New Game of Death: Battle Royale of the GAWDS

[Saepiroth]

meh, it's spell impervious; presumably that applies to Psionics, too. i just didn't feel like being set on fire or having another slew of constructions appear around me. and if he succeded at his roll, it would have flung him forwards; i intentionally threw it behind him. if he succeded and then "succeded" again without moving, he would've been thrown into the blades.

besides he can't blast me until he spends 5-11 PP and an action on a teleport type manifestation. anything that forces him to lose PP is A-OK in my book.

Victim, I really like the way you think...

Oh, and Saephiroth - I'm more with Victim. And don't worry about me losing PP - I don't think I could run out, even if I keep up at this rate, and we go for another six or seven rounds.

He can just create an even bigger army while inside the sphere. His constructs that are outside the sphere right now will continue to attack. By the time the force bubble dissipates, Ancrys will be at full HP because he has fast healing, and will have a bunch more contructs ready to roll - and since he doesn't need to worry about creating a whole bunch at once, he may be able to create them more efficiently (Twin power might still be more efficient, if that's what he's using). Meanwhile, other characters will be expending much of their resources fighting each other. More haste potions will have to be used, Dust of Disappearence will run out, etc.

The point is, he's not going to blast you. Most of his constructs are still free to act, so his offense is largely intact. In any case, I can't see blasting as a viable primary attack strategy. Considering the large number of opponents and the presumeably good HP and saves of most characters, not to mention magical defenses, I think a blaster would run out of steam too quickly.

But heck, even if the bubble completely shuts down someone's offense for a couple minutes, that's a couple minutes to heal, finish buffing, etc.

 

[Saepiroth]

ah, well. in all truth, it was an accident; me and Jinx sent our moves at the same time.

i guess 24 hours each turn is the way it'll be for the timebeing...

please don't take this as capping on clockwork - but I sent Therron's actions about 3 this morning.
I just want others to know that (as far as I'm aware) we're not waiting for my action.
just want that clarified, and that I won't be able to check posts until tomorrow night.

I wonder how a psychic warrior would do in this game? If I was playing, I'd play one with a high strength, use Polymorph Self to turn into a Stone Giant, use a Spiked Chain (20 feet reach) and Standstill to stop melee characters. I would also use Power Stones and Use Psionic Device to manifest neat Psion powers as well. I could use Reach to make it 25' Reach, Animal Affinity to boost all my stats, a bunch of miscellaneous protection buffs, etc.

Or how about a cleric archer who uses an enlarged Anti-Life Shell to protect herself?

Connection down? Game night? Hot date? What could be so important to postpone the game of the century?

i do have a social life, geez.

He's lying. I sent my Ninja infiltrators to sneak into his house and copy the character sheets for all the other characters in the game and add some nifty items to my character. Based on the fact that none of them have reported back, I assume he spent all night fighting them off and hiding the bodies.
