Entropy doesn't do any of that stuff! It's the tendency for energy to be evenly distributed over time throughout interacting systems. It doesn't convert mass into energy, that would be antimatter.
In the words of Rag, FLUFF..

And anyway, it was established (much earlier on) that the field rendered magic useless, and had a lesser effect on supernatural things otherwise (superpowers, Personae, the seal keeping Shys in); hence why Richard could barely summon his Persona, if at all.

Basically, it won't evaporate the house. Probably will take out a room or two, maybe the wall. Thank your lucky stars everyone inside is off somewhere.


And yeah what Emp said; entropy is simply the decay of things or something...which Abraxas' upgrade counters as part of it's upgrades, unless I'm not entirely clear on Void; wouldn't be the first time considering nobody tells me anything about the lore.

what's done is done, instead of argueing what should have been, lets argue how it should be from now on.


brainstorm the rules. Once enough suggestions have been made, I'll just strawpoll that shit and majority can make stuff canon, with Elfs approval

Personally, the house being destroyed is cool with me from a plot perspective  so I don't give a fuck about the shield. I'm still :I on Asariel in general, though. Multi-attack OP, nerf plz.

leaving that aside, lets brainstorm for ways of a) making dex less OP, and b) making other stats more relevant.
We may not need to, remember, @Ragnarok wasn't clear on the normal rules that @Elf uses and thus used his own ruleset.

Wait what.

no.

Void and Twilight shit wouldn't affect it.

It's not.

Pure creation.
That case, the beam would be turned into a small laser causing a small hole in the walls due to the suppression of such effects by Alexander.

Either way, it shouldn't blow everything up inside.

I, however, have yet to say anything about her using it on something not protected against nigh-everything.

Howssat?

Entropic energy isn't magical itself, just weird as fuck and highly unnatural. The only thing magical is the generation and the bits keeping it from going nova.
Entropy doesn't do any of that stuff! It's the tendency for energy to be evenly distributed over time throughout interacting systems. It doesn't convert mass into energy, that would be antimatter.

That's what it's doing.

In the most violent and destructive manner possible.

a BUNCH of that energy is all bundled up in matter.

So the matter has to go.

The energy is torn out of it, and violently dispersed until it's an even distribution.

usually this only goes so far as breaking apart the matter itself, not the subatomic particles that make it up, but if left unchecked it would.

To put it more simply, once it's actually used, it's a reality shaping effect, not a magical one.

Which are different.

... actually, that's pretty much everything angels do...

He's arguing that a supernatural attack should be fine as long as the end result is something that is not supernatural. Except what the result is doesn't do what it should. False vacuum metastability events are natural, combustion is natural, inertia is natural. Entropy moving like a substance whilst converting mass into other forms of energy is NOT natural.

That sounds like heat-death, except horribly inaccurate and heavily distorted. And incredibly premature.

I'll settle with the house being somewhat damaged but not destroyed; again, fair enough that the shield wasn't brought up initially, but it still falls under supernatural and not completely suppressed by the shield.

Free turns only happen if the enemy has been knocked down or otherwise rendered unable to move, and only on the turn they were stopped from moving. DEX based turn order, I might consider.

I refute that for the sake of balance. Normally I would not be so absolute, but this affects and unbalances some of my characters whose abilities distort reality. I simply cannot allow that argument lest my own characters become overpowered.

Cyrielle and Alice's magic would count as that, I am not going to let my characters suddenly gain the ability to ignore all defensive measures ON TOP of their already existing anti-armor capabilities.

Too bad on the house, Maria Elf. Structural collapse thereafter. Besides, I think I can use the destruction of the server hardware to fuel my PLOT~

In return, either we get MIND to resist the curse or the roll it gives is equal to the number of targets. Because Asariel op. :I

Hm :/

Really, I'd prefer to be able to destroy the house...

Eh, next plot I guess, character from that one should be able to say fux this jazz.

On an unrelated note, I still call bullshit on letting un-nerfed BOSS-TIER CHARACTERS participate in plots :/
