Jehosaphat Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Read the thread. Read everything I said. That's all I have to say on that subject. Mather, I have a larger military than you, plus a massive stockpile of ICBMs against which your missile shields are 60% effective at best... Umm, Rocco, you have a military of 0, I have an airforce worth more than you can afford and exactly $135,537,986,370 to spare. Wait, you mean all this was Hegemony crap? Take it to the Hegemony thread, then.Wouldn't want to clutter the general discussion thread with general discussion. That would just be silly.This is the off-topic thread, for all things not on-topic with any of the Tavern's normal threads - not the general discussion thread. The Hegemony arguments would, thus, go in the Hegemony thread, since the two are so closely related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had nothing to do with the Hegemony game and should therefor be transfered into the back room (where we put ALL the off topic stuff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because otherwise, we get the non-Hegemony people thinking that Mather is rich as hell and Rocco has a big-ass pile of ICBMs in his backyard.

archimage_a Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Can I just say that its not all that important...you know...Its not like the backroom is going to die because people posted about Hegemony, and it is not exactly interrupting anyone...now is it? And Mather has said he is rich on numerous occasions and Rocco has a small to mid sized armoury, so its not that suprising.... http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexaduro Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Or how about not? Y'know, you guys can all report the flaming and so-forth once it starts to get on your nerves. Rocco, Mather, that is NOT permission to play bring-in-the-mods chicken and see who can get the other in trouble first. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

The_Mather1 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm not rich, though I am in the top promille in wealth... and I always have a lot of small change in form of 1kr and 50øre coins. 1kr is slightly less worth than a quarter and 50øre is about 10 cent so they're more annoying really.

Nexaduro Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 If anyone is interested, I can try running a trial session of The Hunted. Complete with a beginner mission, as well as a bit of backstory. I'm too lazy to update the main thread right now. Here are the magics:Invoker Int/Dex: Uses handsigns and the names of spirits to summon supernatural powers.Empath Cha/Wis: Coerces inhuman powers to their cause through diplomacy and force of will.Innate Mage Wis/Con: Manipulates reality to achieve magical effects, generally weak.Forge Int/Str: Capable of shaping magic into a physical form, to achieve effects beyond conventional technology.Psion Wis/Cha: Possesses strong mental prowess, able to influence the physical world with thought. Invoker and Empath differ in that Invoked spirits are usually more powerful, less friendly, and weakened by multiple simultaneous Invocations while an Empath's associated spirits are more mundane, kindly, and rarely have their powers split between individuals. Also note that it requires at least 12 points in the relevant stats (Going by Pathfinder points buy) to use each magic, and only one can be chosen. Now, dinner, BRB. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Nexaduro Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I know, Rocco. I'm trying to be unbiased in my warnings thank-you-very-much. <_< It wasn't going to be, Retech, though if you have any suggestions I'll take 'em. Maptool is fun. ALSO, another new favourite webcomic: Romantically Apocalyptic! 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Retech Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Well, it would be nice if you could outline some more rules than the basic magic, though I wonder why we are not allowed to multi-magic?

Nexaduro Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Well, they're more like character classes. It needs some more work, not ready for a session yet after all. :P This was very helpful in thinking through the magic, and my brief overview of Invokers and Empaths uses three of the classes:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FunctionalMagic I think I'll probably change around Innate, Forge, and Psionic magics. Innate in its current form will be dropped, and become universal. Psionics and Forge Magic will be under the domain of this universal magic, which is generally weak and specific to an individual. Invoking and Empath Magic are separate for their focus on external energies, though both use the universal magic as a kickstart; for a spirit to be open to Invocation, it must be bound through ritual to serve those who call, and Empaths guide the greater force behind a spell with their own energy. Invokers are Theurgy (spells are performed by another being)/Rule Magic (commands are given through handsigns), a supernatural power is specified by name and a command is (usually) given through handsigns. The handsigns are used (rather than words or other mediums) because they are easy to conceal, quick, difficult to counter, and can be manipulated in interesting ways for stronger casters. Usually Invokers make use of some sort of brace to steady their hands in the correct position, for obvious reasons, though this limits use of that hand. Simultaneous Invokings of one entity, or a quick succession of strong invokings, can decrease the power of spells. This means that you may have to go significant lengths to find an untapped, powerful source of magic. And woe betide the individual who messes up a complicated gesture, it is not uncommon for young invokers to end up catching important things on fire. Empaths are the flip side of Invokers, and their magic is most similar to Force Magic. Instead of summoning entities to perform their spells, they perform their own magic; but spells beyond the scope of universal magic require sympathetic beings to lend their own reserves. They often serve as, essentially, a conduit for a greater power or a group of supporters. Empath magic is much more reliable than Invoking, rarely requires more than a mental direction of energy to use, and can combine any number of power sources. It also may be more difficult to gain power, as only willing subjects can lend Empaths their power and spirits may make demands of those they assist. There's much more, but it's too convoluted for me to write down before retiring to my bed. I can answer any questions tomorrow, though. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Ieyfura Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Nex, why oh why do you never have a healing/buff magical class to choose from. This bothers me. lol "Don't get in my face, don't invade my space. I'll put you in your place.I'll only tell you once, I'll never tell you twice.
