Pick up and throw attempted Pokemon at Flimsy Wizard.

I'm pretty sure biometal is rare.

Yup. Downgraded to... Mercury if you don't object.

Not exactly what I was hoping for.
Roll over and fire the cannon again. Not much else to do.

((You should have gone with "many clockwork firearm" then.  I certainly would have preferred that, because then I could carry the gun around.  Also, unless you thought you'd get a bunch of single-shot muzzle loaders, the "many" is sort of useless- you'd get a pile of guns, only one of which you could use.))

I wanted to spawn a pile 'o flintlock rifles, then pick up -> fire set on repeat until job cancellation due to a lack of guns or an interrupted by throat-punch.

Alright, basically all the description is done now. Some extra rules:

Creatures need a will roll equal to the potency score that makes them to be under your control when they spawn. Some elements make creatures that can't be controlled.

Creatures need to be stated. I was thinking making them have stats equal to 2x the potency score needed to make them. That way creatures with more stuff pumped into them are naturally stronger as well.




Now comes the time of Actually getting the new stat system running and getting a potency value to put with each word.

If one of you guys feels like being a bro, you could go through the current list
https://www.dropbox.com/s/o5eogm7wbmamvd0/Perplexicon%20RV.odt
And make us a text doc with all the words listed, minus explanation. I'll need it for the future and doing it by hand eats up time that I could be using to work on more pressing things in the system.

That sounds like a pretty good way to state them.

How are you handling the animation of a summoned creature?  For example, in Arena "stone cat" would get you a stone cat that walked around and acted catty.  In the World Beyond, you'd get a stone cat statue.  Will the life word be required?

If the control word is included in the creation of an animal, does control become assured?

What effects would imbuing someone with Terrible Divine do? Would if make them seraph like and/or affect their mind?

I like how most media portrayals of mages involve them carrying wands or staves, yet in perplexicon the one tool that would probably be the most proliferant would be the nailgun.

I guess that's only with the idea wands help cast magic, here, wands can be used for knocking teeth out I doubt much else.
