Or maybe he could.. Not randomly commit murder? ENG should see a therapist.Silly SB, Everyone knows there's no therapists anywhere
I was going to say that I don't care anymore, but that actually sounds pretty fun.I'm still nto certain why you haven't just joined the game already EmpThere's too many posts! I'm already skipping half the OOC, I don't need extra IC to read as well!
Actually come to think of it, there is a way to make Ian more viable, possibly overpowered even. Wouldn't require any sheet modification, but he'd no longer serve as a tank. He could ignore the current plot and head over to all the criminal syndicates he can find and use his substantial diplomacy bonus, combined with his charm spells and his martial prowess (I'd imagine he's probably still pretty stronger than most people in this world, even if he is overshadowed by the other tanks) to gain their favor. Take out foes with a posse of gangsters and mafia enforcers. He won't even have to summon them since they're joining as NPCs!
Hell if any of the universes have supervillains or something, he could just go and try recruiting as many of them as possible. Use TBF's wormhole character to escape if they get pissed, and just keep trying until he's spoken to as many as he can. He's bound to succeed a fair percentage of the time.
Become an interuniversal crime lord.
"this person did things that were unintended in the plot but made sense. this upsets me."
"your person murdered small animals with explosives simply because he could. this also upsets me."
"these two things are unrelated?"
No, it was
'Your chacater is overpowered'
Some unrelated guy: 'Your character did a dumb.'

And Ian's supposed to be a dedicated tank, and despite balance saying he should be better at that than Motya, he is in fact worse on pretty much all fronts.He's not dominating combat because you're choosing not to let him do so. But he still is tankier than dedicated tanks, has multiple stats capped, and has a lot of healing.
...
You do know that Motya is a dedicated tank, right? His entire gimmick is that he's a heal tank. That's why he's so good at healing and is incredibly tanky.

...@kj:So does Alanis, at least for multiple stats capped and all.Oh, but she's rediculuos in other ways. May I remind you of the fact that you straight up skipped part of PN's plot with her powers?
"Depends, the one the guy had was apparently the type that did the first two if it touched you. The ones I'm used to... were actually more plesant surprsingly."Kyle nods.
"You would not believe how hard it was to get to the lobby just to start the payent process. I had to get passed a nut job with a cockatrice as a weapon. I don't even know how he got it! But at least the neighboors are cool. Like, the lady across the hall invited me to a hot spring the other day.... You know, I think you'd recgonise her for some reason."
Dackly shrugs "Stranger things have happened, certainly. Hot springs ARE pretty great after all."
"Are cockatrices the ones that kill, stone, or paralyze with a glare? I vaguely remember those doing one or the other."
meanwhile, inside the ship, ENG would have applied boot to Ian's rear, confiscated his Weapons, and locked him in as small a room as he could find available. He would then put the weapons in a locker in the exercise room, and head back out to inspect the damages.ENG would find that all these things are tougher to do than anticipated. The first problem is that as soon as he's on the ship, he starts blasting in random directions with his wind dust at random intravels. Which , unless he also was able to effectively nullify hostile movement effects, would blast him down and start dragging him along the floor until he let go.
"Sometimes I wonder if I am among the most sane people here. And I'm a trigger happy war veteran acording to Alan."
