[quote=booksmusicanime] Well the pit had to be big enough to fit Ris when I put her on a new board (unless she got knocked off of it again) and then the pit had to be big enough to fit her and Charlie and he may've been wrapped around her but think of it as Cilia's obsidian case. Its basically a second skin and she was already planing on using that before that even happened. Also she did get hurt. She only had a few seconds to put up the skin so it burnt a part of her shirt and pants and her skin so she didn't escape uninjured but I had initially wanted ONLY Ris in the hole so she could patch the wound in her side so she wasn't bleeding as bad since both healers are in different battles. I'm not trying to GM Ris but I now realized from you pointing it out that it is kinda like I'm GMing Ris just a bit. I really need to get a second magic for Ris though because she seems more vulnerable with just her Dragon Slayer magic which if you haven't noticed she doesn't use much. [/quote] Alright, well you didn't post about getting hurt so I didn't know that. The post came off as her coming out of that hole completely unscathed. As for planning ahead, It makes the story sound cooler if you post those things. Write down your characters plans and it doesn't seem broken. It also sounds cooler when characters in combat brace themselves for attacks, try and guess opponents tactics and powers, prepare to react with shields, etc. Oh and the hit in her side with the pole was just a painful jab to knock the wind out of her. On a normal person it would make a nasty bruise the next day. Nothing compared to the explosion. I didn't mean for that to be a heavy wound. As for the extra magic, I'd suggest sticking to just dragon slayer magic for now. I thought you were holding back all this time really. It's one of those powers that can be insanely powerful if you use it creatively enough. I'd at least suggest eating some dirt ;) [i]"Now that I've eaten I'm all revved up!"[/i]
