I think it should be a general weakness to molten rock, as magma can only be found underground. Lava seems more appropriate and slightly more accessable.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

I suppose you would have to re-map them, so as to make their weaknesses more accessible/reasonable to the GM.
>_<

You don't though. Just keep in mind the rules for future creation. Also for your spidsr weaknesses, would magma = fire?
I still need to change stuff if I want to keep making my old creations in the future. It remains just as annoying.

I would prefer a specific weakness to magma rather than a general weakness to fire if that's okay.

It's fine

Speaking of lowest intelligence, that reminds me of the fact that it's probably your first time in prison. Don't worry, I can give you some tips, having spent some time in a few myself. The best way to make friends here is to drop the soap during shower time. Try it, I'm sure you'll love making friends like that!

Also, for the sake of avoiding confusion, can we rename negative resistances to weaknesses? cause otherwise people might try to confuse people or simply get confused and think that X creature is resistant to Y when it is actually resistant to Z.

I did mean molten rock in general, not that specifically underground.

I'd say yes, but it's honestly down to mr GM.
sorry to put you through the wringer.

I still maintain that having specific plants or animals as your weakness isn't overpowered and even quite flavourful but whatever.

My only problem with animals are the ones in the ocean. If you put an animal that is above ground and sorta common, I might be ok with it. Same goes for plants.

People who are actually a threat (angels, other horrors) shouldn't have any problems getting to the bottom of the ocean though? At least that was my impression. Yeah ordinary humans might have some trouble with it, but I don't view them as a threat in either case. I mean I could just replace it with eagles and albatrosses, not really a problem.

As for saffron and truffles, they were available in retail shops. Yeah they're expensive for their weight, but you're not supposed to use a lot of them in your food. Humans should have access to stocks of them, just not be able to replenish those stocks due to the apocalypse cutting off international trade.

((Alright! New rule, weaknesses can't be
 A weakness to a food
 A weakness to an animal that is in the water or not common
 A weakness to a plant
 Nuclear explosions and man made elements. Chemicals that are exetremely hard to get
 ))
((I think nuclear explosions would be effective on almost everything in the game))
((Which is why they'd make a good weakness. You can only die so much after all.))
((What's the point of having a weakness when without it you would die anyway))
Which is why it's a abuse of the system to take it as a weakness and why it was disallowed.

Yeah, I pretty much expected it to be an angel. Quick question Tntey, does the [Monstrous] trait work against angels?

All new broodticks attach to Sightblinder. Increasing her fear cap by 1. The eclipse grows larger. It now covers all of DC and all of maryland. It also covers part of virginia. Sightblinders influence grows, and the eclipse brings in followers

The world screams in pain and terror. Scared followers answer it's call, joining sightblinder.

You forgot to include my use of Earth Power.

There is a crack of light, and the web is torn thousands of times. An angel appears in front of Sightblinder.
This seems too op for minor horror level of power.

Invisibility: The creature is invisible.
Hivemind: Gain a bonus when acting in a group with other members of the same hivemind. Scaling bonus depending on the size of the group.
Can we use Fear to regain Life?

So I think piratejoe set up in a fastfood chain outlet? (White castle). If so, lol.

Let me get right on some of that stuff.

The Brood Ticks that attached to you I didn't put on the list

Monstrous would work against angels

Most angels are on par with minor horrors. The only reason the power seemed too op was because of the roll of the dice.

You can't use fear to regain life. It generates on it's own.

What about my attempt at making a replicatable plant thing via the "seedbearing" trait?

I meant invisibility. Also invisibility can be incredibly useful. Also not all broodstocks are attached to you.

Sure, but I expected to be like a x7 or something. Overpriced atm. I'll be giving it a miss then.
