I'll packmule for you and hold the heavier one.

Thanks. Hopefully once I get some minions, at least one will be able to carry stuff.

Yeah, duh. With the windy thing.

You've tried to fire a boltless crossbow before, I don't think it was strange to ask.

:/

Hmm, you've got Earth magic right Tolyk? Mind making some sort of inverted bowl made out of rock? Preferably relatively light yet solid.

Make an light, yet solid, inverted bowl out of rock.
You owe me one. 

[Darvi]

Use my wind magic to turn that thing into a hovercraft.

[TolyK]

lol
this will be fun
(oh, and I can fly anyways  )

I'll shield it later too.

Badump-dump-BUMP off the second page for a turn.

[Tarran]

I noticed the game being on second page and started the turn. Have patience, it should be done... relatively quickly unless I find something addicting to do.

Anyone mentions Minecraft and I'll kill them.


...crap.

[Darvi]

Ssss*boom*

Don't play minecraft. Heck, I barely play anything awesome these days. I always worry I'll get bored and think of the stuff as a waste of money.

Anyway, serious magic balancing coming up. This includes many weakenings of enchantments, to limit your ability to overpower yourself. Because, with the way the rules are set up, you can easily overpower yourself.

Spoiler: Updated enchantment and shield rules at the time of writing. (click to show/hide)

I just realized: The current way shields work makes no sense. Why would you have to maintain a shield if enchanted items with shields do not need to be maintained?

I'm now going to balance it, it'll work this way:

Shields can be either Maintained or Placed. Player specifying. Which have the following differences:
Maintained shields have HP regen if they have specified HP. If they don't, the user just outright maintains the shield. Maintained shields of course require the user's direct attention.
Placed shields don't regen. They fall after taking so-and-so damage/succeeding oh so many times. Placed shields don't require a user's direct attention, but to prevent the user from placing shields extremely often, you cannot place shields until after 5 turns after the last one was placed.
Enchanted items use placed shields, which can be recharged. This, of course, means TolyK's enchanted armor is less useful now, but it was overpowered anyway. I mean, how can you argue against?

And as a further change, all magic enchanted items now have charges. Since, seriously, I just know you guys are going to super-enchant everything you get your hands on. Don't even try to deny it.

However, to make magic-generated items more worthwhile, items generated magical have no charge for their magic enchantments. So that +5 Longsword of Awesomeness is as useful as it starts generated as for the entire game.

Also, I am now limiting enchantments to one per total-item. Meaning if you put together pieces of a sword which have an enchantment each, you will have to specify which one to keep. This is because not only would it have been annoying to keep track of individually enchanted pieces, but because it would've been too powerful.

You should really include some method of making our own permanent items, even if it's far from the norm. Maybe have them require special reagents?

Aw. Also, I still like the idea of being able to spend multiple turns to get a better effect, or at least the chance of a better effect, like encrusting items in DF and hoping the quality turns out right.

[TolyK]

I will always, always try to break rules 

well, ok. just a note that my armor reflects the magic back (I agree that that is OP), perhaps they absorb part and reflect part of the damage? otherwise, that's fine.

No buts. I don't want to have to deal with SUPER POWERFUL players likely early in the game.

I am: You'll sometimes find scrolls that will add permanent enchantments. I'll make sure to have them be rare, though.

But think of it this way: How annoying would it be for me to have to track all the stuff on the blade? How overpowered would items be if you can just go from slicing with flame to freezing with ice in one turn? What would the penalty be for failing? I know I'm going back on my word, but I just don't feel like dealing with this stuff.

Of course, if you find something wrong with what I'm doing, you could always start your own RTD...

...which I'm still waiting on.

I will always, always try to break rules 

And I will always, always make sure you take the largest penalties possible for trying.

They'll have a certain number of spells they can reflect. Like, say, your shield would have a max of 6 spells it can reflect before losing it's enchantment.

Anyway, turn's done, updating statuses.

[Darvi]

BUT.

Heheh.
