Figuratively speaking. Let's not literally dig any deeper into her house.

« on: June 05, 2014, 02:07:34 pm »I hate to say it, but I think the negatives for Selina should be left to Cado. He has done a good job of keeping her from becoming too OP.Yeah, I guess. If Cado's willing to suggest alternatives for downsides he doesn't like, I'll see if I can make them work. (Or he could assemble his own version of Selina's ability.)
It would be sweet if I knew how ready we are. GWG?I'll get to it if RL doesn't intervene.
Which it probably will. But hey, the exact numbers won't matter until we get into combat or something, right?
(Any suggestions for prioritization?)
So... her small 25-50 stat summons are okay, but once she gets to 100+ territory shes threatening her ability to act.The way Selina's ability is now, it's probably a better idea to make her creations ahead of time.

(Outside of the bracelets which I regret... atleast the mass production of them, the 2 original ones were a high point I think.)QuoteEh. They were useful, I guess, but I suspect that had they never been created, the game wouldn't have gotten out of hand so easily.idea for negative perk: vulnerable to silver and salt, and that is a kind of vulnerability that people would really know about, as it is sorta commonThis makes sense.so her paper stuff does not use mana, but instead runs out rather quickly if no paper is left around?Agreed. ALthough with a bit off fiddling, I could probably get it to work...let's not try, though.
:/
that's kinda big.

Well...being able to make just about anything is a very useful ability. It needs some nerfs.
And she doesn't go unconscious unless she strains her abilities. So, no summoning assault cannons or new fairies in the middle of combat.

« on: June 05, 2014, 01:03:00 pm »Why? If consistent exposure to magic restriction did that a lot of people would be pissed off wouldn't they?Depends. Do you have dissociative identity disorder? Because you're really the only person to complain about nerfs much. The only other person was Projeck, who was concerned because Tobias's main ability was pretty much ignored (so he was basically trying to substitute his 3D gear for his power).
Which reminds me...I should probably add a restriction on the 3D gear that it can't be used in enclosed spaces. Because it can't, it won't be, and Tobias should get a discount for that.

Examine remains of subjects. Do the remains of subjects who ate each type of pill look the same as the other subjects who ate that type of pill? Are they all different? Or are they all fleshy?
Look deeper into making homunculli. Specifically, how much quicker and cheaper could it be to make a mindless, weak, slow, and otherwise cheap-but-human/sod-sized being than to make an actual sod? Give or take.
Get more test subjects. Weigh them and determine the approximate fraction of median human body mass that they are. Make and weigh one of each type of pills created last time, then grind them up and put the dust into labelled jars. Remove an appropriate dosage--that is, (mass pill)*(mass subject/MHBM)--from the jars for each subject, dissolve it in water, and feed the water to the subjects. Observe results.
Gather more cabeiri unless those didn't end up anything like the similar human consumers of the pills. In that case, gather more lab rodents.
Spoiler: Form--Project Asartes, Phase 1 (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Little Stuff (click to show/hide)
Make it a pistol-shaped bit connected to a generator on the forearm. Maybe let the electric part allow electro-pistolwhipping or somesuch, but it isn't a priority by any means. Call it the Crimson Electrolaser Pistol (CELP). Compare it to the Red Hand as far as price and such goes; would it be about the same? Could I make it a longarm-addition like I thought making a normal laser in the above spoiler (probably a more integrated one, with the generator on/in the stock or something)?
I told you I'd be getting in multiple days of stuff! If you're going to limit me, the experiments are top priority, followed by the stuff in the spoiler, followed by the CELP.

I'll just have to put several turns' worth of experiments up at once after I get the next results.
Have fun being absent from your home state, and more relevantly doing whatever you're doing there.

Well, for starters, children wearing things to be sexier is disturbing in and of itself. Feeling the need to do so to not feel inferior? Even more so.

« on: June 05, 2014, 09:35:35 am »uh because the warrens are not full of pedophiles so she's got to augment her sexiness with rings as to not feel inferior and develop complex mindproblems you know ffs would implement even if they don't make much sense just to fuck with us?...
what's wrong with you, wanting us to not parent this well
What?

((I wonder...is the weight put on his limbs proportional to the magnitude of the error or not? Easy way to test: Change one word of that, then next question give an answer which is completely unexpected and, hence, very very wrong.)

-1 to drilling.
-1 to stealing Cleanbot. We don't even have the inventory space, and I don't think that's a one-slot thing.
+1 to recruiting cleanbot iff we get the Ring of Sexiness from...Cherish? Why does the child have the Ring of Sexiness? What is wrong with us? I mean, specifically relevant to this issue.

« on: June 05, 2014, 08:30:52 am »also, holy baby jesus that wall of text for summoning.Reread the rules. I took pains to make sure that you could use those rules. The only difference is that I've put PP cost to it. (That, and I've imposed a maximum duration of half an hour at a time.)
would it really be so horrible to just stick to the summoning rules we have? I mean, to summon a shadow equal in stats to the PCs, he has to roll a 9, his mag is 20, so he only has a 55% chance that it will work (and having *that* high in mag should enable him to do some serious magicing), takes a turn of delay before it can act and even than will only stay for a limited amount of time.
I do not find that overpowered at all. The limited duration really is the main balancing factor for strong summons, as they only give a temporary advantage
Well woopdy frikkening do. You don't like gods as PCs, if I remember right most everyone was against it as well, do you want a medal?No, and she also doesn't want gods as PCs. You could have probably figured both of those out by reading her post.
Because you're easily the second most negative person in this game next to GWG.Hey!
Arguments aside, no PC gods. Look at any forum game where a loonie acquires godhood if you want a reason why.Or most games where the players start out as gods, for that matter.
If negative means getting things done then guilty, I am getting things done.If that's what kj meant, I retract my objection.
btw, question, do we even need he bracelets? I mean, what happened to good old cellphones to stay in contactWell, if we're going by either my version of Selina's power or by the "common-sense balancing phase 1" we discussed, Selina can't make magic items at all. So we'd better not need the bracelets.?
Especially since advancing magitek probably means better cell phone coverage with better technology. Like, cell phones work indoors, too.

« on: June 05, 2014, 12:26:13 am »also, how is a greek girl with control of blood the creator of the universeAs I understand it, the creator of the universe was bound into a Japanese lineage and somehow this made her only able to screw with blood. Ask ragnarok, if you can; lately, though, he's been scarcer than Elf.
By the way, what's been happening the last dozen pages or so? Maybe two dozen? Anything of note happen since we took down the Order?
