If someone gets his speech high enough, maybe we can put it in spray cans and hand them out so the civilians can restrain themselves. Outsourcing's the future, y'know.

Idea right now is to try and slow down the horde so I can throw some nukes at them. Or, if enough get cut down (not very likely) I can close in and use the thermite to prevent them reusing that biomass.

My mental image might not be accurate, but I imagined the Altered wave as this sort of tsunami, like a hundred or so meters tall. Maybe that's why I find the idea of shooting it funny.

Well, they ARE shooting nukes and the laser is capable of cutting buildings in half. And there might be some orbital bombardment involved. So they'll probably manage to slow them down for a few seconds.
When the first reaction to an enemy is "prep the evac shuttles", you not only know that you aren't going to win but have also accepted it and planned for it.

We don't know if these Altered will be as strong/numerous as in the ghostship memory. At any rate, I don't think I'll only get a single turn to do something, so I can hopefully still try to throw nukes at them or throw up a heatblade or gravity wall or something.

I was planning on tinkering that exact same thing when the mission is over. Oh well, I have other ideas too.
Five DD says you can't make Armsmaster's halberd. Or a Dragon suit.

1. Why would you flavor it?
2. If it works as the original containment foam did, suffocation won't be an issue. Friendly fire, yes, but hey, no suffocation! (Pain to get out of the clothes if you don't have the solvent, though...)

I second this motion. Who has the highest Speech score at the moment?

Yeah, I was about to say 'distressingly, May', but no, Charles here has a rather distressing 9 speech and a +1 prof bonus. The plan can't fail! (It can overshoot spectacularly)

I don't think he'll need more speech as much as he'll need a good decompensator. Or overcompensator, if those exist.

You'll need some surgery for 'overcompensating' wink wink nudge nudge.

... It's late, okay?

1. How else could you sell it as hairspray?
2. That was a joke. The proper Miyamoto's Bubbly Foam of Not-Hurting actually forms an impregnable shield around the person it hits and then shunts them to an alternate dimension and freezes them in time for good measure. It keeps them there long enough for the ARM to clear the fallout from the overload.

syvarris' posts: Now with 0% content!

That... actually sounds very tempting. I know it's a bad idea to multiclass and especially in such a dangerous manner (probably ~25% chance of death)
3 DD says it's almost exactly 17% chance of death.  You in?

Good luck, by the way. Nonlethal weapons will go a long way towards both reducing cleanup costs and PR. Plus, it makes you feel better to know you're not killing people, you know?
*snickers*

Sure they exist, the armory is full of them.  Check the Conventional section.

I'll take that bet.

"Good show lads, good show! Now, anyone care to help me put this thing in the pit? Oh, and you're all welcome to join us where we sit, the more the merrier.
"I'll pass."
"Sure, do what ya want buddy. Say, I don't think I caught your name though. I'm Ernie, by the way.
"My name is mine alone."
"...Eh, why not. Some call me...Tim."
((Welcome to the games Mr. Mine Alone.))

Huh?
