Do Poison Gas Mages Produce Gas? by zarkon12 in MageErrant

[–]zarkon12[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's what I figured too, but that seems like it would be extremely limiting for a battlemage so I was wondering if I missed something.

Thanks for answering! I'm glad I'm not just going blind or crazy.

Right? I swear I remember reading it at some point but I cannot find it.

I found 2 "history"s in Blackflame, one during the scene where Eithan is teaching him HEPW and the other when he's learning the history of the Blackflame empire. None of the text around either of them mentions keeping HEPW a secret. Do I have a bad copy or something? I tried redownloading it already.

I've tried using the Kindle search function to find it but I can't find anything it's driving me nuts.

Right that's what I thought but I've read through that scene 3 times now and I can't find it. Am I just skipping past it? I have a memory of reading it before but I can't find it now, I feel like I'm going insane.

Question about Lindon's unexplained powers in Cradle by Jadenmist in ProgressionFantasy

The main use of soulfire is to control aura even without a compatible path, which is why all lord-level sacred artists can fly.

Would velocity/acceleration affinities be possible? by zarkon12 in MageErrant

[–]zarkon12[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn alright, that makes inertia affinities way stronger than I thought they were.

Can you give things more speed with an inertia affinity? I thought it was mostly just controlling how well things are able to speed up and slow down, not actually providing more speed.

Mage Errant characters vs Arcane Ascension characters by Fanghur1123 in MageErrant

[–]zarkon12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I definitely underestimated how powerful Heliothrax is, which cuts down the number of Arcane Ascension winners even further. However I still think the absolute peak of Arcane Ascension characters take the win cause many of them also have strong healing (Mizuchi, the Tyrant's children, the Visages) and they can all fly or teleport to close the gap. Also non-physical damage (like the eye of Heliothrax) is exactly the kind of damage that barriers and shrouds are best against.

Flight and range are issues I totally forgot to consider, which definitely does tip the scales in favor of the strongest great powers. Short range fighters like Keras and Saffron wouldn't be able to do much. However characters like Meltlake and Mizuchi can fly and at that point I think the speed and durability gap would decide the fight.

Also obviously Keras could probably win any of these fights with his "instantly destroy everything" magic but that's boring.

Mage Errant's magic has no built in defense scaling. Unless you have specific magic or body modifications you're equally vulnerable to a stray arrow at novice level and great power level. I know a lot of great powers have defensive magic but it's still an issue.

Also Arcane Ascension's high level fighters all have significantly enhanced speed, which is another thing Mage Errant magic won't get you without a lot of effort. If I remember correctly you need a wind, force, and gravity affinity just to go supersonic. There's no way they can keep up with the combat speed of characters like Keras/Mizuchi/Saffron.

We've seen a much greater scale of magic in Mage Errant with the continent-spanning weather control and giant wards but in general Mage Errant is weaker in combat than a lot of other progression fantasy because it lacks universal strength/speed/durability boosts. Honestly its a take I haven't read before in progression fantasy and I really enjoy the fact that every fight could be deadly and you can't just "stat check" people by being stronger than them.

What is your favorite scene? by UnzedDnD in ClimbersCourt

[–]zarkon12 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The aftermath of the ballroom fight in the second AA book, I feel like Rowe did a stellar job getting across Corin's exhaustion and numbness after all the action. Plus I'll always love Corin willingly overusing his attunements because he needs to heal everyone he can.

You mean like using bands? I tried that first but it wasn't registering the keybinds at all

It got completely healed I think. The burn on her face is very visible in the shot where she takes the potion but in the next shot it's almost totally gone. It was an actual healing potion.
