@Genni

That's quite a few powers you have there. It may take a while to level up enough to afford them all. :)

...and here I was thinking you were joking about stripping in front of her...

The Echo Game! Something Different! Always Recruiting! Exclamation Marks!

"I hate to say this, but I would like you to warn or perhaps intimidate Macheel and find a way to convince him that the goblins are dangerous. In return, I will grant you a reward."

@SpookySquid

For a moment Chuck simply stood there, his chin resting on his hand as he considered what he already knew of the country and other details he'd managed to pick up during the conversations he'd had since the Game began. Finally he looked back over at Mateel with a smile.

"From what I can see there are four possible approaches which could be made to the problem, each with their own setbacks and difficulties to overcome, and each with a differing chance of success." As he spoke Chuck waved his hands either side of his body, imitating a set of weighing scales as he indicated the pros and cons of the situation.

"The first, and most obvious, is also the most stupid. This would be to mount an attack on your brother, framing the goblins and making it seem as though they were capable of placing him in personal danger. The biggest setbacks for such a plan would be finding adequate scapegoats, preferably goblins with known ties to... political enemies. We'd need to provide the goblins with enough credible intelligence, and possibly even supplies to make them believe their plan would succeed, while at the same time leaving a hole which your own forces could use to prevent such an outcome.

"The problems would be firstly that the intelligence would have to be genuine, or as close to genuine to be verifiable, and that may leave a trail back to you, especially so if supplies were also required. Secondly, the goblins would most likely need to be eliminated once the attack occurred, should any of them survive the event. This would raise a great many questions, especially if any of the goblins be captured by your brother's people before your own could get to them. Thirdly, the goblins may actually succeed, leading to a general revolt amongst their kind which would make your own position extremely volatile.

"As I said, a stupid plan." Chuck concluded with a smile.

"The second plan would be to simply talk to your brother about the dangers, raising his own awareness of the problem and allowing him to reach the proper conclusion himself." Holding both hands up in front of him Chuck bowed his head respectfully, "I only mention this for the sake of completeness in my assessment however, as I am sure one as wise as yourself would already have taken such steps, making any repetition a pointless waste of both time and resources.

"While it may be possible to falsify reports which would exaggerate the dangers, such an act would require too many accomplices to be feasible, relying on others to maintain your lies for you and placing yourself in danger of being discovered in your falsehoods. An unwise choice." Shaking his head Chuck placed his hands together as if at prayer, being at once respectful to Mateel while at the same time impressing subconsciously on the man the sanctity of Chuck's words.

"A third choice would be to try and provoke the goblins into acting in a way which would expose their hostility to your brother, forcing him to reconsider his opinions on the matter and bringing him more in-line with your own point of view." Chuck smiled as he said this, tilting his head forwards, not quite bowing but at the same time moving his head as if to nod, impressing a positive mindset onto his words, to help steer Mateel's decision in its favour. "This plan would be most successful if you could engender a rift between the goblins themselves, encouraging them to fight amongst themselves. Not only would this alarm the civilian population, but it would also weaken the goblins own organisation, making it easier to act against them when the time came to do so."

Chuck smiled to himself as he watched Mateel's reactions change, moved by the tide of his words as he wished the man to be. This may be easier than I'd thought, the Detattler hoped. "Finally, you could prove the goblins were being supplier by forces outside your own nation, which would also raise the stakes of the situation, forcing your brother's hand in the matter. I understand Zimbabwe, Angola, and Madagascar have all voiced their opinions against the current state of affairs, and while I have heard my own country's reports on the matter, it would be useful if you could tell me about your own opinions on those countries, so I may give a fully informed opinion on which would best serve our purposes?"

@SpookySquid Country cards, please?

Also as for loot and stuff, Freddy might get new armor and stuff, but since his axe, named Dragonslayer, is all he has left of the Dogs of Fereldan, he ain't ever gonna replace it unless it breaks.

@Adorabadass

Might be able to find some pretty enchantment baubles to hang from his mighty weapon and help him out in battle though.

By the way, am I the only one reading Fredrick with a Scottish accent?

@Behemoth542

I was thinking of making combo attack traits for Bumblebee, something like:

Supersonic: The turn after Bumblebee used Up, Up and Away her defense is doubled for that turn only.
Boom: The turn after Bumblebee triggers Supersonic she automatically scores a hit on all enemies equal to her base Defense value.

How would that fly with you? :)

BattleCorp™: Combatant Creator

Post your guys in the character thread.

@Behemoth542

Done

Anyway, when me and Babbysama finish kinking out his character sheet, I'll start the game.

@Behemoth542

@Babbysama Will your ability just be a heal for yourself, or something that will work for allies as well, like Nightingale's Combat Triage?

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

Is there a difference? Couldn't see any here. They zoomed equally far in from here.

@Ellri

When I click the link on my end it takes me to a thumbnail 200x200 in size. The second one goes to the full sized image. I'm using Chrome if that makes any difference.

World doesn't revolve around you and the IRC. :p

@Fallenreaper

No, it revolves around @Ellri, since he's the GM.

EDIT: Okay, done. And with that said, I should ask: will it be possible to increase either energy capacity or energy regeneration through stat points? That'd add a couple new dimensions to stat allocation.

@BCTheEntity

It says in the thread header no to that:

Both the maximum Energy and its regeneration can be modified by traits, but not by StP

@Behemoth542

You'd have to use a 'Trait' perk to alter your Energy, but can't change it with stat points. Something like 'Battery Compartment: Increase Maximum Energy by 10' or 'Draw Capacitors: As long as Energy level is above 4, regenerate 2 Energy per turn instead of 1' or something similar to that. You might even be able to get away with something like 'Energy Leech: If you get attacked by the enemy, gain 2 Energy'.

A better way would be to create a skill which is based off of other attributes, like Nightingale's (@Genni's) Combat Triage. She can increase the effectiveness of the ability by spending skill points on her Attack, getting more healing each time she spends the same amount of Energy.
