HAHA! My buffing worked perfectly! Though I sort of assumed it'd use necromancy, but whatever works!

Attempt to enslave the immobilized demon. At least one of necromancy or metamagic should work for that, right?

Wussed out! Change of plans!

KILL THE DEMON THAT IRONYOWL IS NOT ATTACKING BROSKI

[Nirur Torir]

I propose a new turn type: Travel turns. During travel turns, we'd be able to do slightly larger tasks, and without the chance of a critical success or failure (More time to concentrate, without having to worry about that rather hungry looking monster). This would make it easier for healers to provide their critical services between battles, lowering our mortality rate, let people create new spells in relative safety and without slowing the game down, or trade magical knowledge with each other.

[IronyOwl]

I suspect RNG would consider creating new spells in relative safety a bad thing.

I do want to harvest these demons and then do stuff with the parts though, so I can't complain with the concept. On a related note, do we really need the portal closed before anything's even come through it?

[Nirur Torir]

I think I can summon most small, inanimate objects just fine, if you need something in particular. Otherwise: Yes, yes the portal must be closed before it spawns more xp for us.

[kilakan]

well I'm attempting to make a void-portal crystal from the portal itself, thus closing it, this should be fun.

Enslave as in control, correct?

[Dermonster]

Sublimate the hunter. Unless that's a passive effect, in which case, Cleave!

[IronyOwl]

Correct.

That could be convenient. I could also try it myself, penalties be damned, but I'm looking for more exotic components for the bulk of what I'm plotting.

So: , but I might want you to summon me some iron or something.

Also RNG: Since demons are souls, how do various schools of magic work with regards to attempting to affect their bodies, and does this change with whether they're "alive" or dead?

EDIT: Also, about how large are the hunters? Is the assassin the same size?

Hmm... seems interesting. Not sure if I want to allow people to practice skills, but reading books or devising new spells could work.

Correct.

Demons don't have souls, they ARE souls. Twisted, dark corrupted souls taken on a physical manifestation, but souls nonetheless.

Using necromancy on demon souls is possible, but may have some rather... interesting side-effects.
Demons are not alive. Vitamancy does not work on them.
The demons stand about 5 feet tall, when crouched. Fully extended, about 8 11 feet. Assassin is the same size as the hunters.

I'd tell you not to do it, but I want to see what happens. Do note that Lifetapping them has similar results to Lifetapping undead, and that Shadowtouch (Or was it weakness?) doesn't do much against them.

What, attempt to keep one as a pet? If Control Undead works, Shackle Mind or Control Demon can't be that far out, though I admit the consequences for failure could be... a bit more severe than normal. I guess that makes an immobilized cripple a particularly good target.

If you're worried about making things from their bodies... well, I'm worried about that too, but I also figure items made from demon parts would be more powerful than those made from mundane materials, at least for what I'm going for. I originally intended to make a shield out of some carapace, but am reconsidering seeing as it likely won't be any better than a mundane one and I'd need to summon some leather for the straps. My other two schemes are still very go.

On that note, does slaying demons destroy their soul, release it, or neither? If I wanted to make a wraith from a demon soul, for instance (FUN! I know) would I target a live demon or a dead one?

[RandomNumberGenerator]

I am not authorized to release information pertaining to that subject.

In other words, try it and find out.

[IronyOwl]

Damn! Oh well, this will work out on 2 out of 3 options.

EDIT: I am now contemplating the consequences of "Keep one alive in case a dead one won't suffice!" I'm not going to, but I'm acting quite the necromancer already.

[IronyOwl]

Heh, finally got around to reading Arcanum Octet I. I've now got even more ideas than before...

Also I want to learn Life magic but it scares me.
