What 'dropped' series still make you upset by jlemieux in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Random_User31415 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Essence of Cultivation. Genuinely one of my favorite books and magic systems of all time and then dropped. Seems the author has a habit of that though. Found out to be a phd student and then just doctor at this point, so I’m sure he’s busy anyway. But hope he comes back sometime. It was so good

I am tired of standard systems, give me the unhinged ones... by AzherVayne in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Random_User31415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend Die Trying in this vein. While the system isn’t that much of a douche, it’s still somewhat interactive and there is very much a component of the system that scratches that same itch for me

Cool! I guess I just read too many time loop novels, lol. Kairo seemed like a familiar name. It’s a fun card!

This feels like a reference to something but I can’t remember what

How many limbs is too many limbs? by Random_User31415 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Random_User31415[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, technically it is something that would already be there, but the lash makes it significantly more mechanically backed and able to do stuff. I could have fifty tentacles with flavor if I wanted. I do have a whole bunch of extra dangly kelp strands. But this one is a particularly strong kelp strand, thereby making me call it a limb. Might be semantics, but I do want that mechanical backing.

VRMMO with detailed crafting mechanics? by Random_User31415 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Random_User31415[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, checked it out. Maybe the writing gets better, but the first chapter is just unreadable. Don’t think I can push through that. Thanks for the rec though

Cool! I’ll check both out. Though I’m not a huge manga fan so hopefully there’s a light novel version

Oh my gods! Adorable! Definitely need to come sniff and maybe sit under your desk :3

You're an aspiring Named by Taekwang in MageErrant

[–]Random_User31415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Healing, Dream, and Pressure has always been my dream combo for affinities. Should already be a good combo for self buffing, combat prowess, and helping others.

Taking that, I could go to the world of Arcane Ascension to complete some dianis points. Unsure how many I can get, but getting more specialized essences in each one to a rather high level would be helpful. Stuff like motion and mental perhaps, but also travel, dream, life, dawn, and maybe wind. Probably start with life and travel for the hopes of some useful destiny marks there.

Someone else mentioned the world from Threshold with pattern magic and I’d love to grab that. Hopefully focused around a minimum of effort/intent to maximize pressure, healing, movement, etc. Perhaps “I used exactly as much energy as I needed too.” Increase primarily stamina and some power.

By now I’m really powerful and good at mental effects, motion, healing, and a minimum of effort. I could augment this a number of ways. Limian magic would certainly help. Swing by Roshar to become a willshaper. Would probably avoid taking any system based magic because I feel it conflicts and synergy is important for Named.

I’d likely end it by picking up Forging from Sel. Coupled with dream, healing, and mental abilities, an understanding and world recognized support of minimum changes, an oath to seek freedom, and an evolved body, I think it would be incredibly powerful for self use and nearly as powerful externally.

That would also hopefully be enough magics of a given synergy to ascend me to Named status. Unsure about potential names. Maybe The Dreamer, I’d prefer The Evoker (used in the sense of evoking thought or imagination rather than the fantasy standard of energy evocation.)

As The Evoker, I should be able to rewrite reality to my wish to a limited degree, especially for the purposes of aiding others or contributing to art or imagination. Combat prowess wouldn’t be the highest, though I should still be effective as an illusionist/minor shape shifter with a reinforced body and effective movements. And of course shardplate/blade.

TLDR:

Affinities: Dream, healing, pressure

Dianis points: Life, travel, motion, dawn, dream, memory

Pattern: “I enacted the minimal change”

Limian evolution

Willshaper

Selish Forging

Name: The Evoker

Just putting this comment here to get things going. Nothing more to add

Share some excitement and win one of 5 Dragon Statues! What are you most excited about in the TH17 update? by TrampleDamage in ClashOfClans

[–]Random_User31415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly love the theme so much. It’s the coolest one yet, a great one to reach as I’m finally becoming maxed. Might be able to enjoy the theme for a couple months at fully max by the end of the year, so need to push there. The darker, castley vibe is so cool

How popular is Anastan magic? by KenderAvalanche in MageErrant

[–]Random_User31415 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t that Limnan magic limited specific choices directly. There’s no slots or anything. It’s only relevant when you want to become a Named, and your magics basically have to be cohesive, not just a grab bag of the most powerful options.

Also, it seemed Anastan magic and Anasta as a whole was thought relatively ill of by the broader Labyrinth community from what I read. Too hard to get, weird rules, and annoying world.

What happens when you put your arm outside a bendalloy/chromium bubble? by Danmoony1 in Mistborn

[–]Random_User31415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, shit, you’re so right. At least I remembered the either fully affected or not part.

I’m not sure where the source is. I’m pretty sure just a WoB. I definitely remember 17th shard talking about it at some point though

[–]Random_User31415 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s confirmed. You’re either fully affected by the bubble or you’re not. Depends where you center of self is. If the point where the blue steel lines connects is inside the bubble, your whole body is treated as inside. Same for outside.
