A guy made of stone doesn't really care about his lungs, unless you force his tatoo off.  I don't think smashing a stone guy with a bunch of air in an implosion would work well either, although it does remind me of this.

And yes, you could make anything fly, but it would almost certainly be a rougher flight than direct control.

I actually couldnt grow fungus whenever- I needed to already have some, to provide spores. When I went into the basement, the second time, it was to retrieve the fungus I's left there earlier. In terms of zentol, don't allow him to create rifts. Piecewise never allowed us to create energy elements, even when we had control over them.

I figured that was so you couldn't just spawn a black hole, or fire on someone.  That's why I'm making rifts take a whole turn- if he tries to use it in combat, he'll get suckerpunched.  Combined with random things coming out (And I'll limit it to creatures), it's actually harder to get than fungus.  Fungus just needs a starter, which isn't hard to get.

Plus, if he fails a will roll to control whatever comes out, he'll be torn into messy bits.

...Physical equipment would be impossible...

There's the solid word. You can just start creating solid air (or better yet, create a cannon that fires solid air) and build all your things out of solid air.

Anyway, if you're looking for the most powerful spell, make a staff of life-force control and simply suck the life out of people.

You know, I always wondered what might of happened if one made a sapience control object. Would it become sapient but under your control, or function as a makeshift Scarlon mask?

[syvarris]

I think neither would result in the desired object, for two reasons: one, it would be overpowered.  Two, I made a speed control helmet awhile ago, which just made a "fast" helmet.  I imagine the other pg.4 words don't work any differently.

You can always send a PM to piecewise and hear his opinion. He said he'd be glad to help if you need any.

This turn: Three people entered the basement.  One got hit HARD by a Automaton metalsmith, turning his right arm into hamburger, tossing him across the room, breaking his skull, and knocking him unconcious.  That was the Scarlon guy.  The other two are flux people.  The first got a chrome hopper which they ran circles around, but couldn't hurt due to it being made of metal (And a nat 6 for endurance) while being punched with raw fists, and the second got a giant snake, which due to a 6 str roll coiled around him and is pretty much gonna kill him next turn.

Down in the village, last turn a guy got one hit killed by a ghoul, so his caster buddy ran away... into two unarmed villagers.  Back in the temple, lovecraft guy nearly got ate by one of his experiments with his new powers.

Before this, the only violence was someone dropping a gold brick on the scarlon guy, and the ghoul stabbing the other guy.  But suddenly this turn the rolls conspired against the players- seriously, the guy who got hit by the snake rolled a 1+2+2+1 for dodge!  And then a 1-1 for endurance!

The RNG reaaally hates my players it seems.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Mm, hamburger. Wait, not the sandwich, an approximation of the meat, aka ground beef. Ew.

Maybe you should get new dice.

[syvarris]

Yeah, I'm going to switch to random.org.  That seems pretty popular.

If I continues like this I'm just going to fudge some rolls.

When I had Gastropit control I could only control grastropit that I summoned if that helps with how it could work

My two cents about this:

Unless the zentol guy is wielding some massive will bonuses (like angle was) it should only be a matter of time till he rolls low and the thing back fires on him. And Zentol should backfire a lot harder then sand or something mundane.

Further, Nul-sheal, at least in my version, didn't let you pull elements out of nowhere (least not till later). Angle got away with it because fungus can naturally grow, but wwolin didn't pull gold out of nothing. Make the guy actually have to say Zentol and then manipulate it, if you're still worried about him being over powered.



Oh and it's not on there; but the reason why that basement room in the temple has enemies-those specific ones- is because the back wall opens up to a passage that leads down into the mountain and eventually to the massive foundries and forges of one of the sealers: Lord Bacrael.  Of course, to open it they'll need to throw fire on that one particular section of the wall...

Did you ever get around to the second half of that retrospective?

I could still do that, if anyone is interested. I'd have to think on it for a bit though, since with that many people a lot of it was a blur.

[Toaster]

I would be interested.
