[Panzer, The Bestest God and Bestest Armor]

"Perhaps we could combine some of the suggestions. We have a disc-world with the Gear-amid as the primary landmass. I also like the idea of the Godsea, but new coral islands popping up would only serve to interfere with the Gear-amid."

"Then remove the cogs stuuuupid. The GodSea is winning, just let it win."

Now to do what I always do.
Make a race before the game's even started.

£££Pricecheck.
I'm sorta aiming for Divine Race, because Panzer likes their super powerful children.

[Katzerie, the Token God]

Katzerie hammers away, making more and more Donnerpanzers and Sturmkannons for the Dagomoths. Until they all have one of each.
She also responds to prayers.
To the Jakatt woodscat: "How was it before? I've been... busy, lately."
To the Dagomoth Rampager: "Are you attacking people? Don't attack people. Or else people will attack and pluck your red eye out. I made these things for defense, not offense."
To the Kattork Glassblower: "I... I don't know. How would you like a vacation? See the world, take a break from work to get some inspiration. I'll even give you some boots to let you go places."
Katzerie takes a break from making Dagomoth equipment, and makes some boots.

Katzerie makes the Elite Artifact: Blitz Stiefel. Using 11 Essence.
These boots are made of strong and soft leathers, and look like some mighty fine mountain boots.
These boots allow the wearer to run at high speeds, and if they build up enough momentum, can even run on liquids.
They need a bit of a buildup to run at these speeds, a 3 second running start, then the acceleration kicks in.
It forms a barrier around the person, to protect them from stuff in the air. This barrier lasts as long as the acceleration does.
If they slow down, the barrier disappears. If the barrier is broken, they slow down.

Then Katzerie makes the Advanced Artifact: The Rainbow Paw. Using 4 Essence.
This trinket will provide limited survival aid in hazardous environments. It's the size of a coin, and is the colors of the rainbow.
In hot places, it cools the wearer, in cold places, it heats the wearer. In places with little oxygen, it provides it. When poisoned, it'll slow it's effect.
When it does any of these effects, it becomes a solid color. When little, it's still rainbow, but is dominated by one color. When at it's limit it's a solid color. When it cannot suppress an effect, it glows. It also lets out a low screech based on how active it is. To warn it's wearer.
Red = Hot Place. Blue = Cold Place. White = Little/No Oxygen. Green = Poisoned. Black = Wounded. Purple = High/Low Pressure. Orange = Drugged.
The Rainbow Paw wont cure poison, heal wounds, or get rid of drugs. It will simply slow their effects, until the wearer can be healed/cured, or die.
The hot, cold, oxygen, and pressure will build up it's activeness the longer it's wearer stays in an area.
It has a slight activity drain, so it can easily handle weak effects, but it's best to get to shelter, to let it recharge.

Katzerie ties the Rainbow Paw onto the right boot of the Blitz Stiefel.

Yes, but it's terrifying in the sleeping giant sort of way in that if he actually does decide to do something with them he can drown everyone else out through sheer numbers.

Combined with them being incorporeal (iirc) and natural psymentalists and it reaches nightmarish proportions.

Again, not really. Its hard to make numbers a huge advantage in this game. If you only fight a small amount at once, its basically a high level character smashing through the low level ones (Ex Four could stomp a town of the dream follower's without really trying). If you somehow get enough of them in one place for them to be a threat on their own, then they are very vulnerable to Area of Effect type attacks and nuking. Psymental really isn't that powerful a school, and its not like incorporeal would save them from any of the other races if a real war broke out. Besides, they are just a basic race who can eat dreams and have Psi as a free school, if I remember correctly. They are really weak.

Hm... if they're incorporeal, then it'd be an issue to attack them. Well, the Dagomoths would just hit them where it hurts, their minds. So they'd just do eldritch corruption on them.
Because making purely mental creatures makes them vulnerable to eldritch. Or so I think, at least.

If they're not. I don't think having cannons will help much when Dagomoths attack them with Donnerpanzers and Sturmkannons.
In hindsight, the Dagomoths turns out to be quite powerful. When cooperating with the Kattens.
If all of Katzerie's races were on the same layer, they could be really powerful. But I like my separated races.

[Katzerie, the Token God]

"I need... more."
Katzerie invests 15 more Essence into the Sturmkanone prototype machinegun, to enhance the design.
Katzerie invests 5 more Essence into the Donnerpanzer.
This brings both items to 25 Essence invested.
Katzerie starts creating copies of the Donnerpanzer and Sturmkanone.
And checking it's effectiveness when worn and wielded by the 5 meter tall Dagomoths (seeing as it's made for them).

[Katzerie, the Token God]

Use 2E to encourage Police Forces in Cortex and Brainkeep. Use 1E to supply them with Donnerpanzers
Order the Cortexian military to step in to stop crime. Use 2E to aid their attempts, making many criminals about to face the army fall asleep.

"Greetings new God"

Katzerie hisses.
Oppose the acquiring of Donnerpanzers.
"Mine!"
Katzerie halts development of Sturmkanone, if necessary. To provide Essence to oppose with.

So people's minds are probed...
And they don't initially suspect Gandtrael?
I mean, he did make a ton of psychic stuff.

So... how's progress?
