Regardless, you would need to find an artifact, if not several, just to have an item capable of holding enough EP for such a weapon. Also, how would you come close to completing said device without every player being out for your blood? Both of these aside, you'd still require 20/20 Enchanting to even have a chance of pulling it off, not to mention great amounts of EP.

Still, if it is just a large scale offensive device rather than a bona fide Doomsday Weapon (Tactical Nuke+), the whole ordeal becomes all the more feasible.

I'm pretty sure this is a case where meta-gaming player hunting would be allowed by the GM, TK. You control the character who is arguably the worst of them all, and you haven't seen combat since you started. Stop trying to abuse your way to early glory, we're not going to put up with it.

Hurray! I have been ignored,despite being a goblin necromancer!

[Azthor]

Question: as there seem to be no casting penalties for wearing heavy armor, is it safe to assume thatl lighter armor types always have a greater EP limit than their heavier counterparts?

On a side note, at least in the beginning, the less focused a character the weaker he is, well thought synergies somewhat notwithstanding (ie. a tank investing in protective magic or a rogue with a buff which improves his daggers' armor penetration).

How the fuck is making plans for having to search for and create a variety of artifacts "abusing my way to glory"? I'm still going to have to earn.

Go back to sitting in your corner with your extreme magic tattoos, please. I am actually trying to gain my power through play, instead of attempting to sneak shit in through my character description.

[Lillipad]

You're broadcasting your desires to create doomsday weapons and splice animals into ultra-powerful nightmare fuel things. And the tattoos don't do or mean anything, they're purely aesthetic. When has it ever been stated otherwise? The sad part about this argument is that it's still not the worst I've been in over a forum game.
Let's end it now. You say I suck, I say you suck, let's both be generally disgruntled human beings together.

[thatkid]

Yes, I am discussing my plans.

Once again: I fail to see how this is "abusing" my way to glory.

[Lillipad]

It's mostly just an issue of taste. Unless it's a goal of the game itself, I usually won't approve of genocide, wars, or world destruction. But since you're talking about wanting to do it so soon into the game, it comes off, to me, as an attempted abuse of game mechanics.
Again, let's not continue to argue. We're both disgruntled with each other, so why not be disgruntled together?

Have a look at a real Doomsday Plot Device, Atropus:

Melritch does not support such things. Sure, he could use the buffs all undead get when that things comes near a planet, but really, what kind of pleasure can be extracted out of a dead world?

I don't think he either plans or it is possible for him to do it early in the game.  There's no harm in him making plans for early, since he probably needs to if he's going to have any chance whatsoever, which chances are he really doesn't have one unless he gets ridiculously lucky.

I personally don't have a problem with him trying to pull off a doomsday device as it's most likely going to fail anyway.


Unless it involves owlbears.

Then he's going down.

It is alive! Well... More or less, but it will have to do (...)

My distaste for the stuff came from a forum game where a player started posting these long-winded IC threats, then called them OOC when myself and someone else said we'd go after his character if he didn't knock it off. It didn't help that the GM wasn't stepping in when he started giving the "OOC" threats.
Anyway, I'd at least like to be given the dignity of having the world's downfall be made a secret if you're going to try and do it.

[Azthor]

Hmm, who is the most powerful character at the present?

[SeriousConcentrate]

Probably you or Lillipad, you're the only people who are Level 2 iirc.

Not only am I not threatening other players, but nearly all of my posts legitimately regarding this plan have been OOC.

But that's fine, sure. I was dropped into a forest tower, with no conflict in sight and thus no goals. I guess I'll just remain that way, and my character will atrophy as he sits there doing nothing, because, in your opinion, it's in bad taste to query the GM about or otherwise discuss potential goals.
That's fine.
