Could you tell us what it would look like from an adventurer's point of view when it's done?

So we'll have Sherlock Holmes fights?

I want to watch Robert Downey Jr. tear a mans throat out with his teeth.

Or beating a dragon to death with an umbrella.

I hope with the new seperation of movement from attack speed, and combat reactions (a la catching an incomming blow) That I can get surrounded by 5 thugs, taking them all out with a simultaneous double punch-double kick throat bite. I shall call it "Judging Starfish Style"

So we'll have Sherlock Holmes fights?

TCM, would this be acceptable?

Sherlock Holmes
Class Type: Detective

*insert picture here*

+1 Tactics
+1 Intelligence
+1 Unconventional Fighting/Weapons
Eccentric
Extreme Detachment: When Holmes uses this, he becomes able to plan a strategy to take out an opponent with ease (a la slow-mo scenes in the movies), and can severely injure/kill the enemy. 2 turn cooldown.

Equipment:
Disguises - To infiltrate enemy groups and other things.
Pipe - Because every detective needs one.

Description: A legendary detective with baffling powers of perception, his intelligence gives him great combat skills.

If you like it, please waitlist me as a purple times new roman Sherlock Holmes.

I carve a bone decoration for me and my weapon for EVERYTHING I kill. It makes killing SO tedious that I'm now a pacifist...with somewhere around 60000 fighter skill, of course. Can't be too sure.

Make a land plant that looks like grass, but has pores that secrete spider web.  That way, they get us free nutrients Energy from photosynthesis AND can snag us whatever insects happen to brush up against one.

This. We'd have to pick the insects up ourselves though unless we disinged an ant variant that collects them and brings them to a storage location. Possibly we could make the grass self reproducing? Like if on the roots it has an insect reproduction system that releases burrowing grubs out to spreed our unnatural ecosystem.

Well if it is going to reproduce have it reproduce by budding (we should be able to have a plant do that as that is how Ameobas [which is what we started as] reproduce.).  To spread the ecosystem it could use poison secreted through the root to poison surronding plants, allowing it to reproduce and spread freelly. Posion can come from spiders.

Lets do this all after we lay the eggs and see them successfully develop though.

Agreed. So mosquitoes and poisonous land-plants. Don't we already have a layer of algae or something covering the pond surface?

I Decree that this planet will be called Advent - named after our incredible Mind Power.

Let's try more constanants. We are called the Kai, after all. We should name our planet...Kar'soom (the ' is a pause), after the name for earth in the John Carter thing.

Inspired by some guy who modded dragons to be ambush predators, I made tham bogeymen! That was a great idea.
