Lol I imagine noir if she gets the chance might he up for some penetrating with some of the female persuasuion if you know what I mean. :3 her motivation for joining was to do it to aylia anyway basically.

Heheh, tempting, but I think Rolland will be fun to play, especialy on a combat focused mission...

Poor Ozy having to deal with us

>Irrelevant Fluff

Fix'd.
((I'm also ~70% certain that her tail would roll on unarmed, and therefore at a -2.  She doesn't have the physical stats to use it, anyway.))

Please remember that such things are against the forum guidelines and will likely get you muted or banned if reported to the Toad.


One could also make a solid argument for the Knife being potentially the strongest character in the game.  Primarily because its core mechanic is controlling another character who can be of an arbitrary power level, and improving their abilities on top of that.  Essentially, it would be the strongest because you can always reply to "X is most powerful" by saying "X is even more powerful when controlled by the Knife".  That's kinda cheating, though, as the only difference from it being judged like a team would be that the knife can entirely dominate and reshape someone.  Also, it can be instantly defeated by telekinetically yanking it away from its owner and dropping it in the dirt, not to mention that it requires far more effort to become powerful than any other character.

Um I know that syvaris I was joking.
Also I would say it is not irrelavnt fluff it is litterally the basis for how noirs stuff works.Her holy magic is based off emotion and her dark magic is based from her father and he can take her magic away ((ie gm can take noirs dark magic away if said father would.)) I don't think it'd be unarmed since it has spikes and would most likely depend upon how you use it.Its the reason I gave noir piercing skill in the first place.

[spazyak]

Well Learning how you have the dark magic for Noir working pretty much fixed what I was wondering about how Rolland's daemon pact would work.

Um I know that syvaris I was joking.

Sure.  It didn't read quite like a joke, and it's always a good idea to warn in case of a person being unaware.

Also I would say it is not irrelavnt fluff it is litterally the basis for how noirs stuff works.

"The basis for how [a character]'s stuff works" is pretty much literally the definition of "irrelevant fluff" for the purposes of a discussion about power levels.  The only weight it has is for potential counter-strategies; in that area, Noir is actually better off than the vast majority of casters, as the only person who should be able to easily shut off her offensive magic is her father, who has no reason to.  It's easier to justify using antimagic effectively against someone like Clunkers or Ebony.

Her holy magic is based off emotion and her dark magic is based from her father and he can take her magic away ((ie gm can take noirs dark magic away if said father would.))

Noir has points in Will, and emotions are generally controlled purely in RP, so the first sentence has virtually no relevance to disabling her powers; thus it has no relevance in a discussion strictly about power.  As for the second point, as I will possibly reiterate many more times today, her father has no reason to cut off her power, especially at a crucial moment where doing so would likely kill her--I.E. a situation where strict power is very important.  The fact that it's sourced so directly from a god is more relevant than the fact that the GM has a slightly-better-than-usual justification for arbitrarily saying "Fuck You."

I don't think it'd be unarmed since it has spikes and would most likely depend upon how you use it.Its the reason I gave noir piercing skill in the first place.

The reason it would be unarmed is that it's a core part of her body.  Compare to the fact that Dar's claws roll on unarmed, rather than bladed, despite essentially being blades attached to his feet.

The strongest argument for bladed is that secone part--Oz very well might decide to let you roll on bladed, or at least respec, because you've never used either skill for anything else and never planned to.

(If responding, please use a spoiler as well)

[Unholy_Pariah]

Yeah, didn't think it would be that easy.

Although... Using metamorphosis to grow the wings and switch out a specialty is always an option.

Normally I'd consider it impossible to do on mission, but it does seem like we'd have the time..

Hunger will be an issue. to metamorphise you'll need to eat up a bit and then cocoon. meanwhile, what will Ebony do?

I don't see why hunger would be an issue, we have a ration pack, a bird, and it has been established that cho can summon edible swarms almost at will.
I knew he'd need to build up his biomass, it just seemed trivial compared to finding a safe place to hide and actually succeeding in the metamorphosis.

Also ebony would ostensibly guard me while she recovers and then I'd fly us both to aylia.

Still, mostly a theoretical exercise at the moment.

[Ozarck]

which do people think is the strongest?

Cho-Ja, Clunkers, Dar, and Ebony.

Edit: Hom, and Mordred as well.

[Unholy_Pariah]

I'm certainly starting to realize cho's potential, but having a place in the top four surprises me.

[Twinwolf]

Yeah, I think that if she lives long enough, Ebony could end up being very powerful - she's mostly limited by what she's got in her spellbooks, and that grows over time.

