Zippit!


'Throwing Together Skills' is why the GM enjoys running this game. You really want to take the exciting part out of it for him?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

I asked him if he had any thoughts on the matter. He did, and I keep procrastinating modifying my post.

"Proper" Ice level scale:

1: Iceball. Basically a solid snowball

2: Icespike. Shoots a spike of ice up from the ground.

3: Icespikes. Shoots many spikes up from the ground.

4: Freezeblast. Creates a beam of concentrated coldness.

5: Ice Golem. Summons a golem of ice to do your bidding for as long as you can hold the spell.
 
6: ? ? ? I need help with this one, Akylon.

7: Frost Nova. Shoots a giant cold wave. Makes an entire town too cold for even a Cryomancer.

8: Time Freeze. Stops time. Needs much mental discipline to maintain for long.

9: ICE-9. Ends universe.

I'll improve it in the morning.

God-psionics: The theoretical level 10 spell: Ultima.

For now though: throw a crystal, a reactive, and a mutagen at a cat.

Inventory! Now with diplomancy and the return of Status! If you need any of the inventions or discovery recipes, they'll be in the first/second post shortly.
Spoiler: Inventory! (click to show/hide)

Bread: Frost Nova has no hyphen. for 6, i don't really know. what is there to fit between a summon and an ice nuke?

I think 5 and 6 should just be area-of-effect spells. Small-house-sized and city-block-sized sounds about right.

Ideas for ice-6 uh... How about having ice-6 be a permanent summon? We'd start with an ice egg that slowly hatches and grows into an ice dragon we can ride on as we improve our cryomancy, or something. If that's rejected then just make it the big absolute zero thing I mentioned before.

Please make my name lowercase. Fix'd and I have no clue, which is why I asked.

We already have an area attack. :-\

What "big absolute zero thing"? A perma summon is out of the question for a normal spell. We might be able to make one, but a standard perma summon could let us amass an army too easy.

I meant it as more of a "you can only do this once, choose which magic type you want it to be carefully" type of thing.
Earlier when we didn't have any ice-6 to drop on the elf village I suggested a powered down ice nuke describing it as a "big absolute zero being dropped on the ground."

6: Ye Olde tablet with details on Ice-6 lost to a volcanic eruption.

7: Frost Nova. Shoots a giant cold wave. Makes an entire town too cold for even a Cryomancer.

8: Time Freeze. Stops time. Needs much mental discipline to maintain for long.

9: ICE-9. Ends universe.
How about that? it fills in the awkward spot.

Hmm. Lilli, that's called a scroll. Aklyon, it seemed to me that they are the intuitive level of ice magic. If you were to cast Ice-1, you'd get Iceball. This was just giving certain guildlines. It could be a gag that Ice-6 is indescribable, but hmm...

Yeah, how about Aklyon tell us how He wants the game to play, and we stop trying to ruin his buzz?

Am I the only one with this viewpoint?

I have that idea as well, but he asked for suggestions, so I randomly threw one out. I don't mind if he doesn't want to use one or two(or most) of my ideas. I just want to see the game move a bit more, and not argue as much.

On topic: metamance large-ish hole in ground. Gather copious amounts of squirrels. Create Death Squirrel Alpha. Wait for ninja cat Alpha to return.

We can't make Mega-Squirrel or Death Squirrel unless we get our pot out here, we aren't advanced enough to use any ol hole as alchemy equiment. the hole is to make it slip and fall over so the blood stops covering all of the squirrel-matter and covers the ground instead
