I want my Paladins to make more Paladins by biting people.

Spoiler: Explanation (click to show/hide)

At the moment, I have to give current Paladins the unaging and combat-enhanced traits myself, every time, at the cost of Essence. I thought about making them their own race but making a warrior race is unethical, would make Darruth dislike me, and growing soldiers take a long time. I could have a kind of potion created that would provide the unaging and combat-enhanced traits but the recipe could be stolen and then the world would be ****ed.
If a Paladin can make another human unaging and combat-enhanced themselves, I wouldn't have to spend Essence every time I needed to make new Paladins, I would avoid the various dilemmas involved in making a warrior race, and the secret to becoming immortal cannot be stolen.

Spoiler: Details (click to show/hide)

Both parties must consent to transforming into a Paladin - otherwise the bite would just do some damage like a normal bite.
Paladinitry can only be spread by bite. That means that it cannot be spread by blood, saliva, unprotected sex, magic, etc. Only a bite. A consensual bite.
Fun fact: I'd finished watching Hellsing about a week or two ago.

$$$
Price check on granting all Full Paladins (those who are unaging and combat-enhanced) the ability to make other Humans unaging and combat-enhanced by biting people.

..Why did you even go into stasis? You would have gotten more essence that way, and you where gone less than a day. Its kind of abusing it at that point...

[Andres]

Didn't you make a race of mindless humans? One would think that would be more unethical...

About as unethical as creating a species of ant.

And we already have a warrior race, right? Fusil's?

They're not bred to kill - they're bred to use weapons. Sure they're really good at using weapons, but they haven't been fitted out with the psychological requirements that would befit a warrior race. The Armu are basically Care Bears. Care Bears covered in tentacles and weapons, yes, but Care Bears none-the-less.

Remember that one time where you were imprisoned one day, and by the end of the next day you were dead? That's why.

Humanoid ants. Made to fight wars. And kill....So basically a worrier race.

Care Bears covered in tentacles, weapons, and cosmic powers!

Oh? And what would you have done if I had abused safe stasis to wait out my sentence?

Except they can't reproduce, so less of a race (and even an ant, really) and more of a human-shaped, biological computer. They're not even warriors, actually. Warriors tend to actually be good at fighting and are implied to do a lot of training. The only advantage that the Saeva have over normal humans is that they can be produced in much, much greater numbers for less Essence cost.

Oh? And what would you have done if I had abused safe stasis to wait out my sentence?

I'd complain to the GM.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Safe stasis will now pause sentences. It is, after all, complete stasis.

Can incorporeal things die?

[IcyTea31]

Obviously, considering gods can die, and they are incorporeal unless they choose to manifest.

[Andres]

Corporeal beings that stay in an incorporeal plane too long become incorporeal. Incorporeal things can die. The Death Battle Plane is incorporeal. When a corporeal being dies in the Death Battle Plane he is transported back in the exact condition he was in when he entered the plane, and back from where he entered it. So if a corporeal being stayed in the Death Battle Plane for long enough and became incorporeal and was then killed, it should theoretically go back to the Corporeal Realm as a corporeal being. Right? See, Stirk? If I'd made the plane myself (instead of the Council) this kind of loophole might not even be possible. On another note, does anyone want to volunteer to die in the Death Battle Plane to see if a Council-made plane can trump god death?

[Vgray]

I've actually been vaguely wondering if gods could use the DBP for personal duels.

[Stirk]

Corporeal beings that stay in an incorporeal plane too long become incorporeal.

...Really? When did that happen? And how is that relevant?

o if a corporeal being stayed in the Death Battle Plane for long enough and became incorporeal and was then killed, it should theoretically go back to the Corporeal Realm as a corporeal being.

....So? What would the point of that be at all? I can see no practical function of this in any way.

ee, Stirk? If I'd made the plane myself (instead of the Council) this kind of loophole might not even be possible.

Whouln't that be a good thing, not a bad thing?

[Andres]

...Really? When did that happen? And how is that relevant?

Since always, actually. It's very relevant if you want to hide a large army for an extended period of time. Luckily, there are alternatives.

....So? What would the point of that be at all? I can see no practical function of this in any way.

Neither can I right now, but it's bound to come up as a Chekhov's Gun sooner or later.

Whouln't that be a good thing, not a bad thing?

That's the thing. We don't know yet.

[Stirk]

You aren't very good with secrets, are you?

Neither can I right now, but it's bound to come up as a Chekhov's Gun sooner or later.

When, under any circumstances, would having an incorporeal being limited to the Arena ever help anything? If you really want incorporeals, they are actually cheaper than their cousins....

[Andres]

You aren't very good with secrets, are you?

Why bother? Archangels are basically one-man armies anyway and they don't need any fancy-pants workarounds to go someplace and sterilise it.

When, under any circumstances, would having an incorporeal being limited to the Arena ever help anything? If you really want incorporeals, they are actually cheaper than their cousins....

No idea. That's why it's so Chekov.

What happened to the megabeasts? What world are they on? Why does no one care about the bloody gas giant and its bloody moons? If we're not going to use them can we just get a refund on them?

(Coming from a MURDERER? After you KILLED me, threatened genocide on my races, and tried taking all my stuff, you deserved it.)

Almost every every part of that is wrong. I did not murder you. We don't know what did.
Again, I didn't kill you, we don't know what did.
I threatened genocide on your races as a joke on OOC. If I tried that stuff IC then I would be imprisoned for breaking Part I of Anath's Code of Conduct (let's not call it a Starter Code of Conduct anymore, it's clear that we don't intend to expand on it.) Again, that genocide stuff was on OOC - it didn't actually happen.
I did at some points try to take your stuff, but then I relinquished my claim on them sometime before I was killed.
I did not deserve death because I did not kill you, I didn't try to kill you, and I even tried to save your life.

[Vgray]

In any case, the unofficial council prosecutors think dying was punishment enough for Yaos. That does not in any way mean Serac and Cim are off the hook.
