Talion's confirmed on Discord that Hint Tokens can only be used for experiments in the Discovery Phase (my bad, sorry!), so I've removed that option from the votebox.
The hero designs are gaining traction, so here are my thoughts on them:
Inscribing the Fire Steel Plates with Air Phasing, and training in harsh conditions not unlike a Volcano, she learns to manage the heat.
What you’re describing is physiologically impossible, especially considering that air phased Fire Steel reaches temperatures hot enough to melt the metal. One would also question the utility of forcing a human to operate under a continuous fatigue-inducing heat load in an already demanding warfare setting.
To help, the Stillborn Steel is inscribed with the Life/Chance/Fire Phasing, to prevent melting under the heat of Fire Steel.
This inscription makes fire phase through the object; there’s no explicit mention of it causing the object to ignore heat. Anyway, if this were true, the human wearing this would be directly exposed to the effects of the overlying Fire Steel layer, as the heat would radiate through the Sillborn Steel utterly unimpeded.
She trains her craft, forgoing weapons for armor and magic, for no weapon yet exists which can handle the heat she creates.. Weapons melt off her plates on contact, becoming too soft to penetrate.
I know that Chanters are protected against their own chants, but I suspect that she’ll be dealing with problems of her own if the temperature around her is hot enough to melt metal weapons on contact.
This inscription can prevent melting, but it requires another layer of cloth beneath it to prevent it falling through her. And it may turn off unexpectedly, leaving burns.
Again, there’s no indication that the inscription should prevent melting. Also, I don’t see why a bug should be purposefully included in the design?
Retiring to the Snowy Mountains nearby, he trains himself to be immune to cold of water and air.
This too requires superhuman physiology.
And through Meditation, he uses his chant to forgo armor for frost. A layer of unbelievably strong ice forms from water around him in the air. He is protected from it, but he eventually uses this to turn this ice into a form of enhancement, being able to dart around the battlefield and travel through his own ice structures.
I can see how he might be able to freeze himself in a shell of ice, but how on earth is he supposed to manipulate this armour? Even if he were able to synthesise an exoskeleton complete with flexible joints, the task of actually getting the sculpture to move is beyond the capabilities of "Wind of Cold".
