See this is where I don't like the idea that 'specific rules' overpower fundamental reality. That barrier shouldn't just be 'overpowered' because someone held their urine in for an extra couple seconds, so that the delayed effect is a more powerful blast of piss. Human excrete is vastly inferior to my amazing and beautifully invisible spacial barrier, regardless of how [i]prepped [/i]they were with their willies, and how truly horrible my analogies and metaphors are.

Ultimately I'm still not convinced how preps aren't relative to time; if there was a 1-prep per turn rule, then it is - hands down - only a byproduct of time and energy. Again the word preparation really explains everything.

We're talking in absolutes in terms of the rules, when that just doesn't work, and I've even been told that those who used T1E weren't as anal about enforcing every single rule across tiers, or in the face of loopholes. Boosting a character's action speed should indeed increase how quickly they're able to charge a powerful attack. Time is time, perhaps a figment of human imagination, but we're convinced it's real, and keep track of it thusly.

Oh hey there, [@Starfall]. Welcome to the debate! Would you like to pick a side? Perhaps I can offer you some popcorn. Hopefully you like crude humor, because I implement a lot of it in my rants. My apologies for the horrible setback on my post for our fight... I've become so immersed in this battle of spell, wit, and passive aggression, that it's captured all of the brain cells I have left from years of rum guzzling piracy.
