lets not argue anymore about what *should* have been, really. all the retconning and not-retconning only delays the game.


instead, let's settle on what *will* be next battle.




Asariel may look OP, but once the rules have actually been balanced, it'll be much less overpowering.


Also, final-boss tier angels *should* be OP, to encourage players using their head, organising, making a strategy, instead of everyone just flailing at the enemy. She is perfectly possible to overcome by a combination of fixed rules and coordination




and also, I actually call bullshit on the whole *magical shield around the house so impenetrable, blah blah*. Our shield being impenetrable and (some) of our dudes auto-reviving is the same kinda bullshit that the angels keep throwing around and that we complain about. Why shouldn't we be vulnerable?

Correction; I said it wasn't. Magical effects are suppressed, not cancelled. Void and Twilight can't touch it. Those are the only effects cancelled outright.

Personae work in it, barely. Wall Street works fine. Superpowers do, and lastly, a good old wrecking ball would take it down. Hardly invulnerable; just hard to take down using magic.

Also, I wasn't even told void walkers could revive.

Really, I'm actually cheesed off right now. Don't expect me to post on RoTMG for a while, I have to calm down.

It shouldn't have a roll.

And anyway, it was established (much earlier on) that the field rendered magic useless, and had a lesser effect on supernatural things otherwise (superpowers, Personae, the seal keeping Shys in); hence why Richard could barely summon his Persona, if at all.

Basically, it won't evaporate the house. Probably will take out a room or two, maybe the wall. Thank your lucky stars everyone inside is off somewhere.


And yeah what Emp said; entropy is simply the decay of things or something...which Abraxas' upgrade counters as part of it's upgrades, unless I'm not entirely clear on Void; wouldn't be the first time considering nobody tells me anything about the lore.

Slendy's EM affected things because people decided to forget that there was a magical shield, I wasn't online and so nobody bothered asking me. By the time I was, nobody bothered informing me of slendy. (Elf much disappoint by this by the way )

The hail wasn't magical in itself; and it never hit the house.

The field works by directly suppressing it, yes. However, that isn't the thing stopping it; Abraxas' upgrade, which is supposed to handle Void and Twilight is. And THAT works by stopping things dead; however in theory if Dumah where to blast the house directly with an explicitly magical blast, THAT would damage it. It isn't, hence why the house would withstand it.

For the purposes of game mechanics, any immobilising or otherwise movement-impairing attack counts as a bind, unless otherwise stated by fluff or it's creator.

@Elf, is what Grandiose did still binding and not curse? Would the field still block a self sustaining magic attack (if for example, Ester focused light into a high power laser and sent it into the house, would it be unaffected because the photons only require magic to get form a beam but not to remain a beam)?

...What?

Yes, yes, and Abraxas' upgrade counters Dumah beam.

Well, you're all standing in the way of a super weapon that will, while probably not blowing up the house, will render the antimagic shield somewhat powerless and kill any organic in it's path, short of a dragon.

WHATEVER DO YOU MEAN

That we could use a plot, obviously.

I'm working on a mini-side plot that hopefully won't need me to ask Kj if I can run statted enemies involving Aoi. It won't involve superpowers unless someone does something stupid.

In that case I'll hand it over to Kj.

You've had a real hard on for plot lately.

Well... It's kinda the entire point of this game, you know?
