has confessed to being jack the ripper and that she spent the last 100 years murdering her way through the world. she is plenty guilty. hainuwele simply lacks proof that she can't be trusted, while jack lacks proof that she can be trusted.
Isn't the subject at heart if she should be trusted or not?
And if we're going to put Jack on trial, we're going to put Hainawule on trial. You can't have double standards just because one was supposedly in self-defense. After all...
1. Hai's problem was easily solved with simple signage, and she killed innocents.
2. Jack's been killing criminals for over a century, and she has to do it to survive.

as for elf not working out with you how the stuff works, well, it might be for the best to get that discussion going then. GMs and players alike benefit from knowing the limitations of an ability beforehand. eventually, there will be a misunderstanding at a crucial juncture. it makes the GMs job significantly easier if the game is not disrupted mid-play by long discussions
Yeah.

I am not argueing, for the plot I have in mind, I really have to know where Wills limits are, beforehand. I don't wanna have to arbitrarily somehow keep Will away from it, should he express interest, nor do I want discussions with GWG when he does what he thinks should be no problem, while I think that this shouldn't be possible. It's in a GMs duty to try and spot disruptions like this *before* they become relevant.
Yes, because that's all you were arguing abour.

what's kyle power anyway?

I only got that he is super sturdy
Way back when, it was air magic. He's exchanged that for a persona with air and healing powers.

Eh, his magic was more open-ended. Persona only has specific spells it can use.

I see

edit: wait, why is he only taking half damage from physical attacks then? I thought super powers and personas were mutualy exclusive?

It's due to Merlin if I am correct in thinking. It sends half of the physical damage into Merlin.

No, he just takes half physical. Period. Merlin isn't really physically there.

RNG roll. I rolled to see what move he'd get. One higher and he'd get a much more OP thing (obviously nerfed, but blah); a passive that gives everyone 20 mana and HP at the end of battle.

It never ever wears off. Granted, there will never be an occasion he takes no damage from any attack until such time comes as everyone does.

But hey, Kyle doesn't need to expend END to raise his defences as much. Woo.

He got it upon level up, after acquiring a Persona. I roll every time Richard, Yuri or Kyle level up to see if they get a new move.

((How has she read his mind here? Waiting until jack makes the next move is what *she* is doing, wether will is going to do the same, well, good for him))
<If you agree that her body count is way too big for her to just sleep soundly on the couch...>
The only indication that this might be the case is my note that Will was planning to sleep lightly and with his bracelet on.

((Yes, curse you permanent guests and fridge raiders))
Yeah, that's getting silly by now. Two admitted serial killers have entered in the past half-week, we might need to revamp this thing.

Oohhhh damn.

She finds....a cave. Specifically, one marked with the seal of Thoth. Set looks pissed.
".. Bastard broke into my armoury!"
((... He actually marked the cave with... Nevermind.))
If he's in the cave and can tell it's marked, the markings are inside. Which makes sense.

"So on a scale of one to demon how nutty is Ra now?"
Says the demon.

that's...not so much of an exchange, is it?

if my power was apple, and I exchanged that for an apple AND a bananna, I'd more call it *expanded*
Only if the apple was the same size as the original. Kj's complaints about the air powers pretty clearly indicate they aren't.

but why?
*throws up hands*
Because Persona.
It makes as much sense as shooting yourself in the head with a fake gun to summon mythological figures.

not the occasion to which the resistance applies, I mean where and how he got it
I mean, he didn't start with it, or did he?
He got it upon level up, after acquiring a Persona. I roll every time Richard, Yuri or Kyle level up to see if they get a new move.
...They're going to be getting more abilities? While everyone else only gets stats? Geez.


One thing that occurred to me about Will's power: Tattletale had problems with headaches when she overused her powers. Perhaps the MP represents how close he is to that?
The problem is that Will is stated to have even less ability to turn off his power than Tattletale; he would logically be leaking MP all the time. Remember how part of his touch-phobia has to do with his powers informing him how filthy and germy everything is? This change quite easily has the possibility to make him worse than useless if done wrong.
Another possibility is much like what wildbow did with Worm to keep Tattletale from being OP: Don't give her access to all the information. Him, if we're applying this to Will. This requires a little more ingenuity with developing the plots, though--having the object of the plot just walk up to the door and start chatting with Will and the others wouldn't work.
