Good ol' ER doesn't cease to amuse me. Now I'm even happier I wasn't anywhere near that. I can deal with explosions, mindfuck and aberrations but not being subsumed into a gestalt entity.

Since my new character has the same stats as Anita, can she take her place on the Joker mission?

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

This...this makes me soo happy, we became something like stan but greate. Perhaps this will be the Arm's jugger naught. Though for some reasion the way PW described this reminds me of A space Marine with Multiple Personality disorder.

The real question is how long it'll take for the Minmax Crew to get their hands on one of those candies and use it to minmax the shit out of everything.
You are assuming, of course, that each pill has the same effect. It might not.

Not to mention that in order to survive the transformation or even be affected by it, you need to have the necessary stats and roll well.

I have created a monster.

Enjoy at your own peril, name temporary.

So, what I find most amusing is that everyone in the construct has +1 mind. So that should be fun :P


Oh, I need to remove the non-physical stats from the first table... or add in a way to label them 'n/a' or something, I kind of like how it looks right now. OH, I know!

Is it really minmaxing if you can just max everything?

I mean, first combination that jumps out to me is Xan, Auron and either Miyamoto or Milno. The problematic aspect of this, I think, is that one person just needs to conspire to get enough people in one room, and then take a pill.

Actually, imagine using a Friable Wish (the same kind of pill, of course, rather than any other horror that bag might have in it) in a large crowd. Fine terror weapon, methinks. Also kind of ideal for Xan and his +3 Mind, which increases its troublingness a bit. Could it work on a Sod, or with a Sod at its center? Or maybe a specially conditioned child? So many questions!

Harry's got the right idea; a Friable Wish grenade!  Let's harvest bodies for Frankenbominations!


Too bad it didn't get eaten on the Gyromatia escape shuttle, am I right?

dangit, i made a shitty page also "Gestalt".

perhaps just move my inventory section across to your page?

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

I imagine that would just be one mind going idle, effectively being one less person fighting for control of the body.
But what happens for example to the minds that were subsumed originally? Can the body use their stats and memories? Or are they lost forever?
probably lost forever. Mind stats are retained individually, so whoever has control uses their mind stat.

This turned out unfortunate. The Gestalt is way powerful now, and has six people's items.

...

and to think, this could have happened in the briefing room, with nearly everyone.


There's a reason I told them to get out. They could have turned ER into a suggestion game with one pill.

She hasn't been added to the wiki yet. I assume it's fine, because she has the exact same stats as Anita, but I think I still have to wait for that.

Mind, at least, is definitely a mental stat, as it's what the 4 of them will be fighting over the entity with. No idea about the other 3, this is just my first pass. Fortunately, the templates are easy enough for me to change.

If they're not a skill, highest one goes to the gestalt body, if they are a skill, then it depends on the mind taking the action. (The mind stat is going to be a bit odd. The the body itself has a mind stat equal to the highest one in the group and uses that for most things. You only use the "mind" stat of the individual consciousnesses in order to fight over control of the body.
