "let it stand". I picked up using it from Larry Niven's Ringworld books, but it seems that it's an actual term used in proofreading to indicate that a selected edit should not be performed.
So yeah, I've been using it to say that I've nothing to do for that phase.))
Meh.

Delphinium re-checks the other heroes and any PRT members for that strange second mind.  She moves to the side of the room and motions for Selina and Sliver to do the same.  If this was going to be a problem, she would rather be ready for it.  "We may have to engage Master protocols, Argonaut and Bullhit are different."
Nope, just them. That she can see, at least.
"...Different how? Different from when?"

"Well, I'm considered a Master because my powers involve control, Master protocols are implemented when someone from the team is potentially compromised by a master. That said, i'd like to go above board with this and talk to Slither before he gets here. Sliver, do you know where he is?
"Slither's probably talking with someone."

((As you might guess, Slither's return is dependent on finishing his chat with Steven. Or on 11 o'clock coming up. Or someone bringing up a major problem, like Bones or a Terror or a Master possibly controlling capes.))

15139
Hmm. I'd call it Mannequin, but that's a crappy name, so no.
Golem? Golem.

"Golem seems a bit...you know...dehumanizing. I was thinking of something nicer, like Alan. Do you like Alan?"
The creation makes what seems to be a noncommittal gesture.

((I believe I have made a critical. Unless the -50 penalty keeps me from dealing with that.))
((It doesn't. I can hardly wait to see what happens.))

15140
"I did not know giving birth would be like that... fuck."
"It wouldn't be, for most of us. Well, most of us capable of bearing children."

Well at least it's over now?
Will rolls his eyes.
"Protip: You don't say that. It's asking for trouble."

"B-b-baby...? I... er... o-o-okay..." Selina is really confused.
<But-->
<It's my body too, Nuriel. Let me have it.>
<...I guess.>
Nuriel sets Selina on her feet before letting Angel take over. She walks over to Marie's child.
"Hi!"

"Do you have a name, my child?"
She nods. "U-um... B-blossom..."
"Hi, Blossom! That's a pretty name. Mine's Angel."

Quote
Selina stops for a moment.

"Wh-what d-d-d-did I sh-show you...?" Selina is really confused, but also may be about to figure this out. She keeps following.

"You, the Summoner, and the Hell-tart becoming... familiar."
<Who are you calling hell-tart, divine harlot? Um...would "adulterer" be a better term?>

...and then everyone that isn't immune to memetics PASSES THE FUCK OUT and then wakes up the next day as she finishes saying the name as their mind blocks out Marie's True Name.
Angel passes out. Nuriel takes back over.
"That was brief."
Will covers his ears just in time before checking on Stella.
"Damn. Not sure I can carry her anywhere. At least she isn't transformed." Having said this, Will tries to pick up Stella and move her to somewhere more comfortable. After this fails, he tries to carefully drag her elsewhere.

"For the record, Angel would be all over the hugging if she was conscious."

"I think I'll step out of my comfort zone, too. How about a fish taco and this mango smoothie thing?"
"Ooh, neat. We're both trying new stuff." Alice glances out the window. "So...what else do you think we could do?"

>A: "Hm...think we could pay for our food, then eat it outside?"
>B: "Not sure what we can do during dinner, but maybe we could figure out something for after?"

@Gwg: I have to admit, that's an awesome character concept...
Mind if I ask what's so awesome about it?
Hrmm, what, huh.
Oh! :V
It's just the concept of an aquatic shaman-which is pretty sweet in concept-your character is, for all intents and purposes, witnessing the world through an alien viewpoint. It's also the sort of unique character I like-coincidentally, it's actually a theoretical mash up of two of my favorite RP characters-one of which was spirit shaman and the other was a merwoman. :P
I mean, it just really fires the imagination, doesn't it? You made a character I would love to play. And for that, I love you. As a friend.
Tldr is awesome!
Thanks.

And it's not the water you have to worry about so much as it is getting back onto the ships :P
How heavy is he?

Also, d20 srd says shuriken act exactly as ammunition, which is destroyed on hit and on 50% of misses. The section on magic ammo reiterates that magical ammo acts the same way.
Check the OP. Magic items cannot be destroyed by conventional means. This includes being fired/thrown.

