Yay!

[Mardent23]

Yeah, I kind of went overboard, and created a bunch of charts and tables.

[endlessblaze]

Seriously?
Wow. Will we see that in the turn, or is it secret gm calculation stuff.

[Mardent23]

Mostly GM stuff, but I'll try and get a list of possible "minion" commands ( would probably count as a zilch action)  up for the OOC thread.

[endlessblaze]

forming a list of commands seems pointless.
If they can follow orders, you can try to order them into doing anything.

[Mardent23]

Fair point. Any  other  feedback?

[endlessblaze]

Not at the moment.

I think having a set of minion commands as a sort of framework would be nice. Laying out the basic commands, then with longer, more complex commands they would require more focus or something else along those lines.

[endlessblaze]

But then you would have to quantify focus, and calculate it, and things would just get more and more complicated.

setting up a framework of commands is pointless at best, and overly restricting at worst.
If I tell a minion to go buy groceries, they can go buy groceries.
If I tell a minion to kill someone, they can give it there best shot.
If i tell a minion to spread there wings, take flight, do a barrel roll while holding lit sparklers before smashing to the ground in a triple point landing creating a shockwave so they can stand up intemaditeingly. They should at least be able to attempt it.


Trying to cram such commands into a framework only creates more work for the gm for little to know benefit.

[Mardent23]

 Given, you'd first have to get minions, and I doubt  that the resulting police investigation would be beneficial, but I would love to see what a 20 would look like on the last action. Oh, the possibilities...

[endlessblaze]

im sure it would be halrious.

Edit:

Hey, so how do you guys plan to go about getting more full acts? If you plan to do so at all?

Personally I'm thinking of ethre drawing from a place of power, or from drawing energy from trees and plants, over such a spread out and dilute area, that the trees suffer no damage (groves and forest  shriveling up with no explanation draws to much attention.)

Ritual sacrifice is right out for my character, but the thought did cross my mind.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Me personnaly.

Expect some glowing. Some eye litterally flickering to life and consuming the symbol red lightning like aura surronding her. Its gonna be visible most likely.

[endlessblaze]

Sounds dramatic.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

She is basically a talk show host and a minor celebrity. She's not subtle. She's more likely to show this all of brazenly to be honest.

[endlessblaze]

Why do I feel like she's going to be the first to die?
Oh right.

Showing off your newfound power before getting personal infrastructure and protections up, sounds like a badddddd idea.

And considering her backstory, I doubt she's going to be the type to foster lots of good will towards herself with her powers.
