Keeper of Kraata Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Well yes. But Casanuva isn't going to be sniping with it anytime soon. Also, the firing process is a bit more complicated; once a ball has been loaded into the chamber, the blade is magnetized; how fast depends on how powerful the shot is. Quickly means he has the rifle from Metro 2033's power on the lower charges; slowly, with appropriate background music and shonen speeches/screaming produces something like the Tau railgun. Once the blade is properly magnetized, it is aimed carefully, then Casanuva uses is magnetic elemental power to manipulate the magnetic fields to actually fire the projectile. Then there's the sonic boom, and fire coming out of all the holes in the blade, and the Orange-hot protosteel blade. Edited December 30, 2014 by Keeper of Kraata The times, they are a-changing...

Back when I made it, I thought he looked more like Nidhiki with a Skakdi head attached, because I either read his Profile wrong or it wasn't too clear on his actual size. Sorry.

Staying true to her character, she has little to no interest in the heathen death cultists, and as such, I haven't really been paying any attention to them. As for Zenithex... come at me, bro.

Timageness Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 While Dayeth would be the most suitable character of yours to combat due to his resistances to her new hand, she is unfortunately protected under Article A, Subsection C of the current alliance between Legacy and The Brotherhood of Ak'rei'an, so Zenithex couldn't touch her even if he wanted to.The rest of your characters, however, have no such protection, and are thus fair game (unless the Toa Shaydas have also made a similar alliance with Legacy, in which case they have immunity as well).Expect him when you would least expect him.

Let's Henshin! Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 B-b-but Newton's 3rd Law. When a sword impacts it slightly bends before righting itself, over time if care is not taken the blade chips. Good swords are designed to spread out this impact by balancing their hardness and ductility. However that's because the normal blade doesn't have a hollow/open center, an open center would make it far easier for the edge to travel and would thus block your track... And I'm discussing physics in the BZPRPG.... Sigh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25K Now! Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Praise the magic boat. But seriously, physics actually applies in this game. Yes, there are some things that are blatantly impossible according to the laws of our universe (heeelllooo elemental powers), but otherwise, it will still factor. We try to stay a lot more grounded here. Mostly because of Gravity.

Nato G Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm aware that some laws of physics do still apply to the magical world of the BZPRPG.

Nato G Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) i'm not missing any point. He's arguing that it's going to be a terrible sword for physics reasons. Since these guys have spent several days/weeks in-game making said weapon, and it's creation was Nuju ApprovedTM, it's pretty safe to assume that the ordinary laws of physics that would cause the sword to warp, or break or explode do not apply in this situation. Thus the argument is rendered moot.
