6 Gnoll warriors, 4 mages and 3 archers.
Oh come on.
Not all patrols are 3 or 4 people. These are the gnolls. they make sure to protect their people.
I know, I know, but seriously, think of the game balance. We have eleven characters, total, and at least one of us is useless in a fight.

Or a penning trap with antimatter inside, that would recharge it to a far greater degree.
Learning new stuff is fun.

((Wait, did Will at any point in time actually examine the stone?))
If he had time between the AnIn's sales pitch and Sanure beating him to the payment, yes.

GWG, here's how you pick it up without hallucinations:

It's a grabbing stick. Simple enough.
Is it even solid?

Also, I think charged bonuses should only act as negative modifiers to reduce overshoots. Because the game will run faster if people don't wait a billion turns to act.
Because people who weren't stuck waiting in the antechamber of a fleshorror were doing that.

Uhm, the system is not limited to +/-1.  There's no cap, as has been pretty well demonstrated by various people in various threads.  Unless I missed a memo from PW.  I'm pretty sure Saint has never rolled anything aside from AUX:5's.

And yes, almost every fleshtech has significant medical training in their backstory.  Previously, a fleshtech's... variable performance was usually handwaved as "You're in a panicked, stressful situation, rather than a nice clean surgical operating room with several helpers and plenty of time.  You'll make mistakes."  It doesn't make sense that a doctor with plenty of time to prepare can't get a guaranteed five.  Or a sniper.  Or a mechanic.  It makes even less sense that the person only has a one in six chance of not making some form of mistake.
Wasn't your comment about people without training?

Quote
Also, why would Xan/whoever being able to get guaranteed fives on uncon rolls be bad?  He could buy two freaking Avatars of War for the tokens he'd need...
If he did that, no problem. If he did it just by building dynamic bonuses for free...

Bwa ha ha.

Anyways, good to know I guess if I ever need to do anything particularly powerful. Could I use non-human souls? Frogs or bugs or plants or something?

Alexandria basically being everywhere and doing anything annoyed me, so I was horrible to a gnoll teenager, who apparently ran off into a gnoll patrol, who thereupon captured her.
Alright, I think I understand everything except how the first two events (or the second and third, depending on how you count) are related and why this could count as an "over-success".

What if someone (*cough*Selina*cough*) made a new thing, then "sold" it to Kyle/Will/etc for a million dollars, then it got put into the Stone? Would it note the market value as $1 million?

And Solairi got the young Gnoll nabbed by evil gnolls. Good job :P
And your omnipresence is grating on my nerves.

I'm so confused.

((I roll, I presume?))

[17+3]
Carl creates an intricate little device, spring-wound and clockwork. It is...um...a little dove that flaps its wings when running. It even has a little device in its chest that makes a sound not entirely unlike a dove's cooing, although it's not quite on. South of the uncanny valley, though.

He heads over to Torban.
"Excuse me, could you ask Mamessa to give this to the girl? I'd ask her myself, but she seems...preoccupied...and it seems like you'd know how to do so without angering her or something."

The gnolls that captured the girl
((Wait, where did more gnolls come from? I'm so confused.))

Past puberty it wouldn't be paedophilia, more likely ephobephilia.
When do gnolls undergo puberty?

Quote
Still a different species, so bestiality.
I don't think the English language really covers these situations, but I'm pretty sure "bestiality" is defined as carnal relations with animals.
No way in hell I'm putting that on my search history anywhere, though.

Quote
Also i'm being horrible to her because quite frankly there's not much else to do.
How about...not doing stuff? Or maybe helping Carl with the toy?

Mamessia positions herself between Solairi and the child while a pack of wolves move in surrounding Solaira with Wolfenstien in the lead.

"Back away from the child."
"Good call," Carl mutters, focused on his crafting.

Legally accepted permission. Like Wall Street contracts, the person who owns the asset must agree without being under a false, partially obscured or equivocated impression. They must be the legal owner of the asset and must not be under duress.
Phooey. There goes my combat plans.

Quote
Air and whatnot that is not owned may be transmuted without permission but it drains more mass seeing as it's practically worthless. Also, if something has no actual associated value but is still valuable, for intents and purposes of transmutation, it is considered worthless, that is, its input value is zero and cannot be output.
Which brings up another question...how does it deal with different locations having different values for something? If oil is cheap in Yemen and expensive in Russia, which price will be used as the baseline? How about completely different worlds?

The 'Girlfriend' not a real person.
...Trying to figure out how to slip a joke about said "girlfriend" just being his hand without being, you know...crude, ham-fisted, and unfunny.

How old is the Gnoll anyways? And does the seduction skill have to have the target and user speak the same language?
...
I should have known.

Wouldn't that technically be bestiality? Different species and all.
The female gnoll girl is 15. and yes, technically that is Bestiality.
Just because she has an animal-like head does not make it bestiality, just miscegenation.
Pedophilia is still an issue, of course. And potentially rape.

"I know. I could feel her before she got within a mile of the camp."
"So nice of you to mention this."

Carl watches the girl slink off and heads to whatever passes for his workshop at the moment to make a toy or something for her.
(How old, exactly, is the gnoll child? And what kind of roll would be needed for this?)
