I suppose moaning would make it quicker no matter what. Unless they're bad people. In which case you can stab them.

Ninja:

Spoiler: The new char (click to show/hide)

That's a paddlin'.

[Rolepgeek]

if it wasn't a girl, but a fat greasy man, *kinks* is exactly how you avoid pat downs. when the security touches you, moan. BAM, pat down suddenly not very thorough

Turns out they keep a lipophile on staff for just that reason.

[Akroma]

it's very annoying that projeck usualy gets up only shortly before I go to bed


someone other than me try and take the initiative in this plot, as I certainly can't move things about

[Rolepgeek]

Falcons, peregrine falcons in particular, are literally the fastest animals on the planet.

Unless you want Bartimaeus to turn into a missile, you're stuck with that.

[Akroma]

yes, fastest when *diving*. Not quite the scouting manouver.

[Akroma]

I think We should discuss some limits on just quite how far Hilda can boost her damage potential. I mean, the coordinated attack should be devastation, but not d260 devastating

[smurfingtonthethird]

How much mana does this cost? That's craaaazy damage.

Also, why do I think she's going to jump behind Icarus and stab her or something?

[Akroma]

smurf, do you mind not giving projeck ideas?

we are commiting and combining 5 characters to this attack, if this does not work it's supremely rageworthy.

also yeah, that amount of damage is just stupid. there needs to be a hard limit for what Hilda can do with stat-shifting. for starters, size categories of spells should be limited by her base mag

[PrivateNomad]

Decrease the damage multpliers she can use? Like 1 or 0.5 less? It's the magic damage that's the real problem, mainly because of the multipliers.

[Rolepgeek]

Probably because that's exactly what she'll do because being able to beat a boss as easily as 'oh yeah we just teleport behind her derp' isn't fun or dramatic?

Fookin' teleport shenanigans.

[PrivateNomad]

And with that, raise the TN of it. Less damage multiplier, harder to fire. She would still get the damage out, but it would take a long time to charge.

[Akroma]

well, even without the multiplier, when handled like Icarus ability, adding even just a 50% to the roll is +30 damage if you have 60 mag.

I think the actual problem is the extreme stat allocation. I think all stats should have a minimum they can not be lowered below, so you can't just turn 4 skill to 0 and all put them in other stuff

edit: on a side-note, Ashfake does not know what is up. Even if she suspects *something* is up, if she'd teleport into where we are rather than counter-sniping Icarus, she has to suspect that everyone else is in the room with Icarus, meaning she will eat all of our attacks by doing essentialy what we need to do - closing the distance

[PrivateNomad]

0 SKILL means she can't aim at all, and is extremely bad at pretty much everything.
0 SPEED means she can't move at all.
0 STR means she wouldn't even have the strength to aim a huge cannon
0 MAG means something else
0 DEF means she is fucked if she gets hit.
0 RES ditto

Mininum stats is a good idea.

[Rolepgeek]

She should probably be unable to lower them to less than 25% of their base, and unable to raise them above 400% of their base.

[Akroma]

so we have 6 stats with currently 70 points to allocate between them. I'd say no stat may go below 5, and no stat may be increased by more than 20 points- which also makes a difference depending on what base-form Hilda starts at, making them actually matter
