Perhaps, but a regular explosion can deal with that as well, without creating a hostile superman in the process. It does have the advantage that it can probably bypass armor to get at the dude within, but the pill itself cannot bypass armor. So it seems the only real situation you can use it without there being a better, cheaper alternative is if there's several armored enemies close together with an unarmored one you can hit with the pill. If shooting the pill into a person like that even works in the first place.


EDIT: no wait, I just had an idea. If mewling fleshmasses, which are small and easy to make more off, are like humans for the purposes of testing magic bullshit and such, then one thing that could be done is make a big 'grenade'- type item with a mewling fleshmass and a pill within it. Upon detonating the nade the pill is force-fed to the flesh thingie to active the armor-bypassing effect and take out armored foes.

And if the new entity is normally formed close to the pill eating person, you could combine that nade with a regular explosion (timed to go off a bit after the force-feeding of the pill) to quickly kill the new gestalt being (which is naked upon forming, iirc) before it has a chance to reorient or arm itself.

Out of all the suggestions, I think I like Iron Curtain and Sergeant Steel most. I'm going to go with Sergeant Steel, because it flows nicer than Iron Curtain and it shortens to SS for an added bonus.

Edit: for who's interested, the words were: Magic, eldritch, survivor, loyal, defender

Why is this a bonus? I get what SS means, but... as military organisations go, they weren't even that cool...

Well, Comrade Dimitri has the whole commissar thing going, so the SS serves as a kind of counterpart there. And I disagree with them not being cool, as far as evil organisations go, their uniforms were pretty swag.

Movie Night broadcast begins in about an hour and 15 minutes.

I'll be taking votes of the people in there to determine what we watch first.

Welp, my new Id just came in. He's not quite as interesting in appearance as Comrade Dimitri, but he's pretty cool regardless.
I bet piecewise could make a game with those things. "Give me your five words. Get the monster born out of your being. Fight other people's monsters for fame and fortune." Heh. We might have joked about obtaining aliens usable line Pokémon in the past, but it looks like we got that after all.

Edit: Oh! Oh! And when you lose, your opponent gets your monster. By extracting your brain.
Oh man that'd actually be really neat.
Hey Piecewise?
Jojo Pokemon?

It seems extremely hard to balance.

True, but people tend to whine at me when they get curbstomped because their words didn't evoke anything interesting in my head.

Then maybe allow more than one 'roll'?

That sounds like the perfect motivation to come up with more interesting words.
