Just to be clear, Khan, you're not arguing that magic is better than tech because most high-end tech doesn't exist in the real world, are you?


It basically means T1 benefits powers/high-tech over most modern technology.
Snarnorgul had set his mind into the proper state of awareness in the hopes of locating his prey. He had expected an attack of course; still he never divined the coming blow over the other smells of burning ash and soot. A sharp burning pain shot up his leg as something pierced his hairy hide. The smell of burnt fur soon assaulted his senses amid the smoke swirling around him. The object, which Snarnorgul discerned felt like a mix between a hot piece of steel caught between flowing water, that had struck into his leg seemed to have partially pierced his tibia bone. Luckily a spear was a terrible weapon to cut tendons, especially for a creature his size and autonomy.

Snarnorgul roared in protest all the same though as his weight buckled to his right. Ironically however, the same weapon that had so wounded him had also cauterized the puncture site. The process of course was extremely painful, but to a creature such as him which was already highly resistant to fire and lightening, he turned that searing pain toward focus. Obviously the humanoid he sought must have attacked him. The audacity of this creature! Yet, more importantly they had erred, for now they were easily within his considerable reach and range.

Focusing his acute hearing he made out the sound of breathing and the faint sound of heat beat. Snarnorgul other senses, far sharper than his poor eyesight, easily made up for the lack of visibility. He raised his massive upper right arm, the one that held one of his two pincers, far to the right and behind him. He a growl he swept it in a wide arch before him with enough strength to shatter steel, stone, bone, like frail glass. The sweep would have the added benefit of clearing a great degree of smoke and debris as well. With an easy 10 feet reach he was confident he would hit something, as the average spear was only 6 feet long. Even so he was already inhaling so that his chest puffed out.
One also shouldn't forget Diēscogitō is not without means of defending himself. If others were to bye time, we could easily drew the thing into a trap which could immobilize it.

Guess what rune he would use to do that.
You folk seem to like never stating how far you are and such.
Where the heck is Biddz?

Hell, i'm still around. I just assumed everyone had died off when everything quietened down. Who is still around, we have a lot of accepted but not that many who seem to be active. We must consolidate.


I think it's because ppl don't know what to do, same thing happens in NRP's, there's no story ppl can respond to or follow so it kind of all dies.

Not many people are have enough incentive to create their one story lines on their own.

Technology is in no way inferior to magic, nor vica versa. They both have their pro´s and cons. Technology can be prepped just as much as magic can, and in most cases come out superior in that field, as it often becomes the item itself charging, and not the wielder (allowing the wielder to do other moves unhindered), of course, this can be done with magical artifacts as well.Vordak has a great point on the weight issue.


You guys of course are talking about sci-fi theoretical technology.

Name any magic spell and I can come up with a piece of technology that would equal the same power without the added physical exhaustion.


So you agree you have to make up some sci-fi tech in order to compensate.

Uh, can't charge tech? Never heard of missile lock?


Of course I know what it is, and?
Vordak said
noooooooooooTech may be harder to explain, and thus, have its power justified, but it is no way inferior to magic.


Mostly because you can't charge/prep them.

Outside of T1 tech would kill almost everything.
