[35+5v50+19][40+5v46+19][33+5v17+19][4+5v24+19] [8+15v40+19]
Kyle tanks the hits like a champ; while most of the attacks bounce off of or damage only his armor, a few soldiers manage to hit hard enough to deal 5[38-36+10] or 60 damage in total. Well, it's halved, so only 30.

It's not my system, its your proposed patch to my system. I recall that some number was added to the difference. I can't remember what the number was for the life of me.

Check terms of all applicable warranties and insurance things.

1. But if you're invulnerable, isn't that basically what's going to happen? The only difference is that one forces you to realize that hey, your character is immortal, while the other gives the illusion that your character might be able to lose.

I never asked if it was a different car, I asked if it was made of different parts. And since Kriyella's claim was basically "The clone is made of different parts, so it isn't me," Theseus's paradox applies. Regardless of the exact transition point, by the end the car is made of different parts, and by Kriyella's argument is different. Since the human body also replaces its parts, Kri's argument means that you die several times in your life.

Basically...context is key. As are the last few words.
And chalk that up to a reading comprehension failure on my part. In my defense, it is a Theseus's paradox until the last... 4 words.
I told you those words were key.
And yeah, I was trying to evoke that kind of argument, to point out that Kriyella's argument implies said paradox pretty heavily.

So Grate's brain is a car now. This is some fascinating stuff.
It's an analogy.
The car, not the brain.

How in the world did someone gain reflexive reincarnation anyhow?
Well, Grate got squished under a rock, and someone came up with the idea to use vaguely-undefined quantum stuff STEPHEN HAWKING can do to revive him. piecewise said it would work on a five, and that...other things would happen on a 1 or a 6. We rolled a six.
Eventually, I got control of Grate back.

1. Nope. I find they're much more fun when I can shrug off enemies.
2. They obviously mean a bit to much. Maybe a d75?
1. Would you find it even more fun if I just said Kyle beat them all up with his awesome?
2. Perhaps.

*shoots you in the face with an intelligence-boosting gun*
*predictably, nothing happens because you're too smart as it is*
Thank you.

((Kyle is wearing power armor and takes halved damage regardless so I think him taking zero damage is kind of fitting. And also, this is why we use the D100.))
1. Has it occurred to you that games are a little less fun when you can literally ignore massively superior numbers of enemies who aren't OP?
2. We're using the d50 so that stats mean something.

Also, wonder if they float.
I've heard they sink.

in a very low (0m) orbit of Kerbin?
If it's not floating, it would be more than zero meters.

Conny glares at the demons and rapidly shoots 5 light orbs at the demons.
((So sen was attacked by Demons? Good, Then I can do this plan then.))

Sen uses her binding Spell on her allies (minus Kyle, Loki, and Andras)! Don't worry, This is part of Sen's ultimate plan.
[To:Everyone but Angel and Nuriel's Bracelets] <Ok, Before you start to get mad, I'm going to trick the demon's into thinking I'm betraying you all and joining Seham's side. Once I'm close enough to him I'm going to enact the next phase of my plan, pretending to trade you all for Nuriels servitude. Once that's done, I will use my secret weapon on Seham. Any thoughts? Also, I don't know if Angel and Fire Butt's bracelet was ever found, so Make sure not to communicate over open channel that could give away anything about the plan. Understood?>
Noted.

((Damage roll minus the End roll?))

"Oh no. You're attacking me. Whatever shall I do."
Kyle says completely deadpan.
((Problem is, I don't want attacks to do 0 damage unless the defender rolls a lot better. Otherwise, a decent Endurance makes you invulnerable from anything non-OP.))

2727
What, the skillset of "somehow got ahold of a book with all demons' true names in them"?

True, but you died in bits and pieces.  You never ceased to be.
If what makes you is the collection of atoms or whatever that make up your body, then you're dying bit by bit.
Look at it this way: If you take apart a car bit by bit, and replace every part with a piece that is fundamentally different, do you have a car made from different parts?

'Kay.  Why not say 'Grate's death thing' or any of the other nonambiguous terms?  There's only one big thing that involves Grate's death in particular, so there's no question what you're talking about.  With a rose, all it's obvious traits are shared by other things.  With Grate's respawns?  You can use any number of terms, and there's no ambiguity.  Hell, we've been discussing it without being confused as to what the other person is referring to even once.
You're not exactly arguing against the need to find a term...

Then why can't the clone change without being considered not you?
The clone is it's own entity.  Regardless of whether or not it diverges from you, it's technically not you.
And why is that? What makes you you? Why do the clones' changes make it not-you, but your changes--which are not inherently more or less changing than the clone's--leave you you?

...Isn't that basically what Grate does?
Yurp.  But I consider him not-immortal for a different reason.
...Which is?
