Given that I turned a bone into a powerful weapon with a 2 on a luck role, yes. (The reason European sword s are good weapons is because there weight causes internal bleeding through armor. As a result, the bone blade was a complete success. I did my research when creating this aspect.)

((That luck roll is in my color, so it was probably for the book that tried to punch me in the face.))

((That's not to say I doubt the lethality of my new sword-claws, though.))

((About swords and armour.

Most european swords were not heavy. They were designed for dueling people without armour. You don't need a lot of impact to kill someone without armour, you need speed and reach. Swords were designed to be as light and fast as possible, usually less than 4 pounds. That's why they have that groove in the middle, to lighten the sword without weakening it. The exception to this is zweihanders, which were mostly designed to cut the tips off of pikes. No swords were made to deal with armour though. If you want to get through armour use a hammer or mace.

There is one technique knights used, called Mordhau. They literally held the sword by the blade and hit people with the handle like a mace. There was also Halfswording, where they held halfway up the blade to get more control and make it easier to stab between armour plates. But no one carried a sword to deal with armour. These techniques were used as backup for when they lost their mace or other anti-armour weapon.))

Whatevs, it still created a blade like weapon. Also, I want to see how the essences collapse.

What are the bonuses and penalties for being a skeleton? What is the required comp and pot to become one?
15/15, bonuses for more. You lose END, gain SPD and some asorted being a skeleton bonuses.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

PM'ed.
Once I'm done, find the council chamber and create 4 essences.

As mentioned in the previous turn, the most exciting field of battle this year will be in the Arstotzkan capitol, with plenty of close-quarter fighting and siege warfare.  Arstotzka, accordingly, spent their design phase developing a high-altitude tactical bomber.

Mmph. A little stiff, but I'll manage. Is SPD used for initiative? Also, I thought I'd loose dex rather than end.

Name: Forric, The logical positivist
Affinity: Heat
Description(optional):N/A expect for the fact he hates unverifiable claims.
STR= 0
DEX= 2
SPD= 2
END= 0
POT= 4
Another fire/heat/flame mage? Don't we already have two more of those? Can no-one think outside of the stereotype that all mages must be able to throw fireballs?

Also, re-balance those stats. You should bring your stats to multiples of three for a consistent bonus, and/or bump a few of them up to one to negate the penalty for having zero points in a stat.

Two aether essences. Take appropriate precautions against any idiots collapsing essences in a harmful way.

As the necromancer and the mad scientist delved into deeper and deeper conversation, soon all was revealed to Jiksap. And he knew that he could not resist the offer of one clearly at least as mad as himself.

((ATHATH's ultra top secret offer has been accepted. Please make sure to enter the building for your turn though, I would prefer if I wasn't secretly screaming out the window at you.))

Shias is bored and annoyed for having to wait. He makes 5 essences in meantime.

Hey... if the Gambler got a large enough bonus to his luck, he could collapse 20 or so luck essences in one turn with little to no risk.
