bloodshape a flamethrower that uses hp as fuel
While it should be possible to create based on what was successfully created so far, it would be highly impractical for pretty obvious reason. And we already know how to create various blood weapons that do not require hp (or mp) to simply use. Like shotgun or sniper rifle.
Only case when flamethrower would be acceptable if it was dealing high amount of damage for 1 hp drained per shot or something like that - and I doubt FFS will be THAT generous.
that's...kind of the point: we already know about the "free to use" weapons, so make one that ISN'T free to use, and therefore (in theory) more powerfull. and besides, we don't have anything that's cast from hp, do we? (Bloodshaping itself is cast from maxhp)


we can decide whether it's worth using after we see the stats.

When have we been told we can't sit down with goombess or something and research?

It's worth a try.
How?

Presumably the same way Goombess was able to "research" the location of a River Dollar on a floor that seems to have been recently randomized, or the way she was able to figure out the mechanics of Proxxy's abilities just by observing her while we Tactical Diplomacied. She could well deduce the mechanics of our own skills by studying us.

+1 to letting Goombess study us for the purposes of Bloodshaping Exposition

+1. Goombess can do research, though I don't think we can. Maybe she's not affected by the Insanity Penalty?

Maybe. But probably not quickly.

Adventuring is always the fastest way to learn things. I mean, that's the whole point Goom-bess is with us.

And for the record while I like shenanigans, and the game runs on shenanigans, these bloodshaping suggestions are boring and I think crashing Auntie's party is more fun.

+1. Research has been shown to work. Might as well set Goombess on it, she seems to be the most skilled in that regard.

While I agree with trying this, I disagree with doing it before trying to break in Auntie's house.


+1, with the caveat that we do it only AFTER the breakin.

Can I just say that it amuses me greatly, that the "rational" crowd turns down so many ideas because they assume they won't work, but when there's support for an action that literally has no consequence except granting us knowledge, they jump on that too.

The consequence is wasted time on FFS' part. When he's updating once every week, and an action that draws away from the flow of the story, it's a waste of our own time, as readers.
