Pricecheck to make the ambiant background noise of the universe occasionally shift into creepy circus music.

... why?

I mean I understand it fits your character but...

It's odd and really funny at the same time.

Whenever you ask "Why" when it comes to Meow, the answer will usually be "Why not~?"

[Stirk]

Those are all questions I have in my head. Leaving them unasked means assuming or guessing their answers. Also, updates are now every 48 hours so they probably wouldn't stall any updates.

...A lot of them are just common sense things that you really should be able to figure out yourself (NO, the penguin is just sillyness), or your standard Minmaxing/power gaming, or questions that have already been answered/are displayed prominently (YES HE USES 3d6). Combined, this is a lot of pointless work for the GM that he really shouldn't have to answer.

[Andres]

(NO, the penguin is just sillyness)

Assuming.

your standard Minmaxing/power gaming

I want to know just what I'm capable of doing as a god. I want to do it all. Limiting myself to only half of that stuff just because it would give me an advantage makes no sense.

(YES HE USES 3d6)

He's only mentioned using 3d6 when it comes to Flux training. I want to know if he uses it for other stuff.

[Happy Demon]

Ooh, another school of magic, I thought of it while trying to mentally construct just what the E'lement K'ruppt is capable of.

San K'ruppt (Sann Kropp=True Body), a bodily magic, which draws from the body of the user.
Users of San K'ruppt will be able to enhance their bodies, but at the cost of energy, not life energy, just energy, as in stamina or mana.
They can also meditate to more quickly recover said energy, though doing so is not easy, requiring significant mastery.
Healing, curing diseases, curing poison, enhancing strength, and they can do this to others as well, though it's difficult. They can solve many non-magical problems.
It can't stop fire or lift curses, only heal the damage they do.

San K'ruppt can also be used for fighting, enhancing your strength, durability, or shooting (short range) energy blasts out of your hands.
Not to mention it strengthening your instincts, and enhancing your senses.
But it does nothing to help the mind or soul, so users will often become dull minded or revert to bestial behavior, as the body's instincts begin to take precedent over the mind.
The effect is difficult to counteract, and those who begin to become dull-minded will likely not notice this happening before it's too late.
And if you use San K'ruppt too recklessly, it can affect your mind directly, making you start to go insane.

[Stirk]

Penguin: NO! STATED PROMINENTLY ABOVE THE SPOILER!

And common sense.

I want to know just what I'm capable of doing as a god. I want to do it all. Limiting myself to only half of that stuff just because it would give me an advantage makes no sense.

....What...Do you not know what Min/Maxing and powergaming are?

He's only mentioned using 3d6 when it comes to Flux training. I want to know if he uses it for other stuff.

Why would he change die for other stuff? As we know he uses that, and we have seen the results, and he blatantly told us that 3 and 18 where crits (Which are the lowest and highest values respectively...)

What I am saying is that you really shouldn't have to ask most of these questions if you just paid attention.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Rolepgeek: You can be on all three at once, yes. Hopefully we get to making transport like the gates or the flying space rocks with sparks soon. As of now, the incorporation-into-the-world thing will result in having around:

• 10 Ichor cap for 1E+1F caps consumed
• 11 Ichor cap for 2E+2F caps consumed
• 15 Ichor cap for 5E+5F caps consumed
• 19 Ichor cap for 7E+7F caps consumed
• 23 Ichor cap for 8E+8F caps consumed
• 26 Ichor cap for 9E+9F caps consumed
• 30 Ichor cap for 10E+10F caps consumed

FArgHalfnr: Thankfully, that's not the kind of IC in OOC I had in mind. (It was IC fighting/arguing taken to OOC) The policy will be updated soon.

micelus: Manfest Anima, I believe, conjures solid things from willpower like Bigby's spells or Green Lantern powers.

Ritual magic, if I understand the listed description correctly, involves mortals inventing new spells by placing objects in certain large (building-sized and up) arrangements and burning them to produce certain effects. I imagine temporary portals would be well worth the trouble.

TheBiggerFish: Thanks

Vgray: Immunity to disease is not included in [Immortality]

Rolepgeek: Looks like it'll soon be time to add a few zeroes to the print functions and price checks (i.e. 1 000 -> 1 000 000, old price for 1 000 = new price for 1 000 000)

Andres: It was a silly RTD, logic doesn't apply. Also, I just rolled yes and no for the second part and inserted more penguins because it just had to be a penguin that got killed and not one of those pesky, meddling polar bears. I advise that you tone it down on the 0-energy actions thing lest you end up on the receiving end of a "why we can't have nice things quip."

