The problem isn't if nanites can manipulate molecules, it's if they can do so with enough precision and power to make a macrostructure.

Nah the problem was, if you have nanorobots make, for example a chair*, how do they know when to stop with the legs, and start with the rest of the chair. Being as tiny as they are, they can't really oversee their work.

That's a problem of precision. You also mentioned problems of power earlier this very post.

Or we use a method similar to Tesla's proposal, where it's wireless(Tesla was awesome).

Doesn't that require putting absurd amounts of electricity in the air, making it horribly inefficient for almost anything except providing wireless power worldwide?

The other problem is indeed programming. To me, this is solved by having a centralized computer, or control device, depending on the scale of the construction, have the blueprints for what you're going to do, and give the nanobots instructions based on it. It would be silly, to me, not to have a controlling device. Especially in the case of weaponized nanobots, since if they just keep going...bye bye ships/planet/station.

How would you get the nanomachines to listen?

Pout at the laws of the universe. Determine if pouting changes them.

Wonder why we put it in the Skill Tree to begin with.

See if we can buy a new spearhead to put on the spear, if the Dual-Element thing doesn't work.

Ninja leading to changing of above post:

Leave the Skill Tree alone! I doubt it'll break any more than it already is, and this way we might get a dual-element weaponhead out of it! If we repair it, we're better off than we were, and if we can't, then we can't get back to where we were in the first place.

Sounds like a plan!

PROPOSED INVENTORY MANAGEMENT:

Put Cherish's base staff in Storage, give Ciro the Electric Key and Goombess the Healing Potion. The latter is predicated on the assumption that in the coming boss battle Ciro and Cherish will hang out together and attack the Big Wisp from med range while Goombess stomps on little Wisps; this leaves her most vulnerable to being ganged up on, and also the most likely to be cut off from Cherish and her healing.

FAKEEDIT: Still in favor of boxing Cherish's base staff. 1d2 Ice Damage is still better than 1d4 untyped against Wisps, since it'll deal 2d2 on a hit (higher average.)

Sounds like another plan!

SO MANY NINJA!

Wait, maybe we can stick something else on there and make it a DUAL ELEMENTAL WEAPON.

TO THE SHOPS!

Wait TO THE BANK and THEN to the SHOP!

Fine by me!

"No! Isn't that stuff supposed to give you nightmares?"

Oh, and ask around the shop if there are any weapon repair places. And check the menu of what's left of the Ice Spear.

You think you're cool like 40k?
Then I'll ruin your day today!
You're not an ork, who battles on,
You're as cool as a daemon-spawn!

McDreich, small vocabulary,
It's extremely easy to see
How you will soon be taken down
And lose your 'maginary crown.

You Say that Iam's rhymes repeat?
Don't you see the same in your tweet
And twat of what you try to rap
And sound worse a Siri app!

And now that trashing Max is done,
My preparation has begun.
Who will be next to challenge me
And the next from GreatWyrmGold flee?

The fountain water can't be used as a reagent. If you don't know why, you missed the whole discussion from the last several pages.

Worth a shot, though.

Get it out, and back on the spear. Before stuff explodes

Really: The GM has stated often that combining negative and positive things is a (very) bad thing. Acid is negative.

We don't want to loose our spear to.

Aside from fear of explosions, +1

(Positive =/= Ice)

D, we should stay out of the way of people who know what they're doing.

Also, wonder how a singularity can be bigger than a ship when it is by definition a single point.

Stupid bear...
