« on: February 10, 2014, 07:54:53 am »Hmm....you know, EXALT missions take place in supposedly covert conditions. That means there really should be civilians. I bet EXALT could do some interesting things with Chryssalid parts, Meld, and a total disregard for ethics.Indeed.
"I didn't say it stayed covert once I was ready for takeoff. I kinda blew my cover when I found that bastard who killed Rogers and shot him..."Hmm....you know, EXALT missions take place in supposedly covert conditions. That means there really should be civilians. I bet EXALT could do some interesting things with Chryssalid parts, Meld, and a total disregard for ethics.I had one EXALT mission in that bombed-out military base map. "Yeah, sure, 'covert op'. That's why all the tanks have massive plasma holes in their sides, and the entire facility is on fire."
Chryssalids are special in that they seem to be species-hardened (the same chryssalid appears from a shark as does from a human). A cybernetically enhanced "Chryssalid Terror Tank" could be a unit combining the speed and infectivity of a Chryssalid, the armor of a Sectopod, and the melee power of a Berserker. It'd be a nigh-unstoppable melee powerhouse that can smash walls, tear MECs apart with a few strikes, and is immune to poison, mind control, and fire, on top of its regular infectivity bonus. And it could get the Sectopod's little auto-overwatch cannon if you're feeling it's too easy. Of course, it's still a regular Chryssalid in the core - infected people still become regular Chryssalids. But it's a damn sight more effective than a single Chryssalid at tearing into the middle of your squad. About its only weakness would be the final level MEC's shock weapon.Good lord. Why do you all hate your squads.

Mark: His eyes, which could be taken for very, very light brown, but are actually honey-yellow.Excellent Mark.

Catalyst Emotion: Approval, both of others and his own, in the sense of doing the right thing.A bit...well, I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's not a very "active" emotion. Fear, hate, anger, lust, guilt, even depression are all "Active" emotions that drive out rational thought and replacing it with emotional response. That's a bit part of what the catalyst emotion is supposed to be.

Alright, I understand that the whole background of my character is invalid if magic is not inherited. I'll rewrite it, if that's the case. Sorry. Are my skills alright?It's fine.
The source material was not focused on the details of magic or where it came from, so it's all good.
Don't expect "primitive crafting" to be making you anything detailed or complex without a great roll, and I assume "remedy-making" is making medicines from plants and such?
Probably the same, but with some negative effect attached to the curse spreading.QuoteAh.So what do you suggest it should do instead?
Well, one big thing is that Malignant Curse doesn't have much of an effect on you. Aside from that, most of the stuff is stuff I'd be handling in my secret GM tweaking chamber.

Please not a pirate. We don't need two gorram pirates.

And don't you dare make a ninja just because I said not to be a pirate.

« on: February 09, 2014, 10:51:33 pm »Is it just me or has Marie become the female version of kyle?Nah. Not nearly dumb or promiscuous enough. But aside from that...actually, aren't those Kyle's main defining traits?
I was joking, GWG....Why did you think kj was me?
Hey, he's not stupid. Just irrationalHey, no shame in playing an idiot. But let's call a spade a spade here.
Seriously though please stop calling Kyle stupid. It makes me want to stop playing him.
(And remember: Stupid is not ignorant.)

« on: February 09, 2014, 10:49:41 pm »Kyle sits down at the fire."I'll survive a night without food."
"So... If anyone needs food and didn't bring any, you're kind of screwed."
Will begins contemplating this, which causes his brain to begin detailing how he would be affected if he didn't eat.
Stupid power.
"Unless you fancy a taste of wolf meat.""Heh."
Kyle pulls the rifles and his pistol out."Range's terrible, though. Diffuses like there's no tomorrow."
"No need, I always carry them around."
Kyle holds up the one made of sticks and mud.
"This one's the gem of the collection, I made it in a park. Somehow."

« on: February 09, 2014, 10:20:30 pm »(Also, wouldn't light and sound be just as manipulable as fire? Creation/Manipulation/Negation thereof has several obvious and useful applications)Well, even Fire is supposed to be damn rare compared to solider things. You might have a point with light, but I'm drawing the line at sound.
And you need a character idea? Well...you have some options. Simplest: Take a character you like and change things until he/she fits the game! More complex options involve selecting a few elements you know you want in your character and going from there. Or you could go to some random generator site; I'd recommend Seventh Sanctum, but they overhauled the way their site works and I like it less now.

« on: February 09, 2014, 10:16:49 pm »Kyle rolls his eyes."Regardless, Meme and other children will be living there! I love Meme, but the tyke could be mauled by a chihuahua. Isn't the threat of her being mauled enough to make you a little concerned about the behavior of your new pets?"
Kyle frowns at the wolves.Will facepalms.
"I should get them food..."
Angel rocks Momo, who begins fussing as soon as Meme leaves."They'd better be. We have children running around that house, Kyle, and not all with powers. If Meme or Alistair or Nodoka or someone turns up mauled one day, I'm going to have your head if no one else beats me to it. Got it?""OKAY!" Meme carefully transfers Momo to Angel's arms with instructions to be careful before trying to find Alistair.
Angel lets go. "Can you go ask Alistair now?"
