[FELLOW BLASTELLIANS, WE MUST SHOW THE ERROR OF THIS MAN'S WAY, PHYSICAL POWER TRUMPS ALL IN THE ARENA OF TRUE FIGHTING! TRUE HONOR! TRUE BLOODSHED!/Ham]

I have decided my next character will be a woman. That way you will feel bad for killing a woman (Or better, a little girl!). Anyways, of course, i wont have this kind of power at beggining. Is more of an over time thing. It still doesnt stop me of getting three initial companions of up to 4 words.

And anyways, in my next char i wont deliberately try to slay any player, its more like i will unleash the beasts i will make to hunt me some souls among the NPCs. That char was more of a test.

@Sarzael: Yeah, but that leaves you with little awareness, dexterity, strength and speed, which means you're vulnerable to those kind of attacks. Which is fine if you have a team to back you up, only focusing on science and creating interesting objects and maybe acting as support or using spells of mass destruction, like I do, not so fine if you go solo.

What does it matter? I can use will to make my flesh hard as metal, with added fireproof and acidproof abilities, making my bones weight less for speed, i may even get some points to will from modifiying my mind. I may make my skin filter oxygen from water, and kick poison, making myself able to breath underwater and poison proof, i may make my eyes have nocturnal vision, thermal vision, and see way further away than normal ones.

And i still got 12 Freaking summonings which can be made of up to 29 words. 29x12=348 Words. 348 Words will help me defend myself. Who wouldnt want an living winged sword made out of 26 different elements that protects me at all times? (My enemy pretty much)

It doesnt matter if my opponent is phisically better (Which will be hard considering i will make my body godlike) when i got 12 powerful creatures to defend myself? Not to speak about allies. And even if the opponent has resistance to direct will attacks, i can still make the earth around him become as hot as molten rock.

Thats another fun thing, it doesnt matter if you have control about one item or about twenty, since with high enough will you can make anything get same charasterictics as something.

You can make cloth become hard as steel, it will be cloth, but with the charasterictics of steel. I could make a rain of swords of dirt and wood as lethal as a rain of swords of flaming diamond and steel.

And i can also further increasing my own power by stacking words over my whole body, i currently know words for Strong and Speed. I just combine those with Whole Body and get more power.

Those are just some reasons for which Will is over anything else, besides Channeling (Which pretty much everyone needs) and maybe Potency. Physical stats are only useful at the beggining.

Anyways once i get the souls i need, i shall use those powers for helpful stuff. Except that someone tries to hurt me.

Anyway, when the kind of high level characters you're describing fight, it doesn't come down to one god or one approach being better than the other, since those kind of stuff are preety balanced (except maybe the mutant god. Haven't seen much fun stuff from him, but that's probably because he has only one worshiper). It comes down to who has prepared the most, who's the smartest and who's the luckiest.

And who has 12 creatures (+4 will) fighting for him.

For now im planning to go 12 Will, 9 Potency, 10 Channeling over time. (Never saw anyone with +4 on anything without material boosters, but saw +3 such as Null, so i dont know if theres a limit). Then use my will to modify my body in order to become a Demi-god thing.

And who needs Nulsheal? I know the control word, i can make items to have control over every single material in the game, which is my over time plan too.

((All it takes is one shit rolll...))

With a single +1 on will, it guarantees that you will never harm yourself due to that stat. The worst thing may happen is that nothing happens at all. With a 3, something happens but greatly lower power (Such as a sword... Perfectly fit for a ant size), in 4 it happens with not so bad power, 5-6 it happens pretty good, and 7+... It happens TO MUCH GOOD to be safe.

 WTF. (We need delete post button. SO MUCH. Also why the hell didnt i edit this post now to make it say what the other post just said. Dear god im stupid...

((JOIN BLASTEL AND SAVE THE WORLD FROM THE HORRIBLE MAGIC PEOPLE!))

Lolwin.

Blastel cant really save you if someone uses your will to make your blood become as heavy as quicksilver, your eyes go alive and fly around with rockets, and your bones to become spiked things that rip your flesh, which will become degenerative and start breaking itself away.

And i dont really think anyone has specialized enough in will as to see his true power. I shall break apart mountains, make swords out of the rock (Converting them into sharp stuff with my mind), and make them rain upon innocent creatures, then make a swimming pool out of the souls.

((Also, don't know how you have the interface built, but it might be good to allow for bonuses other then the ones provided by stats and weapons, things like items and gods (Flux has a +1 to speed, the Everflame has +1 to all fire attack related rolls, etc) and even conditional things like concussion or pain. Ideally it would draw (at least some of) those data from anything you have in the inventory and injuries data.

@Sarzael: Every time you cast a spell you bring a bit of the Other's corruption into this world, so technically, just by being a mage, you're destroying the world a bit more.))

Thats why my next char will be Will based and not words! Ill just use a few words to make some nice stuff and equipment, and from there on i will only use Words in special ocassions.

World size doesnt really matter, considering that there are as many loaded areas as split people.

It is same to have 50 areas with 20 loaded than to have 3000 (with 20 loaded too) apart of the initial work which is already complete.

@Sarzael: You're lucky my current action allows you to retaliate. My original action had me detonate a superweapon, but then I saw there were people I liked in the courtyard and decided against it.

Well, i dont really care, as if i dont die i will suicide to make new char.
This was more of a test char.
