So are things like electrocuted, burning, and petrified. Should you be allowed to turn someone into stone by hitting the right node?

Again, I'm advocating you just stick to the source material rather than making crap up. Like you have been overall. Like with the "1-4 billion species already driven extinct by man" when the highest estimates of all the species that have ever existed are in the low hundreds of millions.

It might not bug you, but some of us like not being able to make crap up. We like reliability, verisimilitude, and following logic.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

It's bad but I'll allow it because shenanigans. Also, generally better to ask than assume..

[Twi]

GWG has a point here.

That said,  I am a master of making crap up, so I'm really not one to talk. >_>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Most of my crap is from mythology or books so...

[Akroma]

then Elf, please put some proper limitations. And keep in mind *please* that this is a high fantasy game where some players even play as gods. A *realistic* approach to accupuncture just makes the power so incredibly useless that I might as well just play a normal mouse


I mean, compared to super intuition as a "just come up with a solution to any problem or riddle" button, it's nothing




as for logic, went with the first thing that popped up in google, http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/how-species-actually-gone-extinct


I later dropped it as a source though, because i noticed too late that it mentions "since earth began", and not due to humanity. by that time it was too late to just retcon with another source, because like you, I do like logic - starting with the chronological order of events

[IamanElfCollaborator]

As much as I'd like to remain unbiased, both of you have a point.
However, there may be at least one billion extant species, counting super naturals (unicorns) and cryptids (drop bears may or may not be a thing). Really, it doesn't matter.

However, neither know that as technically, none of them have seen as much as a drop bear.

[Akroma]

Saying that both of us have a point is the definition of being unbiased

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I just realized my quibble. Give me a break dammit :c

Fiat. :3

1. Normal mice don't have opposable thumbs or speech. Those put you head and shoulders above a mouse, minimum. Also, you're at least a few times bigger.
2. How about sticking to what it does in the actual source material? You know, fix/disrupt the balance of yin and yan, stuff like that.

Also, that's higher than basically any estimate I've heard for species.
Or maybe I'm thinking of estimates for the number of animal species ever.

In such a high-power game, where most characters are so broken that I would not even use them as bbogs for most games, accupuncture is simply too weak. if you like, consider ancient chinese medicine a knock-off by the few tidbits they learned from the fingerlings hundreds of years ago, a time history books barely talk about.




the fingerlings just happen to have a much firmer grasp of the full extend of what re-routing the flows of mana within the body might do




that being said, as far as *source material* goes, someone being constantly hyper-embarrassed at everything might very well be a severe unbalance of ying and yang

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Mana boosted acupuncture can't petrify things. However, paralysis is permitted.

It's not your power, it's how you use it.

Selina's power, which lets her theoretically create any kind of object imaginable and has been shown to create various types of enchanted items. Played right, she could easily overpower the rest of the players. She does not.
Angel/Nuriel's power seems useful, but as I've noted, it's extremely limited in ability. Sure, it's not bad in combat, but it is bad at limiting collateral damage, and it has practically no practical use. This should put her towards the back of the pack, but it does not.
Gintama, Matt's alternate form, had the power to make people drunk. Situationally useful but extremely weak. He was the Kyle of his era.

And seriously, if all you can think of for "Enhanced Aim" is "Acupuncture!", you aren't thinking things through well enough. That's a killer in combat. You should be able to take down pretty much any kind of combat vehicle with a well-aimed pebble, kill people with a single blow, and so forth. Sure, not many non-combat applications, but until you think of one for fire magic that is reasonably likely to come up and isn't overshadowed by, say, flashlights, you have no room to complain.

And this isn't a game focused too much on "balance" as much as "fun". Which comes more from roleplaying.
