Given what happened the last time Noir tried to use her magic... is it really the greatest plan for her to try to heal Ebony?

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

Why do I have the feeling my speed skill saved me once again? At this point I think I'm going to just going to lvl up speed and sharp.

If that's the case then me getting Ebony's speed up to 0 from -1 probably saved her and I may invest into it further, if Ebony lives.

hey ozarck, now that we have "recovered" a cart, can we get that mission briefing?
Tomorrow or Friday.

but seriously Ozark can I actually do that have noir..try to self improve off mission and gain stats become smarter...or at the very least knowleadgble.............I suppose noir isent stupid like mentally its just.....she has very little common sense and its...very very bad....but yeah Count Noir off next mission Ozark unless I say I want in if she makes it out.
Nope. She can sit out, but that's not going to help her stats. Edit: She needs to eat. She is mortal. that is GM fiat.

Given what happened the last time Noir tried to use her magic... is it really the greatest plan for her to try to heal Ebony?
is she going to pull the stick out first? You are the team's best healer, so getting you able to concentrate could be beneficial. Huh, all the healers are wounded. Except Noir.

It did not.

Nah. If I could have picked who just died ... it wouldn't have been Samuel and Solam, that's for damned sure.
I just got lucky with Grunts, heh heh.

You should have felt like this from the moment Ebony met her.

Cho has +1 med, that makes him a healer right? hes not wounded as far as im aware.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

in that case, he should dig through Aylia's bags and grab the medkit in there.

She is mortal. that is GM fiat ((by mortal you mean can be killed right? But you don't mean not being able to live forever? Because I remember talking about how noir could live at least thousands of years if she wasent immortal Ill accept the neededing to eat food and drink thing as her father like feeding her via his energy when she was with him or something to explain how she survived in that case then.)

Since we seem to be killing off record numbers of people (Is this gonna be the first mission where we score more player deaths than there are people on-mission?), I figure I'd talk about an interesting character concept I came up with.  Maybe someone else will like it and use it.

Oz, is the specialization described above even something that could work in Omega Legion?

Ah, so I'd get the ability to... generically buff other people with no real input beyond that, be a big old wizardy target without anything to defend myself with, and reduce the overall quantity of hilarious critfails.

Yes, you are right. I didn't think of it because it wasn't part of the skillset you typically use.

She is mortal. that is GM fiat ((by mortal you mean can be killed right? But you don't mean not being able to live forever? Because I remember talking about how noir could live at least thousands of years if she wasent immortal Ill accept the neededing to eat food and drink thing as her father like feeding her via his energy when she was with him or something to explain how she survived in that case then.)
I have plenty of ideas about how Noir survived before. You just calm your little heart. Noir is mortal and can be killed. As for how she ages, well, let's just see, shall we? As for needing to eat and drink, and as for what her father's realm was like, and all those things, since it wasn't explicitly fleshed out beforehand, it is as the GM declares. You are done developing Noir's backstory in ways that can potentially affect current gameplay. I mean, heck, I don't mind creatures that don't need to eat or drink - there are several in this game already. But it was an inherent part of their character already. And we've had this discussion before about adding traits, skills, and abilities mid-game. We just don't do it. Noir needs to eat, she needs to drink, she needs sleep, she can be killed, and she does age. Accept this or ... well, please, if you want, by all means continue arguing with the GM about it. In no way will that possibly go amiss.  ::)

Since we seem to be killing off record numbers of people (Is this gonna be the first mission where we score more player deaths than there are people on-mission?), I figure I'd talk about an interesting character concept I came up with.  Maybe someone else will like it and use it.

Oz, is the specialization described above even something that could work in Omega Legion?
This is doable, but with a few notes. One, a channeler would have the same issue that Noir has: Mutually contradictory powers acting through them cause trouble. Two: not all magic is the same - some things will simply be out of a channeler's range, just like with Aylia's shapeshifting. Three, while softening a roll is a success for a channeler, there is potential for backlash, feedback, or interference in the course of the main spell. I'm sure there are other limitations, but those three will do for starters.

I like the idea, but it also raises the same concern we had about your knife character, and Egan's demon - reliance on others can be quite troublesome in it's own right. Though, I see potential for this specialization as there are plenty of magical characters around for one to assist. It could be quite a powerful asset for the team, and one I'd have to take into consideration when developing meaningful encounters.

Ah, so I'd get the ability to... generically buff other people with no real input beyond that, be a big old wizardy target without anything to defend myself with, and reduce the overall quantity of hilarious critfails.
Of course, if you can think of a specialization that does the opposite, you are welcome to propose it.
