A middle ground between the full-on brainwave Solid Light and the Containment Gun, with some basic shapes, a visualizer, and a UV rangefinder.
The poor man's version of the big fancy thing, in other words. Won't do clockwork, will do stairs or ladders.
Aiming for some modularity/programmability.
As in there would be a set of presets that you could project?
Yeah, that seems ok.
No, no, no, no. The whole point is it's supposed to be dial, point, shoot.
Also, does solid light do gravity and other things like Portal solid light doesn't?
Do...gravity? As in are the projections affected by gravity? Yes they are.
Could I use Empathetic Gland + Charisma to figure out why an alien is doing something? Or would that require another roll like Brain or Intuition or Gen. Knowledge? Assume it's about an alien that isn't too eldritch
Could I use Empathetic Gland + Charisma to try to communicate with an alien? Or at least intimidate or otherwise persuade it to do something? Again, assume it's about an alien that isn't too alien to be compatible.
First one, probably maybe.
Second one...maybe but to a lesser degree. Communication requires a lot more than knowing how someone feels.
Is effect of Attractive Bauble transmitted via vision? Can its effect be nullified with Mad Hatter distortion?
Does Black Halo technology absolutely require human contact, or could it be preprogrammed into a grenade or bullet? For example "Sensory deprivation" grenade. "Everybody is now Altered" grenade? Or grenade whose effect can be mentally programmed just before it is thrown?
It is done by vision, but I dunno about mad matter. No one has tried it yet.
Dunno, maybe. But it would be a pretty expensive thing to just huck around.
Solid light objects cannot replicate chemical or electrical systems.
does this mean the objects cannot be magnetic or electrically conductive?
What properties can we alter? is it limited to size and shape?
It cannot be magnetic or electrically conductive.
It's size and shape, yeah.
Exo:
Pimp Dagger
A Monoatomic Razor with small deposits of pimpcane metal (not sure what it's actually called) in the handle. Because flying daggers with invisible blades are a safe idea.
Lenocane
A granular substance composed of pimp metal molecules bonded to calcium. If ingested or injected into the bloodstream, it naturally deposits itself in the bones. Exo users could either do this to themselves, in order to gain psychic control over their own limbs, or to enemies, essentially converting them into meat puppets. For the latter to be feasible, we'd need either syringe guns or hypodermic spears to forcibly deliver the Lenocane.
Uncon:
Radial Monosaw
A messy polearm weapon. It has Five monoatomic razors distributed evenly around a central wheel, each turned at an angle. An axle through the wheel connects it back to its long handle. When the wielder squeezes a button on the handle, internal motors rotate the wheel at a high velocity, allowing him/her to mow down anyone and everyone standing in their path.
Chain Monosaw ("The Gusonator")
A bulkier, close-quarters Monosaw variant. Rather than using full-length razors, the Gusonator has a multitude of tiny (we're talking a few centimeters long) monoatomic blades attatched at a sharp angle to a rotating chain. In appearance, it's essentially a bulky sword-chainsaw hybrid with invisible teeth.
I don't think I ever got a reply on these. Could you look them over, PW?
1. So what is the purpose of this? Just having some of that stuff in the handle to use?
2. Well...hm. Well there are a few problems here. The biggest being that in order to control things in a reasonably efficient way, you'd need a pretty good amount of this stuff in you. Second, deposition of calcium into bones isn't instant...or even quick. And injecting it is gonna cause hypercalcemia and potentially cause them to spasm like crazy. Or die.
3. This could work.
4.This could also work.
Q-carbon anything. Yes, no, or confusion.
Confusion.
1.What shape is the solid light matter generator? Is it a box, an implant, a wand, what?
2.What size is it, if applicable?
3.Where does it project light from?
4.What surface needs to have light shone on it for the generator to function?
5.Can we use artificially generated light, and does that light need to be externally visible?
6.What are the limitations on how much light can be created? Could you spend years creating a massive stockpile, or is there a limit to how much solid light can exist at once?
7.Are there other limitations, such as light needing to be near the generator?
8.Can sods operate solid light matter generators? IIRC, they could operate uncon equipment.
Boxy.
Normal one? About shoe box, maybe a bit bigger.
Oh it doesn't need like to be on the box itself, it just needs light in the area it's generating the matter in. It turns light into solid matter. No light, no matter.
As long as the light is in the right wavelength, it's fine.
It's limited by distance from the generator, ie by volume created. You can only make so much before there's no more space to fill.
None that immediately spring to mind.
Hmm...Theoretically yes, but it still requires mind to form things correctly.