Magic:His magic functions like that of a pact with a demon of slaughter as the pact master, the strength of which is based on the favor he has with the demon and is often focused around blood and gore. )

Description: A man of a thin and fit build with short, shaggy hair that he generaly keeps out of the way of his yellow eyes which have a wolf like look to them.

His clothing appears to be something that would be fitting of a merchant of a well off commoner if not for the blood stains and dried bits of gore that cover it. His clothing is specifcaly a simple red shirt under a soft leather coat and a trifold hat, and some plain pants. His clothing appears to have been patched up from several tears with bits of leather and hides.

He generaly has a twisted smile fitting that of a psychopath exposing teeth that seem normal for the most part, except  for his cainine teeth seem to be slightly longer and sharper than a normal human.

How did you become part of the Omega Legion? Murder, carved a person's eyes out and ground glass into the wounds
Background (writing out another long one  for fun) : A man born near the edge of civilized area, living amongst tribes that raided poorly defended towns and villages. He was taught by some of his tribesman of  the teachings of their demon of slaughter they reveared as a teacher of war and of how to use fear as a weapon as keen as a sword blade. He was also tought how to call upon the power and favor of the demon of slaughter in battle. He trained and learned how to use a sword in raids, practicing on those who fought back. He grew to be pridefull and arrogant in his skill and tried to out the leader of his tribe and claim the position as his own, he failed and for the arrogance and stupidity of his attack he was kicked out from the tribe. He found the transition to civilized society hard and got into quite a few fights. He made a few friends that tried to teach him to be more "Civilized" and keep him out of trouble. Their teachings help, in part, but still he often turned to his old habits. One of these he did not abandone was the worship and following of the demon if slaughter. He would often offer up cups of blood or the skulls of things he'd hunt and kill. He found himself an easy source of offerings helping to protect the town from tribes like the one he used to be in that would raid it. Durring one of these raids though he was blinded in his left eye and the sight in his right eye was damaged. Desperate to get his sight back he worked outside town in an old mine to create a "blood fountain" which was a rough hewn bowl in some rock as a shrine to his god. He was given the task to gather eyes of those he killed and bring them to the fountain in return he would be granted his sight. It was at that point his already often brutal tactics and strange habits grew quite bloody, with him fighting and killing people in as painfull a way as possible to gain the favor ofthe demon. He even made a simple obsidian knife to carve the eyes out of those he could capture while they were still alive. Eventualy he was granted a pair of wolf like eyes as the mine he claimed fr his shrine grew to be a bloody mess of corpses and gore that smelled of deatha and decay. With this those in the village grew to distrust him and try to drag him out, he soon found himself hated with even one of his friends yelling at him and growing angry at him. His arguments with this friend grew into intensity till, one day, it ended in them fighting where he took his dagger and used in to carve out the eyes of his once friend before snapping the obsidian in her eye sockets. He tried to flee as people gathered to the screams of his victim but was chased down and detained being sent off to the omega legion. It was for this act of open violence and betrayal against a friend that he found his canines growing larger and sharper in his mouth

(The daemon Rolland has the pact with is is based on Yeenoghu from dnd))

[Ozarck]

I saw it, spaz. I wasn't ready to reply just yet though.

understand that whatever your character thinks he made a pact with might turn out somewhat different than he expects.
Also, understand that i am not doing external research to understand the demon's characteristics, so expect it to vary from the source material.

Otherwise, the sheet seems fine to me.

I arrive and check my quarters.

The two of you (Rolland and ... uh Please include your character's name in your posts so I can call them properly, unless yo uknow that the GM already knows them by name.) are dumped unceremoniously out of a wagon, still bound by the ropes that have constrained you for the last three weeks. You are thirsty, hungry, sore, thirsty, hot, thirsty and sunburned. You lay in the dust for some time before a pair of boots appears in your rather limited range of vision.

Names?

YES

You NPC the fuck out of that guard position, all standing around and glaring eyelessly.

[Egan_BW]

Well then, I'm not going to have much to do unless you bring stuff to me. What kind of people have been passing through here?

[spazyak]

Alright, and sorry Ozy...and there really isn't much in terms of source material to be honest, forgottenr ealms lore doesn't cover yeenoghu much.

[spazyak]

Struggle a bit and grumble
Rolland struggles a bit, grumbling
"Y'mind letting me out? Don't like being tied up like a beast to be slaughtered."

[Lenglon]

Okay, so it seems clunkers is a bit of a shoo-in for strongest, but what about versatility? I expect Aylia to place in this one, but Fiddler, Ebony, Cho, and others are all also strong competators. I think Ebony moght be the winner though. Those spells are just crazy-useful.
