Alright, good ideas all. Now, what about complex elements? Like clockwork, cyber punk, eldrich, etc. Elements that have complex ideas behind them rather then just a single substance.

[Dermonster]

Steam punk.

Diesal punk.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PunkPunk  <- A list of punks.

A "fuse with X" word would be bice for cyborging. "(Gold) (Gun) (Fuse with) (Left Arm)" would make a golden gun fuse with your left arm, for instance.

That desconstructive dust word was interesting, so building off of that-

Another Light/Dark, but having physical form? So if I said (Physical Light)(Sword), I'd get a lightsaber (likely without a safe handle), and darkness would be the same way, but creepier. Like a tentacle whip.

Solid Tech, which I'm not sure what to call- the kind of sci-fi floating screen created out of nothing that just hovers around. (Solid Tech)(Sword) would create a screen and a sword with the same hologram-like appearance, the screen allows control of the sword but the sword can only go a certain distance.

(Solid Tech)(Shield) could be something like a hologram-shield that can be picked up and moved that hovers on it's own, or a single screen that when tapped creates a dome around the player using it.

Solid tech shatters like glass, but glows and is super thin for it's strength.




Alien Tech- Not really "alien", but it's another tech that does the unexplainable. Since you're tossing around MAGIC its not a shock.

Say, I spawn three (Alien Tech)(Sword).

The first has a blade that's extremely good at cutting because it vibrates. One's blade can be commanded to get longer or shorter, but you can't figure out where all the blade comes from. One acts more like a whip, but is sharp like a sword- a bendy sword.

[Toaster]

If you go with an extraplanar (Zentol/Other), you can mix it up with different ones with different traits/tendencies but the same basic principles.  I've done that a bit with Pit.  (No detail because it's still a mystery)

Trying to think of a way to make interm stat points more interesting.

How does having, say starting from 3, a stat of 4 giving a 1/3 chance of +2, and 5 giving a 2/3 chance of +2 sound?

It does clash with the overdrive thing I came up with for toaster...

[Xantalos]

I am interested in this and would buy it if it published.
That said, does Hate exist in the Perplexicon yet, and by consequence Love, Sadness, Joy, etc?

Focusing would increase your points by 3 on that stat, so if you had a 2, you would have +1 and 2/3 chance of +2.
Avoiding would do the same, i guess.

I think a 1 to a stats should never give buff, just doesnt give debuff either.

Perhaps those spells could affect the stats of a person towards other person?
For example, if you made an person love you, that person would have a debuff to strenght as long as he fights you.
If you made a person hate you, he would get a boost to strenght but less to dexterity (Hate makes him forget that he has to avoid)
Sadness... Well... Decreases speed?
Joy: Increases stats?

[Dermonster]

Too complicated.

[Sarzael]

Too complicated.

Well, then answer Piecewise question: What should a sword made out of love do?

[Tsuchigumo550]

What about Ethereal?

Like, ghostly swords. You swing it and it goes "OOOOOOOOOOH IMAGHOST."

[Dermonster]

Dissipate.

Also we already have intangible.

[Sarzael]

There was an word for Necromantic effect.
I think that it should be a will based attack.

Worst case possible: Heart of affected stops. Death.
Best case possible: Your enemy scares youself and you punch him to death while he cries because of ghosts.
Middle cases: Extreme fear that stuns you making you unable to accomplish actions and giving severe debuff, nothing at all, just a small debuff, etc.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Possibly a different kind of sentiniece, where a roll affects what mood they're in, or something? Or maybe just include it as a table, so that if you spawn three metal swords capable of speech, they'll all act differently. One might be chivalrous, while one is a snark machine, and one is a raving, blood-thirsty lunatic.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Have separate words for animate, sentient, and sapient?
