Only the first ever plane requires 10E

Only the first ever plane requires 10E

Yes, but we're still talking about entering a separate plane of existence that anyone with a bachelor's degree in dimensionmancy can enter. Seriously, not even someone with a real life PhD in alternate dimensions could even look at another dimension.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Wait what? Where does that information come from?

[Andres]

Locked0 <1>: Locked to mortals without permission or magic (automatically applied)
Locked+1 <x1.1>: Locked to mortals with good magic without permission
Locked+2 <x1.2>: Locked to mortals with excellent magic without permission

I'm guessing that a bachelor's degree is enough to count as "good" magic but even if it's not, it's still a pretty low threshold. Only dimensionmancy apprentices and under are blocked, from the looks of it. With a slightly looser lock, anyone with magic could enter.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Eh, updating

Locked0 <1>: Locked to mortals without permission or powerful magic (automatically applied)
Locked+1 <x1.1>: Locked to mortals with powerful magic without permission
Locked+2 <x1.2>: Locked to mortals with epic magic without permission

[Lord_lemonpie]

Would it be possible to create an afterlife/plane that lets everyone enter but lets no one escape? How much would such a lock cost?

[Kilojoule Proton]

It would just be getting as high a lock as you think you need and then letting anyone and everyone in

[Andres]

If all 22 gods were in support of it, would a proposal to create a universe's worth of matter pass with a cost of 0E due to participation discount?

[Kilojoule Proton]

Excluding potential discounts, it would be about 0.074E total (when I say total, I mean total cost, not per-player cost). Split 22 ways, the per-player cost drops to 0.0034. It's not exactly 0E, but the chance of someone spending 1E is fairly low.

[Andres]

That low? How much does it cost a single god to do a big bang, then?

[IcyTea31]

You heard it from KJP, folks: 3,4 per mille is a "fairly low" probability.

[Andres]

Can someone tell me what alignment my god is? He's neutral towards the evil gods but he doesn't do evil himself and is generally good. Neutral with good leanings, maybe?

[Kilojoule Proton]

Andres: 10 Ichor and a day of deliberately angering everyone if you know what I mean

As for alignment, it's highly situational and gets weird when you apply it to, for example, characters who recognize no authority yet live by incredibly strict rules*. If I had to be brutally honest, though, I would probably place Eid somewhere chaotic on account of resorting to dodging possibly having to pay for the extra constellations and then telling another god of having to pay for his own constellations despite having abstained on the relevant proposal. There haven't really been any good opportunities to demonstrate goodness or evilness, so I can't comment on that axis. (At least in YG0, I could have played an evil god by drumming up expensive proposals and then backing out at the last minute because of the whole one-stat CastFromHitPoints thing!)

Hmmm, what about the other gods?

Spoiler: Yet Another Silly Alignments Post (click to show/hide)

Sadiq: I haven't seen nearly enough of Sadiq to be able to place him, but his backstory indicates a history of backstabbings, a chaotic behavior probably also a bit on the evil side. On the other hand, he seems to have been at least reliable enough to trust whatever condition the Prince of Corruption and Yogwin were in. Probably chaotic non-good?

Yena and Tenat: Yena and Tenat act almost as foils for each other. Where one emphasizes growth, change, and generally fuzzy, imprecise means, the other emphasizes precision, planning, and perfection. Probably chaotic and somewhat lawful.

(At this point, I realize getting good/evil for all but the obviously evil is an impossible task without seeing interactions with mortals)

Zenurion: Zenurion is one of those obviously evil gods, loving bringing pain and suffering and improving conflict. While taking on the Hell project would ordinarily be a rather lawful action, Zenurion's brash impulsiveness indicates a more chaotic tendency.

Bohenar: Bohenar has also not been seen enough for a good judgment to be made.

Morthan: Morthan is also one of the obviously evil gods, focusing on the pain and suffering part. However, we haven't seen enough of Morthan to make a judgment on the lawful-chaotic axis.

Itia: Itia seems more driven by creation than anything else. Her attitude toward mortals has yet to be discovered. She may tend toward goodness, but this is uncertain.

--more to come?--

IcyTea31: I do have a bit of a problem with understatement

ADDIT: *I was thinking about Rorschach (Watchmen)  here

[micelus]

Was afraid that little story wouldn't do Sadiq justice. Sadiq legitimately considers everyone a friend. After all, what are friends for? He backs them up because they asked but since everyone is a friend and everyone wants help, why not get something on the side? Sadiq will gladly give anyone an army of Djinn but those very same Djinn might have a little mission. Friend wants to sack a few enemy (who is also Sadiq's friend) temples? The Djinn will help with that, no problem. Course, those very same Djinn will also ensure that the worshipers don't get killed (they are friends after all) and that that pile of treasure behind the altar ends up somewhere friendly.

But yeah, if we really must use DnD alignment, Sadiq would be...Chaotic Neutral? Maybe?

E: actually from a RL perspective, Sadiq is somewhat dickish.

How does making one angel cost?