I doubt you could jump while floating in water though, just saying :P
You can.
There's even a feat that makes it a lot better.

Note to self: Chum the water. :p
Note to self: Wild Empathy checks!

With Jump, I can guarantee a 14' jump.
Oh my... That's onto the deck.
If I take a ten, I get 23'.
That should be in the rigging.
On a crit, that's 33', which towards the top of a short caravel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caravel
That doesn't sound right. My guy has Flying Fish Leap and a swim speed, and taking 10 doesn't get him more than 6 feet out of the water, which means that he would be capable of grabbing the edge of the caravel (that's 6 feet from the lowest point, ie the feet). How do you get 23 feet on a 10? That would require a result of 92, or a bonus of +82. Did you read the long jump rules, and you only have +13?

15144
The creation looks at Darnos, confused.
Angel nods proudly.

"Yup! Not sure what to name him, though. Or her. Are you a him or a her?"
The creation does not respond.

15145
Marie does come to her senses.

"What the fuck?"
Will pokes his head into the room.
"You seem to have given birth to...a person of some sort, I think."

15146
((Im under the impression that the drains arent blocked by forcefields because that would defea the purpose of having a toilet.
Im basically phasing my shoulder into the toilet so that the forcefield is in line with my armpit then im sliding my arm through the wall of the plumbing on the other side of the field and grabbing the device that way.))
You are entirely correct. Just making sure I understood your intent.

Elena and Selina head to the conference room and await the arrival of those not yet present.
So they do. There are a few others present, mostly heroes--Argonaut (right at the front of the room, preparing his presentation), Bullhit, Momentum, Prefab, Scatterstep, and Sliver. There is also one bloody man that looks familiar to Selina and Delphinium, but they can't place him. Thalsian has no such issues--he recognizes Selina immediately.
[16]
Delphinium notices something...odd about Argonaut's mind. It looks exactly the same, but...it's like rereading a book you loved as a child and realizing that it was a metaphor for the Holocaust or promoting misogyny or really badly written or something. The same main-mind, second-mind thing that is in Selina's mind is sort of present in Argonaut's, except that the secondary one, the angry one in Selina's head, is more orderly and more subtle, almost absent. Now that she recognizes it, she sees it present in Bullhit, a little stronger.
What's going on?

((Does Kevin's power immunity beat my emotional detection?  Going to assume yes.))
((It's blurry, and emotional control completely absent, but you can still sense the emotions. At this level, it's more strong power resistance than outright immunity. Not that Delphinium would be likely to notice that at the moment.))



Steven leans into the toilet, through the plumbing system, and out of the force field. It feels odd when he sticks his arm through the pipes with water in them, like the "him" is expanding, almost losing cohesion a little. He has begun reaching around for the force field generators--the PVC pipe was placed right between four of them--when his thoughts are interrupted by Slither.
"You aren't making it easier for yourself by trying to escape, you know. First you don't even pretend to show remorse, now you try to...escape, vandalize, whatever? I was hoping that this was a misunderstanding, a mistake, but this is seeming less and less likely."

15147
The creation is still pounding on Selina and Victoria's door. If it wasn't impossible to destroy, it would be long gone.
"Um...maybe you should be gentler?"
The creation stops pounding and places one hand on the door, before beginning to tap on the door with one finger.

being a flying bear that shoots lazors out his/her eyes causing a wave of destruction in its wake.

I found the razors tyop way too funny. I keed to get to sleep way early tonight...

15149
Selina's mind unconscious sends to Demons Run and Yuri several images of her fade to blacks with Nuriel and Maria. She doesn't know that this has happened, and is still dreaming.
This does not help her RAEG.
Nuriel takes note of DR's raeg. She assumed DR is jealous because Nuriel is holding Selina, and takes a few steps away.

Selina wakes up a little, not sure what was happening as she was a little disoriented.

<Meme don't tickle me... hehe...> Selina may still be partially dreaming.

Nuriel increases the magnitude of the hug.
<Selina, are you okay if Nuriel puts you down? I want to say hi to Marie's baby! Who isn't really a baby, but you know what I mean.>
