Thought of a new modifier. How does 'Ancient' sound?

Vague.

A lot of things are vague.

I was thinking along the lines of if you said 'ancient cat' you'd get like a sabertooth tiger or something.

Or a 16 year old, one-eyed cat.

And if you said "Ancient Man" you would get a group of Anthoropologists arguing what it means. :P

A form for thin bars or strings or thread or something. I wanted to make clothes that didn't suck.

Wouldn't that be "Ancient Woman"? Or maybe "Large Ancient Woman"?

...Also, how did we get to this topic?

I asked if 'ancient' would be a good modifier and someone then implied that 'ancient woman' would refer to an elderly matron of my family line.

Explanation: Your mother is in actuality an elderly man.

The age of one's mother as well as her true gender have been common topics in the Dozens for a long time.

IMO, Holy should be just as... eldritch as Zentol was, maybe just less overt. Sort of how in D&D a Lawful Good character can still do atrocious things if they are led to believe what they are doing is right.

In Pit, they have different flavors and different effects.

Oil / Coal could be interesting as well.

Foam. Solid foam being nothing more than a packing peanuts, or maybe a memory foam mattress.

First two are good.  Foam's in Pit if you want to play with it.

Salt?

A very late addition to Perplexicon.


Plasma. Either as a form or element. It's like fire, but more EXTREEEEEEEME.

I'd assume it'd be a form, given solid/liquid/gas are.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Maybe Fog / Smoke / Dry Ice?

As an example of Clockwork vs Electronic:

Clockwork Gauntlet Sword: Creates a gauntlet with a retractable sword. With a flick of the wrist, you can behead your enemies.

Electronic Gauntlet Sword: Creates a gauntlet with a sword, there's buttons that change it's position and a screen indicating which position it's in.