Spoiler: Selected answers (click to show/hide)

Do gods have magic? Maybe
When gods use magic, is it just 0-energy actions? No
Are 0-energy actions more powerful than magical actions? Maybe
Are 0-energy actions subject to rolls? Maybe
Are actions which use energy subject to rolls? Maybe
Where does magic come from? The soul? Ambient divine energy? Something else? Ambient energy
Is the source of magic different between gods and mortals? Sometimes
Is soul sense a normal god ability, a 0-energy action, or magic? Yes
Is god magic more powerful than mortal magic? Maybe
When you were rolling on my Adventure Day, were you assigning permanent stats or would my abilities change if I repeated the actions? RTD, rolling for outcomes, not skills
Were penguins actually chasing me at 175 km/h? If they were, that would mean I was running away at a speed equal to or faster than 175 km/h, even though my max speed running through the desert was 26 km/h. Also, I don't remember penguins being able to move that fast. Because PENGUINS! With those cuddly wuddly faces and wicked sharp beaks and sharp dress code, what's not to love?
Would creating a biosphere with a Cretaceous theme cost 0 energy? Maybe (i.e. does anyone contest it?)
Are all the races currently residing on the first world close to one-another? I know the Humans and the Djinn are but I don't know about the others. Maybe
Is it possible to increase a god's physical strength by physically training? Maybe
Is it possible for a god to increase its ability to do magic by practising magic, studying it, or learning about it from a wizard? Maybe
Do gods start maxed out in terms of magical ability? Maybe
Are gods better at using magic they create? Hopefully
Do gods start maxed out in magical ability when it comes to schools they create? Maybe
Since both pyromancy and plasmamancy deal with fire, does that mean magic that uses fire in general is more powerful as a result? Maybe
Would combination pyromancy/plasmamancy yield more powerful results than using purely one school? Not for the same wizard
Does stacking have any effects beyond bureaucracy? Yes
Does parallelling have any effects bureaucracy? Paralleling? (Mirroring: Yes)
Are rolls usually done in 3d6? Maybe
When do you usually roll? When I'm updating IC
Could I beat Rose in a fight? Maybe
Could my civilisation angel beat Rose in a fight if he employed 0-energy actions? Maybe
"Answering prayers not too elaborately (e.g. turning the petitioner into an angel, erasing the petitioner from existence, flooding the entire region)" Does this mean it's possible to turn petitioners into angels, erase them from existence, and flood regions with 0-energy actions so long as the god doesn't go into much detail when doing so? The wording kinda makes it confusing to me. Emphatic no
Why does libromancy mirror pact-binding? Would libromancy help pact-binding by allowing for the creation of physical contracts? It operates on a roughly opposite mechanism
Is it possible to change my god's form into that of a mountain-sized titan and physically crush an elephant without energy or 0-energy actions? Just an irrelephant elephant? Sure, why not. Looks disturbed though.

That's Manifest Anima? Thought it was something soul-related.

Sounds kinda like a cross between a berserker and a cleric.

[Happy Demon]

The mind-dulling effect comes from any form of San K'ruppt, so it's risky to use.
That, and be reckless and you'll go insane.

[Rolepgeek]

Am I able to give up 10E and 10F cap? And if I do, am I able to gain F cap back?

More than I expected. Certainly not complaining.

Also, I'd suggest adding maybe one or two zeroes at most.

So, uh, can I ask how big I'll be/how much Control I'll have over myself as the City/within the City?

[micelus]

Ya know, this background music might just stifle the creation of any 'original' music. With preordained 'divine' music being omnipresent, mortals might not realise that music can sound different from what is already available. Any musicians might just do covers of background music with any original music being deemed blasphemous or odd. Eventually this would result in two camps, one who can't stand this modern stuff and refuses to call it music and more tolerant music lovers who think mortal jams are as good or better than what the gods came up with.

Ok, so I get a 15% discount when creating an angel. That's a thing. Would I instead get a 10% discount if I created a half-angel/half-Human? What traits would such a creature even have?

I'd need to know what kind of traits a half angel gets before I can answer that.

[Stirk]

...Like KJP said, there isn't much describing an "Angel" aside from taste. What would that even be? A human race with the [Divine] trait?
