[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.
((You really underestimate how indiscriminate people are in these games. They tend to kill anyone who is a threat, every last man, woman and child. Also, how do you intend to amass that many souls so quickly? Not even Cog who spends almost all of his time has gained that many souls.

Also, dimension circles are both costly and unstable, you'll need an entire team to power it up initially and it'll still quickly destabilize. Also, hiding in some alternate dimension isn't the best idea if you can't get out without deactivating it.

Finally, the two major teams seem rather concerned by your ambition. Generally not the best idea to aggro the people who know how to buff pretty much all of their stats or mass produce minions that fire blackholes. And assuming you succeed, anyone who you piss off can end you via Zentol, sure it'll probably kill them, but it'll also kill you.))

I dont see why the hell i could have pissed off anyone:

1) Im ambitious: Yes of course. But, who in this game isnt?
2) I said numerous times i wouldnt kill players (Without them bothering me atleast)
3) The woman/girl thing was a joke, i had already decided it way before
4) Nor did i say that i would do this in a single turn, nor did i say i was immortal. I simply said what i would be triying to do with my next char then we started discussing about which stats we consider best/necessary. I simply said in my opinion Will was the best for (Insert 20 last posts here) and what i would do using will in certain cases you guys said.

I dont really get why people is assuming that i think im gonna become some kind of god... Considering i have played for like two turns, im not stupid.

((I never said you were pissing off anyone, I'm just saying they'll likely be on their guard around you and may have a hair-trigger if they start getting suspicions, since Eotyrannus showed what an unaligned, ambitious person could do if they got really bored. Well, deception and backstabbing does occasionally happen so no one ever really goes on honesty alone. For you next character, you have a choice: you could make/acquire will-operated implements and gain souls faster or align with a god and start off with some capacity for combat at the cost of gaining souls more slowly.))

((I honestly doubt Aether would bother seeing we've spend most of my previous PMs talking about the potential future of Perplexicon and getting a list of everything if it comes down to the point where it ends. Seeing as you do intend to use a will-based character, well, I've got a gastorpit-generating sword with two unknown functions. I can apply a control word, a levitation word and a speech word onto it, not sure if it can let you remotely swing it but should be enough for you to levitate the blade near an enemy and gas them with the poison or scout out an area if the weapon is feeling cooperative.))

((Well, they're all quite useful. Scarlon doesn't really build up on powers but rather provides an arsenal of weaponized douchebaggery.
Powers:
Mask of scarlon (Inherent mind control capacity).
Outer knowledge: Will roll based ability that can grant the user knowledge about a specific person, place or thing.
Faceless: Shifts the Agro of an NPC or Player (If they fail a will roll) onto another NPC, player or object.
))

But, would a single person with 25 or so channeling be able to maintain the circle by himself?

((Well, the circle can be maintained by a person with 1 channeling and 0 potency. It takes a crapton of pool to set up but as long as at least one creator is alive and has given it permission, the circle is maintained, though it might actually destabilize judging by what happened inside the dimension.))

Can a person with one pool inscribe a rune that costs three?  I wouldn't think so.

If he gives 1 pool first turn, another second, and another third, it is possible.
And im pretty sure you can do that, seeing how they took various turn in order to make the megacircle.

I don't think that is the case, there are some circles take more than one turn to inscribe, but you still have to pay the pool for it up front.

Actually, you don't need pool to maintain circles (at least circles that do not require pool to stay active). As long as you help with the drawing, you haven't ordered the circle to deactivate and you haven't died, you are maintaining the circle, even with 0 pool.

However, as piecewise notes on the second post of this thread, the cost for runes and circles is deducted the moment they are completed. So, it doesn't matter if a rune or circle takes 1 turn to draw or 5. The required pool is going to be deducted the moment it is completed. However you can draw a circle, wait for your pool to regenerate, draw a couple of runes on the circle, wait for your pool to regenerate, and so on until the circle is filled with runes. So you (or you and your friends) just need to have enough pool to draw the part of the circle with the highest cost, whether that part is an A, B, C, D or E rune.

Thats what i meant. I dont think any single rune needs over 25 pool, right?
