Just as a note, but those things have been tried in the past and almost all ended in failure.

Yeah. Personally, I'd enjoy having an alternate universe where someone takes control of a different type of creature, and we see what would happen if it was that (and not tentablobs) which went strange mood with their evolutions.

*innocent whistling*

Subtle.

I've started a few sketches for fun, though they're not very good. I'll do a sketch of the team sometime and find a way to put it up online, though I guess it'll just be provisional till someone who can ACTUALLY draw properly does one

I can't wait to see them!

(I'm not entirely certain what the "dark magic" is. I figured I could figure that out at my leisure. It just seems to fit with a dark-colored moon, whatever "dark" magic is. I suppose it depends on how magic works--if most magic is photogenic, "dark magic" could be antimagic.)

I suppose we could stick a Caged One in the moons.

I WILL MAKE THE MOONS REGARDLESS OF SCREWING UP DERM'S PLAN.

I might be willing to change them, though. How do they not fit?

What would it take to spread to several, wildly different environments? It may cause divergent evolution, but then again, it is one major feature of evolution.

Agreed. I'd like it if we formed the ancestors of the dominant clade.

I assume that already happens. However, those who spread simply become another species, and hence are no longer in our control.

Still, there's no proof that our clade is the dominant one.
The most interesting clade? Sure. The dominant species? Yes, and surprisingly early. Dominant clade? No.

Evolve crude real-time electrical telepathy.
Fine electrical impulses from the sides of the Slicers can be interpreted by other slicers' electrical senses as the transmitter's visual sensations. Our evolved brain allow us to analyze the signal and "see what they see", and combine it with our own vision. Large groups will in time be able to have a single unified vision field. It is NOT a hivemind, just shared vision.
Live in less open environments. Dense forests, caves... Be nocturnal. Be the night. BE THE BAT.

Anyone feel up to drawing us again?

who are we waiting on?

I think just me to find enough free time to make a turn.

Could I get a trait that gave me a bonus to Lor on mechanical items but a negitive on ancient, magical items?

Call it Mechanics Eye: Mchn for short?

If yes add it too my character please

Hm...Well, maybe once a mechanical item comes into play. I've been meaning to make one of these items mechanical, but it's hard when so many of the abilities are so obviously magical.
And when I've forgotten.

I came up with three new trait ideas, if you're still looking:

-snip-

Vampire seems neat, though balance is an issue..
Guardian is a neat idea, but "protecting" is harder to define. Would it be killing someone who has tried to attack the guarded? The other issue is that I'd have to strike a careful balance between "Who would want to be some guy's bodyguard for that little?" and "Whoo! So much free loot and power!"
Soul-Linked sounds neat, but unless I can actually find two people interested in that and they spawn at the same time...

Another trait idea.

Collector - Bonus skill points are based solely on how much loot they have. The more loot they have in their possession the more skill points they have, but if they lose their loot, they lose their skill points too.

Meh.

Another one:

Make Rap, Not War: Killing people has no effect on you, but you are unaffected by losing a rap battle.

Interesting idea, but it needs tweaking to not be weak. Like, 3.5-Monk weak.

Find something interesting to do in the pod. Maybe there's a Tinker-capable computer?

...Hm...Shame I don't have any artistic skills.
